Siemens NX CAM Software for Engineers & Architects (1 Year License, Windows)

NX™ CAM software has helped many of the world's leading manufacturers and job shops produce better parts faster. You can also achieve similar benefits by making use of the unique advantages that NX CAM offersThis short book is designed to introduce you to a few of the many powerful capabilities available inside NX CAM. With three simple hands-on exercises and instructions for accessing additional in-software learning resources, you can use this book to get started with NX CAM today!Understanding NX CAM What is NX CAM: NX CAM is a complete set of NC programming software applications developed by Siemens PLM Software. Originally introduced as Unigraphics in 1973 for aerospace component machining, NX CAM's rich history of technology development has advanced it into a market-leading NC programming application for many industries. NX CAM is a key application in a broader set of software solutions for design (CAD), simulation (CAE) and manufacturing (CAM). How does NX CAM help me make better parts faster: More value in each key capabilityNX CAM delivers real differences through key capabilities such as its advanced programming, postprocessing and simulation func tion ality. Each NX module provides more than the standard functions you expect from typical CAM packages. For example, the integrated machine tool simulation is driven by output from the NX postprocessor rather than just tool path data. As a result, NX facilitates a higher level of program validation right inside its CAM system NX for manufacturingNX 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 deign and inspection programming – all based on proven NX technology. Right for your industry: NX has been adopted across many industries, delivering proven capability for manufacturing in the aerospace, automotive, medical device, mold and die, and machinery industries. Whether you have a small machine shop with a few machine tools or a large team of manufacturing engineers who utilize numerous machine tools, NX provides a solution to match your business needs. A leader in manufacturingWhen the right design and manufacturing software is matched with the latest controllers, machine tools and other shop floor equipment, you can implement a process chain that delivers maximum performance for your business. Siemens is an established leader in advanced machine tool controller technology and drive equipment. This combination of software and manufacturing equipment expertise enables us to develop part manufacturing solutions that provide you with unique and powerful advantages. Key capabilities in NX CAM Advanced programming capabilities: NX CAM provides a wide range of functionality, from simple NC programming to multi-axis machining, enabling NC programmers to address many tasks using one system. The flexibility of NX CAM means that the most demanding jobs can be completed easily Fixed-axis milling: NX CAM provides a wide range of 2-axis and 3-axis machining capabilities for prismatic and freeform parts – ranging from manual tool path creation and editing to advanced, automated cutting methods. Optimized roughing methods maximize the material removal rate without overloading the tool Fully automated rest milling removes uncut material from previous operations and eliminates air-cutting. A wide range of finishing techniques delivers superior surface finish quality. Automatic collision detection ensures safe machining of the most demanding geometry.
