I currently run NX6 (3D modeling, drafting & MFG programming), I have NX7 & NX7.5 sitting on the shelf, I don't like skipping versions since I did that once before and regretted it. Normally when I'm too busy I won't upgrade but, I now have some time to make the switch . . . should I go straight...
I want to rough out a boss on a part, I can manually program the 3 axis move with G02 or G03 & X, Y & Z move and it works fine. . . I cant get NX to do this? ? ? the work around I did was create a helix and told the tool path to follow this, but its giving me points verses circular moves.
I'm having a nightmare turning this Material (Hast B) without getting the "Orange Peel" effect. Does anyone have any Magical explanation on how to reduce the visual effect of this orange peel? Perhaps SFM or tools?
Every time I create A new turning program I'm always creating new everything; New tools, New op, etc. It wasn't a problem until now where I'm a lot busier and time in an issue. I'm trying to take short cuts now by creating tools and saving them in the tool but I now have to edit some and I...
I have been working at my current job for a little over 7yrs. now working as a Mfg./Process Engineer. When I got there all I had was some irrelevant experience and a 2yr. Degree. I also continued school part time to finish my B.S. in the same field (4 classes left).
I sometimes feel like I'm...
One of our customers require that we don't break the edge prior to F.P.I on a hole therefore we must drill a burr less hole??? I came across Orbital drilling but have yet have enough information to use has anyone done it?
I have exhausted the entire CAST training that NX comes with and before I go train at the UGS site I wanted to pick up some additional training on my own. I came across the "I get It" website and they provide an "NX Training Bundle" has anyone used it and how does it different from the NX CAST...
I curently use unigraphics for lathes & milling programming, I'm starting to get into more complex 5-axis milling. I was told Surfcam is a better/easier to use software for complex milling prog. can anyone relate?
