The AI-Ready Manufacturer: Practical Steps to Get Started

WEST Session: AI is everywhere in the headlines, but most manufacturers are still asking the same question: where do we start? Between vendor hype and uncertain ROI, it’s hard to separate what’s possible from what’s practical. This talk will help cut through the noise and share a pragmatic roadmap for building AI capability in manufacturing. Attendees will learn three proven ways to apply AI today: automating documentation, accelerating compliance, and capturing engineering expertise, along with three common pitfalls to avoid when launching AI initiatives. Rather than a futuristic vision, this session provides concrete, usable steps that any manufacturer can take immediately, whether they’re a 50-person shop or a global enterprise. The key message: you don’t need a lab full of data scientists to get started. With the right workflows, AI can deliver measurable results now, and prepare your organization for the next decade of manufacturing innovation.

GibbsCAM - Powerfully Simple, Simply Powerful!

WEST Session: In this presentation, we’ll explore how GibbsCAM empowers modern machine shops to overcome complex manufacturing challenges through advanced, yet intuitive, CAM technology. We’ll walk through real-world part examples that demonstrate how GibbsCAM streamlines programming for Milling, Turning, and Multi-Task Machines. Attendees will learn how to reduce cycle times, improve toolpath quality, and eliminate redundant operations using intelligent automation, toolpath optimization, and post processor customization. We’ll highlight strategies like adaptive roughing, simultaneous machining, and sync management for multi-channel machines—all designed to help manufacturers maximize spindle uptime and shorten setup times. We'll also showcase how GibbsCAM’s associative modeling, geometry creation tools, and integrated simulation reduce scrap and improve confidence before the part hits the machine. This session will provide actionable insights to improve programming workflow. By combining powerful functionality with a user-friendly interface, GibbsCAM gives you the control and flexibility needed to stay competitive in today’s fast-paced manufacturing world. Join us to see how GibbsCAM can help you do more with your machines.
