Siemens and ModuleWorks are strengthening their long-standing partnership by bringing advanced physics-based toolpaths directly into the NX CAM environment.
The suite of ModuleWorks technologies is now available as plugins for NX CAM, via the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, including:
- VoluMill – Science-based roughing plugin designed to deliver faster cycle times, longer tool life and higher material removal rates across a wide range of materials.
- VoluTurn – An automated turning plugin that minimizes the need for manual CAD programming while reducing insert wear and preventing tool over-engagement.
- FeedControl – A universal toolpath optimization plugin that uses physics-based simulation to optimize feed rates based on material properties and machine characteristics for expert-level machining performance.
- MDES Exporter – A plugin for automatically generating standardized tooling, fixture and part data from Siemens NX, enabling seamless integration into simulation, collision avoidance systems (CAS) and digital manufacturing workflows via MDES.
The collaboration combines the power of Siemens NX CAM with ModuleWorks’ industry-leading machining technologies, enabling manufacturers to optimise machining processes through intelligent automation.
ModuleWorks CEO Dr. Yavuz Murtezaoglu, said: “For years, Siemens and ModuleWorks have worked side by side to deliver cutting-edge CAM technologies to manufacturers worldwide.
“With this new level of integration, users gain an end-to-end solution for process optimization, from high-performance roughing and turning to sophisticated feed rate control, all within the native NX CAM workflow.”
Corsin Buerer, director, Part Manufacturing Products and Partner Eco System, Siemens Digital Industries, added: “By integrating advanced roughing, turning, feed-rate optimisation and digital manufacturing technologies directly into NX CAM, we are enabling manufacturers to improve machining performance, enhancing programming workflows and accelerate their digital transformation journey.
“Together, Siemens and ModuleWorks continue to provide innovative solutions that help customers achieve greater productivity and manufacturing excellence.”
