NX CAM Express
If you don't use integrated NX CAD/CAM, then NX CAM Express is for you. NX CAM Express brings you all of the world-class 2.5, 3, 4 & 5 axis CAM capability, and the ability to use models from any CAD system, including Solid Edge, SolidWorks, Inventor and virtually any other CAD system.
Maximize the value of your latest machine tools with NX CAM
Shorter product development cycles are the primary driving force in manufacturing. Continuous innovation and change in designs require more and faster development of numerical control programs, molds, tools and dies required to manufacture the product.
The newest Plug-In (VoluMill) for NX CAM further extends NX's superior performance and return-on-investment for the roughing cycle process by dramatically reducing the roughing cycle times and extending tool life as much as 10 times. See the Plugins tab for details.
See how the latest, market-leading CAM software can help your company with:
- Effective programming for multi-function & 5-axis machines
- High speed machining techniques
- Automation of NC programming tasks
- Re-use of proven machining methods
- Automation of CMM programming

VoluMill NX CAM Plugin
- Reduce your roughing cycle times by up to 80%
- Reduce your programming times up to 50%
- Increase your cutting tools life uo to 500%
VoluMill Makes You Money!
VoluMill is all about the money! The money it saves you by extending your tool life 4-5 times or more, and the money it earns you by cutting the time taken for roughing cycles by 20-50% or more.
This break-through new technology is a must-have for any operation that does a significant amount of rough cutting/material removal. See the video tab for a short video demonstration of VoluMill at work, then check out a couple of the Case Studies for details on how VoluMill has substantially improved the bottom line at shops like yours.
NX CMM Inspection Programming
NX CMM Inspection Programming is an offline programming application that helps you program faster and more accurately by putting you within the context of a 3D solid model environment including the CMM machine, probing equipment and the part. Use this application to reduce programming time, visually validate CMM programs, free up expensive CMM machine resources, and respond to design changes rapidly.
Advanced Automated Programming
Reduce
inspection programming time by as much as 80% by using Product and
Manufacturing Information (PMI), including GD&T and 3D annotation,
that's presented intuitively on the CAD model to automatically generate
inspection programs.
Create highly accurate inspection programs
that account for all feature and tolerance requirements by programming
directly on the CAD model.
Production-Ready Output
Ensure
inspection programs are collision-free by validating with 3D CMM
simulation, and verify that programs match the intended measurement
strategy.
Generate postprocessed output, including the DMIS standard and machine-specific formats.
Work in the Context of an Integrated Solution
Rapidly
update inspection programs to design and manufacturing changes by using
the associativity between NX CAD, CAM and CMM applications.
Use
Teamcenter to manage your inspection data and processes, and ensure that
you are always working with the correct file version.
Easy to Deploy and Use
Ramp-up
to productivity faster and reduce training costs by using the
context-based inspection programming environment and on-line workflow
tutorials.
Minimize software and deployment costs by adding NX Inspection Programming to your existing Siemens PLM Software infrastructure.
