CAD for NC Programming

With NX CAM you get access to the modeling & assembly functionalities of NX, the industry leading CAD system from Siemens PLM Software, all within the same system. This means that you do not have to spend time creating geometry in a different system and then importing it.

NX's hybrid modeling includes high-performance tools for feature-based parametric design, as well traditional, explicit modeling and unique direct modeling that works with any geometric model.

Beyond component design, NX provides the most powerful CAD assembly design tools available. NX drafting software delivers a comprehensive set of automated tools for production and management of engineering and manufacturing drawings.

Solid Edge connectivity for NX CAM offers a fully associative connectivity with Solid Edge. Users can directly open a Solid Edge file in NX CAM and generate NC programs without any need for translation. Subsequent design changes made to the model in Solid Edge are automatically reflected in the NX CAM programming environment to update the toolpaths.

NX Advantages:

  • Integrated Modeling, Assembly and Drafting functionality all within NX.
  • Eliminates the need to create geometry in a different system and import it.
  • Toolpaths created in NX CAM are associative to the part geometry in NX.
