Manufacturing components in multiple setups often requires a programmer to provide an in-process workpiece to represent the partially cut condition to the next setup. This Tech Tip shows how to:



  • Let NX CAM calculate the partially cut workpiece model at the end of one NC setup

  • Reference a previous setup’s calculated in-process condition as the starting blank for a subsequent setup

  • Reference in-process conditions from with the same part file or even from an external part file

I've been focused on PLM CAM software, in one way or another, since 1992, which sounds like a very long time. I've written posts, done implementation and training, served as a product manager, and as a marketer. It has all been fun and I've met a lot of interesting people and seen a lot of interesting machine shops.
