Product information
NX CAM provides comprehensive and integrated machining programming capabilities in a single system. This enables the use of consistent 3D models, data and processes for seamless connection from design to simulation to machining.
You can streamline and automate machining programming and reduce cycle times using powerful application-specific tools. From 3-axis milling to 5-axis simultaneous milling, turning, cutting and high volume production.
The birth of the advanced 5-axis manufacturing and machining solution NX CAM helps engineers master higher precision machining capabilities to meet many strict requirements for product quality and complexity as well as shorten machining time.
1. Application of multi-axis machining in production
Multi-axis machining is used for products with many cavities, turbine blades, detailed compression blades, aerospace products, automobiles, ships, etc.

For complex parts such as aerospace parts and turbine blades, it is necessary to create specialized, highly flexible toolpaths and a variety of tool axis control options that help cut to depth. larger, avoid machining collisions and increase machined surface quality.
2. NX CAM's power in multi-axis machining
Multiaxis Milling - Multiaxis Milling:
- Multiaxis Milling provides solutions for creating complex roughing and finishing milling tool paths that 2.5-axis and 3-axis machining methods cannot perform or take many more steps to perform.
- Special 5-axis roughing strategy with high speed - Multiaxis Roughing helps improve roughing surface quality, increase machining tool life and save money up to 60%.
- Multi-axis finishing strategies are also extremely flexible and suitable for many different surface types such as: Variable Axis Guiding Curves, Contour Profile, Generic Motion, Variable Streamline, Variable Contour, Sequential Mill, Zlevel 5axis,...
Milling blade profile - Mill Multi Blade:
Provides specialized tool paths for machining shaped parts for optimal cutting efficiency
Tube milling module:
Provides specialized tooling strategies for machining tubular parts. The created tool path will automatically calculate the tilt to be able to machine with the greatest depth, optimizing machining quality.
Simulation of multi-axis machining:
Nowadays, machining machine simulation is extremely necessary for complex multi-axis machining machines. It helps check machining residuals and control machining collisions that may occur. Machine simulation is also easy to build to suit many different types of machines and controllers.
In addition, the library of post processors - Post Hub with 1,500 different post processors also effectively supports the current processing process of businesses.
3. Manufacturing benefits with NX CAM multi-axis machining
- Manufacturing using NX CAM multi-axis machining reduces the number of setups resulting in improved quality while overall cycle times are shortened:
- Diverse tooling strategies compatible for many machining surfaces from simple to complex
- Automatic axis tilt tool makes it easy to transition to multi-axis milling in the Mold & Die arena, primarily 3-axis.
