    NX CAM is highly useful in the medical industry for creating tool paths for complex part geometry and generating G-codes. It helps us facilitate cross-functional collaboration from design to manufacturing to quality checks. It also gives us optimized potential solutions. We have also started using NX CAM for additive manufacturing of medical implants.

    NX CAM is very user-friendly; it saves engineers a lot of time, effort, and money. Simulation in NX CAM helps us create real-life scenarios and identify potential solutions. It also provides us with an edge in components manufactured using additive manufacturing. NX CAM also offers a significant advantage in conventional machining, such as CNC.

    Powermill did not use model associativity or parametric so was not easy to respond to design changes but was good at toolpath strategies and collision avoidance
