NX CAM Die Mold Machining

Powerful industry-specific CAM software capabilities for mold and die machining, production machining, complex parts machining, and shop floor connectivity, have been specially-designed to dramatically increase your overall manufacturing productivity in NX CAM.
Smooth consistent on-part step-overs provide fine finishes across even imperfect imported geometry. And fine finishes in corners and valleys are achieved with careful attention to cutting directions in steep and non-steep areas. These optimized cut directions make for more consistent semi-finish results as well, so the improvement is compounded for finish machining. Multi-thread processing takes better advantage of multi-core hardware to achieve calculations up to 50 percent faster.

Mold and Die Machining

Powerful new NX computer-aided manufacturing capabilities for mold and die machining enable you to create more precise tool paths faster and produce parts with high-quality surface finish. Multithread processing takes better advantage of multi-core hardware and produces tool paths as much as 50 percent faster. Recalculations are also faster, with intelligent updates across multiple operations that understand dependencies and recalculate only what requires an update. Non-cutting moves can be quickly updated without disturbing the cutting passes, making recalculations even faster.

NX CAM includes several updates for die and mold machining. See what’s new for 3 axis surface milling and other related functions.

• Tool path containment and boundaries
• Cut Region Management
• Roughing tool path pattern optimization
• Smoothing Z-level corners
• Smoothing non-cutting moves
• Tool path editing
