NX CAM, part of the Siemens NX software suite, is a powerful Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) solution used for programming CNC machines and automating manufacturing processes. NX CAM allows engineers and machinists to generate high-precision toolpaths for milling, turning, multi-axis machining, and additive manufacturing, bridging the gap between design and production.
NX CAM is widely used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, industrial machinery, and consumer products, where precision, efficiency, and complex machining are critical. Its integration with NX CAD enables a seamless workflow from design to manufacturing, supporting part modeling, simulation, toolpath generation, and verification in a single platform.
