Cloud-Enhanced CAD/CAM Builds Accessibility, Operational Efficiencies

Siemens Digital Industries Software is introducing NX X Manufacturing software, a CAD/CAM solution for part manufacturing that is geared toward moldmakers. This technology, now accessible via the cloud, enhances operational efficiency for companies of all sizes. A key part of the Siemens Xcelerator as a Service cloud-based portfolio, NX X Manufacturing delivers software as-a-service (SaaS), enabling manufacturers to free up resources, so they can scale and innovate. According to the company use of the cloud ensures that manufacturers can access their CAD/CAM software anytime, anywhere, while maintaining the highest levels of data security and compliance.

The flexible and streamlined deployment models enable organizations to install NX X Manufacturing on the desktop or stream via AWS cloud services. Tailored to address specific production needs, NX X Manufacturing offers different solution levels based on user needs, backed by comprehensive CAD/CAM capabilities, including:

• Automated programming to cut programming time by up to 90%.
• Advanced toolpath technologies to reduce machining time and improve part quality.
• Integrated G-code-driven machining simulation for error-free machining.
• CAD capabilities for CAM programmers.

Additionally, NX X Manufacturing delivers cloud-based ad hoc data sharing and collaboration through the Teamcenter Share app. Siemens plans to include additive manufacturing and metrology capabilities to NX X Manufacturing along with fully integrated and secure data management using Teamcenter X software.
