What is NX CAM?
Siemens NX CAM provides NC programming capabilitie and enables the use of consistent 3D models, data and processes to connect planning and shop floor operations with a digital thread.
It is designed to help users streamline and automate NC programming, while reducing cycle time, using application-specific tools. From 2.5-axis machining and mold manufacturing, to simultaneous 5-axis milling and high-volume production, NX aims to allow use of just one CAM software to make better parts faster.
Use Cases
Prismatic Parts Machining
Minimize manual input and create optimized processes to machine precision parts. Advanced technologies, such as volume-based milling and automated feature recognition, can, according to the vendor, reduce programming time by up to 90 percent.Mold, Die & Electrode Machining
High-speed machining, automated rest milling, and smooth finishing methods help produce molds and dies with a near-mirror finish, while reducing lead time. Design and program electrodes using an automated process.Complex Parts Machining
Create precisely controlled 5-axis tool paths to machine complex geometries. Using application-specific capabilities, users can reduce programming time and create collision-free cutting operations.
Postprocessing & Machining Simulation
Generate machine-ready NC programs for a range of machine tools and controls with a postprocessor embedded in the CAM software. Leverage the digital twin of machines and processes to validate manufacturing operations to reduce setup time and maximize machine uptime.
