NX and Solid Edge include very powerful sheet metal design capabilities and figure as an important part of the engineering solution for sheet metal fabricators. Nesting and fabrication applications a…
Celeritive’s VoluMill pattern is a patented approach to high speed roughing that is well-suited to hard materials. See how easy it is to use the VoluMill plug-in for NX CAM and create these …
Is your high speed machine suffering from fitful accel/decel as it process rapid traverse motions? If you isolate Z-travel as part of G0 rapid processing in order to “decend last” or “lift f…
Change is unavoidable Manufacturers are famously conservative. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. They’ll put up with workarounds if it means minimizing change – minimizing risks to their production….
I recently received a request to demonstrate how to create a G70/71 lathe roughing cycle in our Post Builder product. Our CAM Development team created CYCLE95 (lathe roughing for Siemens contro…
NX provides the CAD/CAM integration needed to build fully associative manufacturing models, including in-process models and fixtures. One way to build these associative setups in a single part f…
When a job shop receives the 3D model of a part to be machined, they seldom receive a 3D model of the raw stock (or stock body). For most situations, that’s not a problem, because there are sev…
Interactive Cut Region management is a new tool added to NX9 to help CAM users easily segregate “steep” from “non-steep” areas*. This new capability means that the overall NC programming proces…
My last blog post was about the Description field enhancement. Now I want to cover its companion, Notes. Notes give the NC programmer an easy-to-use capability to convey information direc…
