NX X Manufacturing Value Based Licensing

The NX X Manufacturing Chat Co-Pilot is an intelligent assistant that supports NC programmers by helping them navigate NX software and resolve domain-specific queries. It streamlines workflows, reduces programming time, and boosts overall productivity on the shop floor.

Available through Value-Based Licensing for both NX X Manufacturing and NX X Design, the Co-Pilot integrates seamlessly within the NX interface. It provides contextual guidance, documentation links, and related insights. Easily activated through the search bar, it’s an invaluable tool for enhancing efficiency in programming and simulation tasks.

Turbomachinery Milling streamlines NC programming for complex multi-bladed components such as blisks and impellers. Advanced 5-axis roughing and automated rest milling efficiently remove material between blades, while specialized finishing strategies for hubs, blades, and splitters utilize optimized cut patterns, toolpath smoothing, and tool-axis stabilization to ensure superior surface quality.

NX CAM Robotics Programming enables precise multi-axis robot programming for operations like trimming, deburring, and polishing. Robots can also be programmed for pick-and-place applications—including machine tending and tool loading—supporting efficient, unattended manufacturing.

Machine Line Planner enhances high-volume production of complex, feature-rich parts by allowing users to program, balance, distribute, and simulate operations across multiple setups and machines for optimal efficiency and throughput.

Achieve error-free machining with G-code–driven simulation that visualizes actual machine motion based on NC code output. The full 3D machine model—including the part, fixtures, and tooling—moves exactly as it will on the shop floor, ensuring precise verification before production.

With Sinumerik Collision Avoidance, potential collisions are continuously monitored in real time, improving operator safety and minimizing downtime. Running machine simulations directly within the programming environment provides instant access to critical information—eliminating the need for separate simulation software.

Generate machine-specific Computer Numerical Control (CNC) programs using Smart Machine Kit Solutions (SMKS)—comprehensive, preconfigured packages that include production-ready machine tools and postprocessors. SMKS are available through Post Hub, a modern cloud-based platform for streamlined postprocessing.

The Post Configurator enables you to create and customize postprocessors to meet your specific requirements, ensuring accurate generation of machine-specific NC programs.

Unlock the full potential of Synchronous Modeling, which provides powerful tools for directly editing solid faces, enabling flexible design changes and rapid modifications. This capability helps programmers quickly prepare part models for NC programming and accelerates the development of as-cast models.

Capture Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI)—including geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), surface finishes, and material specifications—to define manufacturing requirements. PMI can also be leveraged in Feature-Based Machining to further automate the programming workflow.

Generate precise 2D engineering drawings that remain fully associative with your part models. Features include automatic view creation, hidden line processing, and automated parts lists, while templates streamline the generation of borders and layouts for consistent documentation.

Accelerate fixed-plane additive manufacturing with NX AM Fixed-Plane solutions, supporting technologies like powder bed, jetting, MJF, and FFF.

Set up your build tray, create basic supports, and manage builds with the integrated build processor framework. Prepare and edit models using NX CAD tools, including synchronous modeling, and assemble multi-part designs for printing.

Enhance productivity with advanced support geometries such as gusset, contour, web, cone, volume, and custom supports.

Achieve simultaneous 5-axis AM path planning for robots and machine tools, combining additive and subtractive operations in a single, efficient setup.

Optimize and validate multi-axis machining with digital twin–powered simulation, and maximize output with modular CNC systems controlling up to 93 axes across 30 channels.
