Overall Satisfaction with NX CAM
I develop new capabilities for my company in NX CAM, identifying solutions to fulfil user requirements, develop the software configuration and lead the deployment of the capability in conjunction with our IT ecosystem.
- Associativity of toolpath to design/stage model
- simulation of the toolpath strategy
- collision avoidance when calculating the toolpath
- utilises machine templates for fast setup of new CAM parts
- customisation of CMM path strategies when using PMI
- Automation app integration to create custom routines
- migration of older post builder posts to Post Configurator
- B-axis Turning
- Collision avoidance
- re-use of toolpaths
- positive impact to efficiency of programming using the Wave linked stage models
- ability to respond to design change and re-author a toolpath
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
