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

Likelihood to Recommend

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

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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

Likelihood to Recommend

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
