NX for manufacturing

NX provides a complete set of NC programming capabilities in a single CAM system as well as an integrated set of manufacturing software applications. These applications facilitate part modeling, tool design and inspection programming – all based on proven NX technology

Your advantages with NX CAM

  • Time and cost savings thanks to the system's learning ability and reuse of processes
  • Simple profile machining to multi-axis machining, programming of mill-turn machines, special cycles and manufacturer-specific machine configurations
  • Excellent transparency and integration of expanded PLM sub-processes
  • Programming of highly-complex NC machines with a well-engineered post-processor system and integrated G-code machine simulation

An insight into the software and the way it works

Siemens NX provides complete CAM software solutions for programming machine tools, for post-processing and for machining simulation. The wide range of functions  of NX CAM enable numerous tasks to be carried out. The system is designed for tasks from simple NC programming, to high-speed, multi-axis processing. Thanks to its flexibility, even complex work can be carried out very easily.

The key differences between NX CAM and other CAM software ?

NX CAM software enables you to generate efficient toolpaths, simulate machining operations and produce production-ready programs for a wide range of CNC machines. Additionally, you can prepare part models and set up machine configurations using the integrated CAD capabilities.

 

Automated programming

Generate automatic operations for many common functions in seconds using NX CAM's feature-based machining capability.
This automated approach simplifies programming and minimizes manual input, improving productivity by up to 90%.

 

 

Advanced machining strategies

Produce precision parts of exceptional complexity using advanced machining strategies such as ultra-fast multi-axis roughing and fluid finishing at high feed rates.
Innovative methods help you improve the quality of machined parts, while reducing cycle times by 60%.

 

 

Cloud-connected tool library

Use and manage tools to program your work easily, thanks to a modern graphic library with dynamic tool preview.
Quickly import tool data from supplier catalogs, eliminating manual entry and improving programming efficiency.

 

 

But also...

Integrated simulation

Digitally validate operations with integrated simulation. NX precisely simulates the machining process, enabling you to eliminate possible errors and improve processes before executing the program on the real CNC machine.

Postprocessing on the cloud

Generate validated, production-ready programs for your CNC machine tools using Post Hub, a cloud-based post-processing solution. Siemens Post Hub offers over 1,000 post-processors tailored to the requirements of your machine tool configuration.

Integrated solutions

Collaborate effectively at every stage of the design-to-production process, from CAD and CAM programming to 3D printing and CMM inspection programming, all in a single environment.
