"What if your CAM software did not just prevent crashes, but actually made your parts faster, your tools last longer and your machines run smarter? That is exactly what Midwest CAM Solutions is bringing to the table with two game-changing partnerships: Vericut Force and up2parts AutoCAM," said a company spokesperson. "From automated feedrate optimization to AI-driven programming, the Minneapolis-based GibbsCAM reseller is helping shops across the Midwest squeeze more performance out of every program and free up their programmers in the process."
With Vericut Force, feedrates are no longer a guess, the company reported. The software analyzes actual tool engagement and material removal rates to fine-tune every cut automatically. "The result is faster cycle times, extended tool life and more consistent performance across machines," said the spokesperson. "In some cases, shops have seen cycle time reductions of 10 to 25%, especially in hard metals or interrupted cuts."
Up2parts AutoCAM brings a different kind of power to the table, noted the company. "By leveraging AI-driven feature recognition and strategy automation, shops are reducing programming time by up to 70% for repeat or similar parts," said the spokesperson. "This is a huge win for high-mix job shops and short lead time production. Going from model to NC code with minimal input frees up programmers to focus on more complex, value-added work."
The spokesperson continued: "These are not just flashy new tools. They are practical solutions to real problems, and they are just part of what Midwest CAM is rolling out as they expand their support, sharpen their brand and prepare for the upcoming release of GibbsCAM 2026."
"While technology continues to evolve, Midwest CAM remains grounded in the principles that built its reputation: responsive support and practical expertise," added the spokesperson. "From 3-axis mills to Swiss-style lathes and full 5-axis multitasking systems, its team stays involved well beyond installation. They help troubleshoot edge cases, refine toolpath logic and ensure post processors and simulation are running exactly as expected."
Training is a key part of that ongoing support. Midwest CAM offers flexible options online, on-site or in its Minneapolis classroom. Whether guiding a new user through the basics or tackling advanced workflows with a seasoned machinist, the goal is always the same: build confidence, improve efficiency and keep machines cutting safely and consistently. This approach played a key role in helping Natoma Manufacturing successfully integrate two new 5-axis machines into production, supported by custom training and simulation guidance from the Midwest CAM team.
