Express: NX CAM basics

Objective

This seminar covers the main basic functionalities and opportunities provided by the NX CAM module in the areas of 2D rough machining and finishing as well as simple drilling. The process-based philosophy and the effective use of the NX CAM module is taught using practical examples. The integration and consistency of NC machining on NX and in the customer's area of application will also be analysed and established.
