    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.

    As I said before, it's the only tool known to man capable of programming Rockwell PLC's, so if any colleague needed to program one I 100% would recommend it. So, this software is appropiate only when using Rockwell PLC's. As far as I know it would program any other brand.

    Siemens AG
    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

    Studio 5000 is a good product. Compared to Omrom's CX-Programmer feels more advanced and with more functions, altough that depends on the PLC being programmed. I choose Studio 5000 because there are no other options when programming Rockwell PLC's

    • Well, there is one customer that only uses Rockwells PLC's, so I could say that Studio 5000 is a must have and a good percent of the bussiness depends on it.
