Course Objectives:

This course is directed at the more experienced and advanced NC/CNC user that is interested in becoming more productive through the use of advanced customization techniques.

Students will learn how to:

• Create template files and to configure NX to output shop documentation for your lists of operations or cutting tools
• Be introduced to using Wizards and templates, and to the automated Feature Based Machining module, which will significantly decrease the time that you spend creating tool paths for features like holes, planar milling, lathe grooving and WEDM tool paths
• Use the Machine tool builder to construct a kinematic model of a machine tool and use it to verify operations and setups

Outcome

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to add new cutting tools, cutting tool materials, part materials, and new machining methods along with associated feeds and speeds to the manufacturing libraries.
