Overview of CAM

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.

Stages in machining process

• Preprocessing
Import the cad file into the CAM interface
Setup- Analyze, define geometry, define collisions, create tools
Machining process
Shop floor document
• Post processing
Program output
• NC program validation
NC machine simulation
• Uploading the NCP to CNC machine

Feature-based machining

Automate NC programming
and re-use knowledge

• Save up to 90% on programming time

with feature-based machining
• Increase efficiency by capturing and
reusing proven machining processes
• Achieve faster, repeatable NC
programming, requiring less expertise

15
Programming automation

Fast and simple programming of parts with many

holes, even where full automation is not available.

• Program holes without selecting geometry

• Use feature groups without using full process

automation

Visualize the in-process feature for

each operation
Addition benefits in NX CAM

Add special purpose/standard cutting tools in NX tool library

Add CNC machines in NX machine library

Create/customize postprocessors

Customize Shop floor document
