What do you like best about NX CAM?

Integration with all applications that work with 3D models (CAD, CAE, ROBOTIC..., PDM).Its shift for some time towards a smart, yet easy-to-use system. A complete CAM system covering turning, prismatic, freeform, robotic to multi-axis milling, as well as wedm and Additive manufacturing. A true digital twin, by taking the machine used in the workshop into account as early as possible. Maintaining version compatibility since the first version: customer data continuity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NX CAM?

There are still some types of machining that can be carried out using several modules. This can be a good thing, but in these few cases, the programmer may not be sure of using the module best suited to his case. SIEMENS, by creating dedicated modules rather than general-purpose modules that meet a wide range of needs, eliminates this problem and simplifies the programmer's life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NX CAM solving and how is that benefiting you?

Support our customers' needs, taking into account new manufacturing strategies brought to market by our customers' suppliers (cutting tools, machine tools, new technologies such as additive manufacturing). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Yolanda Dong of NX CAM

Franck, we're glad to hear that you appreciate the integration and ease of use of NX CAM. We understand your concern about the multiple modules for machining and will take this feedback into consideration for future improvements.

What do you like best about NX CAM?

The ease of the graphical interface for developers who are just starting out in the process of interacting with CAM software, is a more than representative value when it comes to minimizing the respective learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NX CAM?

In part, the minimum resources required for the installation of this type of platform will always be a very relevant item which is not only contrary to CAM platforms such as these, but also appreciable for the many existing solutions on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NX CAM solving and how is that benefiting you?

The imminent possibility with which the software platform can integrate 2D/D CAD developments and then generate the corresponding G-codes to be used on CNC machines is the most representative problem that it solves when it comes to its integration within an industrial manufacturing structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Yolanda Dong of NX CAM

Luis, the integration of 2D/D CAD developments and generation of G-codes for CNC machines is indeed a key benefit of NX CAM for industrial manufacturing. We're pleased to hear that it's solving this problem for you.
