Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM)
CAD CAM Software
Shorter product development cycles are the primary driving force in manufacturing. Continuous innovation and change in designs require more and faster development of numerical control programs, molds, tools and dies required to manufacture the product.
Rapid technology change is increasing the complexity of the tools and processes used in manufacturing, and new methodologies are breaking down the walls between design and manufacturing operations.
Computer Aided Design
As the world leader in computer aided manufacturing, Siemens PLM software helps companies meet the challenge with leading edge solutions. More than point solutions for discrete production tasks, the NX suite of manufacturing software links design and manufacturing to improve productivity throughout tooling and fixture design and NC machining processes.
CAM Software
Advanced technology in NX tooling solutions automates and accelerates the development of molds, dies, and fixtures for higher quality, lower cost and faster turnaround. For machining, NX delivers the range and depth of CAM performance that maximises returns on investments in advanced machine tools.
Linked with proven data and process controls, NX helps companies manage information to improve productivity and collaboration in manufacturing operations.
Machine Design
To maximise the value of today’s latest and most powerful machine tools, it is crucial that manufacturing companies leverage NC programming systems that realise the full capability of these investments.
NX CAM provides a wide range of machine tool programming capabilities in a single integrated solution to enable you to take advantage of the latest machine tool technologies and manufacturing processes.
NX’s high speed machining strategies facilitate efficient hard milling while maintaining smooth motion and consistent chip loads. Synchronised point distribution produces tool paths that deliver a superior finish at the machine tool. The NX machining library provides proven out of the box solutions for machining tool steels.
Machine Technology
NX supports the latest generation of multi function machine tools, including multi channel milling, drilling and turning capabilities for simultaneous 5 axis support. NX facilitates a wide range of flexible 5 axis machining with many tool axis control options.
NX’s automated feature based machining strategies enable you to apply machining processes to hole and surface features in the parts model. You can use NX CAM wizards to capture and re use proven machining processes that lead NC programmers through step by step machining sequences. You can leverage embedded product manufacturing information (PMI) in an NX 3D model to drive your machining process decisions.
Simulation Software
G-code-driven machine tool simulation validates NX programs in the context of the machine tool. Complete toolkits with proven post processors, G-code simulation drivers, 3D machine tool models, setup examples and sample parts are available for select multi function machines.
You can use NX Postbuilder’s graphical user interface to create post processors with simple drag and drop techniques. Hundreds of posts are available in the NX online post processor library.
Engineered Design
NX CAM is totally integrated with other NX solutions so that NC programmers can directly access comprehensive design, assembly and drafting tools in a single part manufacturing environment.
With design through manufacturing associatively, design changes are automatically propagated to machining operations. Programmers and manufacturing engineers can work with part models, create and assemble fixtures, develop tool paths and even model entire machines for 3D machining simulation in this environment.
