Repeating things for decades doesn’t make them true. I can prove this pretty easily because, for 52 years now, people thought CAD was an acronym for computer-aided design.

In this article the author refers to the ability to programmatically automate machining with NX Feature Base Machining (FBM), which allows the programmer engineers to be able to perform a fast machining program and minimize repetitive tasks.

The 2020 release of Siemens’ mainstream 3D CAD tool enhances and improves a wide range of its capabilities. Some of the new functionality may even leave users wondering why other vendors don’t offer them as standard, as Al Dean reports

Integrate Vault, our highest-performance-level PDM solution, with Fusion Lifecycle, Autodesk’s cloud-based PLM solution, to enhance data management across the entire product development lifecycle.

Siemens NX provides a comprehensive powerful tool for the entire process of mold making and fabrication including: Molder variation (Draft, thickness distribution), mold structure design, Mold machining (CAM), automatic electrode design, and from Version NX8.5 allows integration of plastic injection simulation with Easy fill modules, with synchronous integration capability. Thus Siemens NX allows users to implement the entire process of designing and manufacturing molds on a single software platform interface thereby shortening time and cost.
