3) Weaknesses & Limitations
- Initial configuration effort: High setup time for new machines—requires careful mapping of axes, offsets, and controller idiosyncrasies.
- Edge-case manual edits: Rare or shop-specific behaviors (complex probing sequences, proprietary macros) may need manual post-editing or custom macros.
- Version/compatibility maintenance: Controller firmware updates or GibbsCAM upgrades sometimes require post adjustments.
- Proprietary lock-in: Custom posts can be hard to port to other CAM systems.
- Cost: Licensing or paid custom post development may be significant for small shops.
