CAD for NC programming
Quickly prepare 3D models and define job setups for numerical control (NC) programming using integrated computer-aided design (CAD) tools.Integrate part manufacturing using NX CAD/CAM
NX delivers comprehensive CAD/CAM solutions that streamline the entire manufacturing process—from digital part design and NC programming to the production of high-precision components—all within a single integrated platform.
Explore our advanced CAD tools designed to enhance NC programming efficiency:
Accelerate part model preparation
Leverage synchronous technology to directly modify 3D part models for NC programming by:
Closing holes and gaps
Copying or moving features
Offsetting faces
Resizing part features
These advanced design tools enable the creation of efficient toolpaths for machining high-quality parts.
Full associativity with the original CAD data ensures seamless implementation of design and process changes
Drive manufacturing processes using PMI
Capture all part manufacturing requirements with Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI), including geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), surface finish, and material specifications.
By leveraging PMI for automated NC programming, you can reduce programming time by up to 90%. PMI drives the selection of operations, tools, and machining tolerances—ensuring that all manufacturing requirements are accurately met
Leverage fully-integrated CAD tools
Quickly prepare and program parts with the latest CAD technology in NX, featuring tools to:
Read, repair, and modify CAD data
Design workpieces, blanks, and fixtures using solid and surface modeling
Build and reuse a library of standard components
Create associative engineering drawings with drafting tools
Define job setups through assembly and kinematics functions
Connect Manufacturing with Model-Driven Processes
Enable concurrent manufacturing by linking every function—from CAD and CAM to CNC machining and quality inspection—to a single, model-driven part definition.
Associativity ensures seamless management of engineering change orders (ECOs) and guarantees that the correct data is always used in production.
Digitally connect end-to-end part manufacturing processes within an integrated CAD/CAM system to increase efficiency and productivity.
