Discover the capabilities of NX CAM software.
Prismatic parts machining
Rapidly program prismatic parts using advanced 2.5-axis milling and turning technologies.
Volume-based milling, automated feature-based machining, and interactive mill-turn programming capabilities simplify prismatic programming.
Using automated capabilities in NX CAM software, reduce programming time by up to 90% while generating optimized machining operations for high-precision components.
Mold, die and electrode machining
Reduce lead time using the latest 3-axis milling methods to produce molds and dies with a near-mirror finish. Powerful capabilities to manufacture high-quality tooling components include:
- High-speed cutting methods
- Automated rest milling
- Smooth finishing toolpaths
- Multi-axis machining
Design and program electrodes with an automated process using the integrated CAD and CAM capabilities in NX software.
Complex parts machining
Program precisely controlled 5-axis toolpaths to effectively machine components with complex geometries and intricate details.
Using application-specific capabilities you can dramatically simplify the NC programming of challenging parts, such as impellers, blisks and engine ports.
The integrated simulation allows you to validate the most demanding jobs—accurately improving overall productivity.
Postprocessing and machining simulation
To generate production-ready NC programs for a variety of machine tools and controls, you can use the following capabilities in NX CAM software:
- Cloud-based postprocessing with over 1,000 kits that include the machine digital model, kinematics and postprocessor
- Integrated machining simulation capabilities that include G-code-driven simulation that displays the motion driven from the NC code output
