What's new in NX CAM Release December 2019?

The new release of NX software includes some highlights, changes and additional features.

What's new at a glance:

3- and 5-Axis Milling

3- and 5-Axis Milling


The new milling enhancements in NX CAM software help you boost material removal rates and improve surface finish, while shortening the overall machining time.

5-Axis Adaptive Milling:
Accelerate part machining with 5-axis Adaptive Milling that enables high material removal rates, reduced number of setups, and short finishing cycles.

5-Axis Guiding Curves:
5-Axis Guiding Curves finishing has been enhanced to include parametric tool-axis interpolation, improving surface finish.

Robotic programming:
Robotic programming now enables you to control multiple robots to perform machining tasks such as drilling, deburring and polishing.

3-Axis Adaptive Milling:
3-Axis Adaptive Milling has been enhanced to support tools with a “protection“ chamfer, which are particularly useful for machining of hard materials.

Hole Milling:
Hole milling now enables generating machine cycles to streamline programming and machining of the most common machining features – holes.

NX’s Machining Line Planner:
The Machining Line Planner simplifies operations’ allocation across multiple setups and machines, while optimizing the process by minimizing the number of tool changes, table rotations and tool travel distance.
