This software module, which comes from the USA, is an outstanding addition to NX CAM in the area of rough machining. It is fully integrated into NX and has an extremely high return on investment. This is due to a time saving of between 70-80% during machining, a 5-8x improvement in the tool service life and faster NC programming. This is achieved by optimised machining methods and an active chip thickness control together with coordinated cutting parameters that is patented, tried and tested.
