How to create inspection-ready CMM programs in NX



Learn the basics about NX CMM Inspection Programming and how to use it to automate programming, capture best practices, and minimize on-machine prove-outs. 

  •  Create an inspection template to capture best practices and the machine setup
  •  Use automation tools such as (Product Manufacturing Information) PMI and CMM add-ons to reduce programming time
  •  Use simulation and collision avoidance to minimize on-machine prove-out

How Synchronous Technology can help you prepare models for pattern development


Learn how Synchronous Technology can accelerate your pattern development by using it to:
  •  Clean-up translated part geometry
  •  Develop cores from cavities
  •  Add core prints
  •  Maintain associativity to the design model

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
