“Pencil Milling” is the name given to a machining strategy where a small-diameter ball end mill is used to perform finish milling in small nooks and crannies of a complex mold or die. The word …
In my last post, I showed several wrong ways to machine steep and non-steep geometry. In this post, I will show a method that is better.
NX CAM can scrutinize a model and determine…
Elon Musk and SpaceX believe that there’s a better and faster way to turn ideas in your mind into virtual models and then into real parts. And they’ve integrated various technologies (including NX) i…
If you really want to scare an NC programmer, just show them a deep, narrow cavity on your latest design, and then comment that you must have a mirror-like surface finish at the bottom. …
In NX CAM we refer to a specific set of machining instructions as an operation. For example, finish-milling a planar face would be one operation. To spotdrill, drill, and bore a hole requ…
