What’s new in Siemens NX for manufacturing (December 2024) – Siemens NX Design Blog
The latest version of NX for manufacturing is packed with the latest features and updates designed to transform the way you manufacture parts.
Each new release of NX for Manufacturing introduces new features and enhancements that boost productivity, improve usability, and streamline your workflows. These updates consistently bring advanced tools that reduce manual programming, saving you valuable time and costs.
Let’s explore some of the highlights from this release.
What’s new in NX CAM
The latest version of NX CAM includes automation enhancements and machine-powered programming, enabling faster programming, greater efficiency, and improved part quality.
AUTOMATION
The latest release introduces advanced automation enhancements, including Make Machining Suggestions for optimized toolpath creation and Automatic Holemaking, which leverages Feature-Based Machining (FBM) to optimize hole programming with enhanced efficiency.
Make Machining Suggestions
Create a complete machining process for a feature with just a click on a component’s face. The latest Make Machining Suggestion feature in NX CAM simplifies toolpath creation, automatically suggesting pre-defined machining processes with an optimized sequence of operations. For example, by selecting the floor face of a pocket you can automatically program the entire pocket using multiple operations and tools.
Additionally, capture your preferences and offer suggestions for future use, helping you program faster, while enabling higher standardization.
Automatic Hole Machining
Holemaking now includes enhanced automation capabilities. The newly introduced Automatic Holemaking feature allows you to fully utilize the power of Feature-Based Machining (FBM) when programming holes. You can select one or multiple faces with holes and NX automatically detects all holes of various sizes and complexities, groups them, and creates optimized toolpaths to effectively machine them.
MILLING
The latest NX for Manufacturing Milling enhancements deliver greater precision and efficiency with features like Planar Deburring for better region control, enhanced Plunge Milling and Roughing with user-defined clearance planes, and advanced finishing capabilities, including reverse toolpath support and optimized stock handling.
Planar Deburring – Region Start Point support
Plunge Milling – Inherit Automatic Plane Clearance
3D Adaptive Roughing and Quick Roughing – User Defined Clearance Plane
Wall Finish Barrel Swarf – Support Reverse Toolpath and Max Cut Step
Support Floor Stock Same As Part Stock – Facing MidPass, Facing ZigZag
MACHINE POWERED PROGRAMMING
In the latest release, explore how Machine-Powered Programming (MPP) integrates machine tool capabilities for optimized toolpaths, especially in complex, multi-axis operations. With features like Machine Setup Configurator, Magazine and Turret Support, and Instant Machine Preview, programming and setup are streamlined for maximum productivity.
