NX CAM offers the ability to create and edit post processors with the NX Post Builder. This application is extremely flexible and powerful, and can provide useful benefits.
This online Tech Tip series is intended as an overview of the post builder and postprocessing workflows in NX CAM. Much of the content discussed in these videos is fairly advanced and while potentially valuable to everyone, it may be more useful to those of you with post processor experience.
If you're looking to learn more about Post Builder, beyond what's captured in this Tech Tip series, you might want to consider our 4-day instructor-led training on Post Building Techniques (course id: TR11060). This instructor-led course provides an additional level of workflow depth while also covering more topics (mcodes, subtabs, macros, dual unit posts, etc), an opportunity for interactive discussion, and hands-on examples.

What's new in NX 8.5 Turning
This 35 minute demonstration walks through the turning NC programming workflow while focusing on the new capabilities introduced in NX 8.5.
The new functionality in NX 8.5 for turning ranges from simple UI changes to a new operation type that help to create NC programs quickly and machine high quality parts more efficiently.
Introduction to the new milling enhancements in NX 8.5 CAM
There are many new enhancements in NX 8.5 CAM. These are just some of the milling highlights. Watch this video to learn about four new milling enhancements in NX CAM that can accelerate programming and machining of machinery, mold & die, and 5-axis milling.
- Volume-based 2.5 D Milling for fast, intuitive programming of prismatic parts
- New Valley rest milling pattern finds best cutting motion for high quality surface finish
- Enhanced contour profile cuts fast and extends tool life for convex wall machining
- 3 to 5 axis tool tilt enhancements
How to use Volume-Based 2.5 D Milling to program prismatic parts
Learn how various machinery and aerospace parts can be programmed 3X to 5X faster (and with a reduction of machining time) in NX 8.5.
- Simply select surfaces for floors and walls (no need to create boundaries for containment)
- System tracks areas already cut (knows the block model in that instance)
- Visualize the areas that need to be cut next
- Create optimized tool paths and avoid air-cutting
- Change the operation sequence and get updated tool paths
How to fully control your tool paths using Generic Motion
Learn how to get the tool paths you want and take direct control of your tool's motion (machines with 5 axes of freedom or less) by using Generic Motion:
- On-screen graphical interaction (dynamic handles) to define tool position and orientation
- Build tool paths from a selection of linear, circular, and rotary motion elemenets
- Maintain associativity for tool path updates
- Support for milling and drilling tools
How to quickly react to design change requests using integrated CAD/CAM
Learn how to use various techniques for reacting to design change requests and when to apply them:
- Edit a part's geometry using Synchronous Technology (regardless of its data origin)
- Replace the design part with a new version and update the tool paths
- In terms of JIT machining, analyze the current workpiece (on the machine) against a design change
- React to complex design changes on complex parts
How to create a manufacturing setup; and the benefits of creating one
Learn how to create a manufacturing setup in NX CAM that includes part geometry ready for machining, collision-free workpiece holding, and how to use it in shop documentation:
• Prepare part geometry for machining (without affecting the original design part)
• Determine workpiece holding (use fixtures from a library)
• Simulate the setup to expose physical conflicts (machine limits, collisions with fixture / machine)
• Analyze uncut material using dynamic cross-sectioning and fringe plotting
• Communicate the setup in shop docs
• Prepare part geometry for machining (without affecting the original design part)
• Determine workpiece holding (use fixtures from a library)
• Simulate the setup to expose physical conflicts (machine limits, collisions with fixture / machine)
