NX CAM: Integrated, Innovative, and Proven

Get a major process upgrade for your shop. NX for Manufacturing integrates:

  • Computer Assisted Design (CAD)
  • Computer Assisted Manufacturing (CAM)
  • Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) data
  • Product Information Management (PMI)

Simplify CAM programming and improve the handling of work packages and quality inspections. NX CAM also helps you prepare part models, design and setup fixtures, and organize post-processing and shop documentation.

Mastering Models for Smoother Operations

Production shops often find themselves translating, editing, or fixing the 3D models they receive from their customers. Change orders also come in on short notice. The goal is to find the most efficient ways to create and manage:

  • Shop floor set-up drawings
  • Modeling of work-holding fixtures
  • Modeling of cutting tools
  • In-process drawings

NX CAM removes the headaches and cuts down on rework and scrap. It also lets you preserve existing CAM and CMM programming when making changes, preventing loss of work if a change order gets revoked later.

Simplifying Mold and Die Tooling

NX CAM:

  • Shortens setup and time to manufacturing
  • Reduces reworking and scrap
  • Aids the performance of machine tools
  • Increases output quality

Realize the benefits of the single system/master model approach that NX CAM provides. Take advantage of the solution’s ability to automatically create operations. You can automate design, CAM, CMM and work instructions. The solution also enables moving from 3 to 5 axis machining and integrates mold flow analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

What manufacturing capabilities and machining strategies does NX for Manufacturing support?


NX for Manufacturing supports 2.5-axis to full 5-axis milling, turning, mill-turn, and wire EDM. It also enables hybrid additive-subtractive manufacturing, CMM inspection programming, and robotics integration. This versatility makes NX suitable for industries from aerospace and automotive to mold, die, and medical device production.
Does NX for Manufacturing support additive manufacturing or hybrid machining?


Yes. NX supports both metal and polymer additive manufacturing workflows and hybrid systems that combine deposition and subtractive machining. Users can plan, simulate, and verify complete hybrid operations within the same environment.
What are the key benefits of NX for Manufacturing for workflow integration?


NX provides a single integrated platform for CAD, CAM, CMM, and robotics. It eliminates data conversion, maintains associativity between design and manufacturing, and supports digital twins for toolpath validation — all of which shorten lead times and improve product quality.
