Designcenter NX CAM: digitalise part manufacturing

This 20-page eBook explains how Designcenter NX CAM (called NX CAM in the document) brings NC programming, postprocessing and machine simulation together in one CAD-CAM-CNC process chain for part manufacturing. It is organised by capability, from basic milling through to robotics and additive manufacturing, and ends with a table of the available NX CAM packages and modules.

What the document covers

• Fixed-axis, high-speed adaptive and 5-axis milling, plus multi-function machines, turning, pinch turning and wire EDM
• Application-specific programming for turbomachinery parts such as blisks and impellers, and tube machining for manifolds and cylinder head ports
• Programming automation with feature-based machining, PMI-driven machining, the machining data library and process templates
• Integrated postprocessing, the Post Configurator, the cloud-based Post Hub and the optimised Sinumerik postprocessor
• G-code-driven machine simulation and the use of the Virtual NC Controller Kernel (VNCK)
• Related applications: mould, progressive die and electrode design, CMM inspection programming, robotic machining and Teamcenter-managed shop floor data

Who it is for

NC programmers, manufacturing engineers and machine shop managers in aerospace, automotive, medical device, mould and die and machinery production, from small shops to large manufacturing teams.
