2.5-axis milling: Machine with volume-based milling to enable faster programming of prismatic parts, and feature-based machining automates programming. High-speed machining strategies can reduce machining time by up to 60%, and multiple-part programming boosts productivity.

Data management: gain access to CAM data management and enable cloud file management, including check-in and check-out of manufacturing files and revision control. Explore features that help identify dependencies between design parts and CAM setups, while integrated discussion threads and task assignments support cross-functional collaboration between designers and manufacturers.

Turning: Effectively machine cylindrical parts on lathe machines with single and dual spindles using comprehensive turning capabilities. Roughing strategies include face, turn, back turn, bore and undercut operations, while finishing techniques encompass multiple-passes strategies and facing. Hole-making includes spot, drill, peck, chip, ream and tap operations, with grooving offering flexible tracking point control and threading for outer and inner diameters.

Simulation, postprocessing and shop documentation: Use toolpath animation and a postprocessor to generate production-ready G-code. Post Hub, a cloud-based library with over 1,000 postprocessors, and Post Configurator allow modification or creation of new postprocessors; machine tool builder and work instruction tools create kinematics models and develop associative work instructions.

Integrated CAD tools: NX CAM provides industry-leading CAD capabilities for modeling, editing and assembly, which speed up computer numerical control (CNC) programming. Using the integrated translators, you can read all the standard data formats, including IGES, DXF, STEP, STL and JT.
