NX CAM 3AXIS MILLING
A Comprehensive NX CAM 3-Axis Milling Software Solution
Siemens NX CAM 3-axis milling software module in NX provides a comprehensive solution for the programming of free form parts, such as molds and dies.
With Siemens NX CAM 3-axis milling software you can achieve a high material removal rate and superior surface finish. The advanced cutting strategies include roughing, rest milling, high-speed machining (HSM) and finishing.
SMOOTH OFFSET CUTTING
NX provides smooth offset pattern cuts with special step over moves and corner treatments to maintain high feed rates and fine finishes. You can cut inside out or outside in.
SMOOTH TRANSITIONS
Step over and traverse motions are smoothed to minimize machine jerk and keep feed rates maximized throughout the entire operation.
ROUGHING
The optimized roughing methods in NX maximize the material removal rate without overloading the tool. It features:
Automatic multiple cut ranges with variable cut depths
HSM cutting patterns for increased material removal rate
In-process work piece (IPW) automatically tracks the machined and remaining material
TROCHOIDAL CUTTING STRATEGY
The trochoidal cutting method is a high-speed roughing method that maintains high metal removal rates while managing tool loads. It automatically prevents you from exceeding your specified cutting conditions.
The smooth corners, step overs, and engagements of this cutting strategy ensure safe cutting conditions at high speeds and feeds.
REST MILLING
Fully automated rest milling removes uncut material from previous operations and eliminates air-cutting. With the rest milling capabilities you can:
Generate efficient multi -stage roughing based on IPW
Achieve consistent stock for the next cutting operation
Use cutting parameters fine-tuned for HSM
FINISHING
NX CAM 3-axis milling offers a wide range of finishing techniques that deliver superior surface finish quality. The smooth and continuous cutting patterns, such as Z-level and offset, can produce consistent surface finish in both steep and shallow areas of the part.
STREAMLINE TOOL PATH
This HSM operation produces smooth, flowing patterns with fine finishes at high feed rates independent of surface geometry construction methods. It provides equally spaced passes in both steep and shallow areas, and follows the natural shape of the machined area for a superior finish.
CORNER FINISHING
The flow cut cutting strategy enables you to semi-finish and finish uncut areas in a single operation. NX CAM automatically identifies the un -machined areas in corners and creates an efficient tool path. NX can also automatically generate different flow cut cutting patterns for steep and shallow areas to improve machining conditions.
SYNCHRONIZED POINT DISTRIBUTION
With Siemens NX CAM, you can ensure that data points on adjacent finish passes of the tool are properly aligned with synchronized point distribution. The consistent machine motion across the passes delivers superior surface finish compared to traditional cutting methods.
FEED RATE OPTIMIZATION
NX CAM Software can automatically analyze the cutting tool’s material removal rate and adjust feed rate to achieve uniform material removal rate.
The optimized federate can improve machining productivity and extend the tool life.
SAFE CUTTING STRATEGIES
Automatic collision detection for tools and holders ensures safe machining for even the most demanding part geometry.
NX CAM not only considers the part model geometry during the tool path creation, but it also takes into account the IPW. You can also select the optimum tools for your job by using NX’s capability to report minimum tool length based on the part geometry.

MILLING SOFTWARE FOR PRECISE, EFFICIENT MACHINING OF COMPLEX PARTS
The siemens NX CAM 5-axis milling software module in NX enables you to machine complex parts with fewer operations and setups – reducing cost and delivery times.
With NX CAM 5-axis milling, you can create precisely controlled tool paths on complex surfaces with effective collision and gouge checking.
Z-LEVEL WITH TILTED TOOLS
You can use shorter tools to machine deep areas with NX CAM 5-axis Z-level cutting. When necessary, NX automatically tilts the tool axis to prevent collisions with the tool holder. The reduced tool deflection results in reduced tool wear and better surface finish.
NX CAM 5-AXIS STREAMLINE
The smooth-flowing streamline strategy is an ideal cutting method for 5-axis high-speed machining (HSM). The flexible cut pattern can handle any surface geometry, regardless of construction methods. The streamline tool path follows the natural shape of the machined area for superior finish.
CONTOUR PROFILING
The variable-axis contour profiling automates the programming of machining features with complex drafted walls. You can quickly select the floor geometry, and then NX will recognize the drafted walls and generate the 5-axis tool path.
SWARF CUTTING
With the swarf cutting, you can keep the side of the tool aligned with the machined faces. NX also allows you to control the tilt of the cutting tool. This strategy improves the surface finish and reduces machining time.
3- TO 5-AXIS TOOL PATH CONVERSION
You can significantly improve productivity of mold and die machining by using multi-axis cutting. With the automatic tool-tilting in NX, you can efficiently machine molds and dies with deep cavities.
NX analyzes the tool path and automatically tilts the tool to avoid holder collisions. This 5-axis milling method enables you to use shorter tools to reduce vibration and tool deflection.
HIGH LEVELS OF USER CONTROL
NX CAM 5-axis milling software includes high levels of user-controlled multi-axis machining. You can control 5-axis tool motion with traditional drive, part and check surface specifications. These flexible options enable you to program virtually any complex part model.
MACHINE TOOL SIMULATION
The machine tool simulation in NX provides you with the essential tools for proving out 5-axis machine motion. The motion of the machine tool simulation is based on the NC output of the NX post processor. As the G-codes are processed, a 3D model of the machine – with the part, fixtures and tooling – moves in the way the real machine tool will move.
