NX CAM
NX CAM supports integrated CNC programming, simulation and manufacturing planning.
On the software discovery list. Connector development and release dates have not been announced.
Workflow ideas
Plan machining operations
Begin with the selected part, stock, machine or cell layout. In the intended NX CAM preview, plan machining operations; the visible result is a process setup with work coordinates, resources and target geometry visible. Review orientation, reach, tooling and fixture assumptions before accepting or exporting it.
Generate multi-axis toolpaths
Use the chosen operations, tools or robot tasks. In the intended NX CAM preview, generate multi-axis toolpaths; the visible result is a generated path or production sequence over the same setup. Review clearance, collisions, limits, feeds and operation order before accepting or exporting it.
Simulate machine motion
Start from the simulated material removal, robot motion or process results. In the intended NX CAM preview, simulate machine motion; the visible result is a verification view with remaining stock, reach or cycle data exposed. Review collisions, code target, cycle time and safe human approval before accepting or exporting it.
