I develop new capabilities for my company in NX CAM, identifying solutions to fulfil user requirements, develop the software configuration and lead the deployment of the capability in conjunction with our IT ecosystem.
Pros
Associativity of toolpath to design/stage model
simulation of the toolpath strategy
collision avoidance when calculating the toolpath
utilises machine templates for fast setup of new CAM parts
Cons
customisation of CMM path strategies when using PMI
Automation app integration to create custom routines
migration of older post builder posts to Post Configurator

NX CAM is suited to any CAM programming solution where a 3D model is available but not for situations where there is no model or s very simple toolpath is required
THCS are UK authorized resellers of NX CAM. Since 2023, we are exclusive UK Partner. We are very impressed with the NX CAM offering, and having a deep penetration with the CATIA user space in the UK, we are constantly promoting the benefits of NX CAM over CATIA leveraging our unique position in the market.
Pros
User interface
Virtual Simulation
Automatic Roughing
Cons
Greater Automation
Easier on lower spec PCs

SMB and large organisations can make good use of NX CAM. potentially not so suitable for smaller companies due to high subscription costs. Potentially look to introduce start up incentives for small companies
