NX X Manufacturing

Complete computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software solutions for machine tool programming, postprocessing and machining simulation. NX X™ delivers proven capabilities for manufacturing in a wide variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, medical, mold and die, and machinery.

Reduce Programming Time by More Than 90%

NX CAM can improve your manucturing productivity with the latest NC programming automation technologies. With feature-based machining (FBM), you can reduce programming time by as much as 90 percent. Flexible, reusable templates enable you to apply pre-defined, rules-driven processes to standardize and speed your programming tasks.

Many Manufacturing Tasks, One System

Use NX CAM independently (Stand Alone) as well as a fully integrated NX solution. The flexibility of NX CAM means that you can easily complete the most demanding jobs. From simple NC programming to high-speed and multi-axis machining, NX CAM provides the flexibility to handle a wide variety of manufacturing, from 2.5 axis machining to turbomachinery milling.

90%

Reduced programming time

Automate NC (numerical control) programming using feature-based machining and modern interactive techniques to save time and standardize processes.

60%

Shorter machining cycles

Generate high-performance machining operations to increase material removal rates, improve surface quality and extend tool life.

70%

Higher part quality

Complete jobs on spec and on time by using one CAD/CAM software to connect part manufacturing — from 3D models to precision machined parts.

ADVANCED, INTEGRATED NC PROGRAMMING

You can streamline and automate NC programming, while reducing cycle time, using powerful, application-specific tools. From 2.5-axis machining and mold manufacturing, to simultaneous 5-axis milling and high-volume production, NX allows you to use one CAM software to make better parts faster.

COMPLEX PARTS MACHINING

Create precisely controlled 5-axis tool paths to effectively machine complex geometries. Using application-specific capabilities, you can dramatically reduce programming time and create smart, collision-free cutting operations.

 

MOLD, DIE, & ELECTRODE MACHINING

High-speed machining, automated rest milling, and smooth finishing methods help you produce molds and dies with a near-mirror finish, while reducing lead time. Quickly design and program electrodes using an automated process.

POST PROCESSING & MACHINING SIMULATION

Generate machine-ready NC programs for a wide range of machine tools and controls with a postprocessor embedded in your CAM software. Leverage the digital twin of your machines and processes to accurately validate manufacturing operations to reduce setup time and maximize machine uptime.

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 reduce programming time by up to 90 percent.
