NX CAM

Turn Every Design into a Precision Part.

INTRODUCTION

NX CAM (NX for Manufacturing) integrates CNC machining, robotics, 3D printing and quality inspection into one system, so your teams program, simulate and validate manufacturing processes before a single part is cut. Advanced toolpath technologies and G-code-driven simulation catch problems in the program, not on the machine, reducing scrapped parts and machine downtime, and cutting the manual programming time your team spends on repeatable operations.

As programs move from 2.5-axis milling and hole-making, turn into 3-axis freeform work, and scale up to full multi-axis machining for the most complex geometries, every stage stays connected to the same engineering data through Teamcenter. And once a part is machined, NX CAM closes the loop: inspection programming, execution on the coordinate measuring machine, and measured data analysis, all happening within the same workflow, so your team can confirm quality against the original design intent, not just against the machining program.
