NX CAM provides a wide range of functionality, from simple NC programmers to multiaxis machining, enabling NC programmers to address many tasks using one system. The flexibility of NX CAM means that the most demanding jobs can be completed easily It also avails wide range of 2-axis and 3-axis machining capabilities for prismatic and freeform parts- ranging from manual tool path creation and editing to advanced, automated cutting methods.

NX CAM provides a complete turning solution that is easy enough to use on simple programs and capable enough to tackle your toughest geometry in multispindle, multi turret applications. Turning in NX can use either 2D part profiles or full soild models. It includes routines for roughing, multiple-pass finishing, grooving thread cutting and centerline drilling.

NX automatically applies the right feeds and speeds for a given operation and tool selection. A key NX CAM advantage facilitates integrated simulation and verification, which enables programmers to check tool paths within the NC programming session. Multiple levels of capability are available.
