What’s new in NX for Manufacturing for your application (Dec 2025)

NX X MANUFACTURING
NX X Manufacturing transforms part programming and production with open solutions that connect with existing systems, maintain data continuity, and offer flexibility across both NX and NX X. This dedication extends to its refined data management: every seat includes optional, built-in base-level capabilities, seamlessly integrating with existing PDM systems like Teamcenter, or providing comprehensive coverage for new environments. This flexibility ensures users maintain control and options for data management on their terms. A significant AI-powered capability introduces ways to make CAM programmers more productive. The new AI Make Machining Suggestion (AI MMS) builds on the conventional chat-based copilot, helping to analyze machining operations and recommend optimized strategies that reduce manual effort, improve toolpath quality, and deliver consistent results.
PART MANUFACTURING COLLABORATION
Effective collaboration is essential for seamless manufacturing, and new features enhance communication and streamline processes from order to shop floor. Bridging the crucial gap between CAM programming and shop floor execution, the NX Manufacturing Viewer introduces interactive 3D manufacturing data directly to the shop floor. This standalone application significantly improves shop floor communication and efficiency, streamlining how vital manufacturing data is shared and consumed, ensuring clarity and precision where it matters most. To further streamline customer orders from quote to production, Order Management for NX X Manufacturing transforms how the entire customer order process is handled. This new capability provides a centralized hub to manage the complete customer order lifecycle, from initial request through production. It leverages automated cost calculation based on real machining times derived from NX X Manufacturing's detailed analysis, enabling faster, more accurate quoting and a streamlined order-to-production workflow.
MILLING
For higher precision, speed, and control in your milling operations, several key improvements have been introduced. Experience superior safety and accuracy with Advanced Corner Control in Multi-Axis Adaptive Roughing, ensuring precise curvature radius management for exceptionally secure corner machining. Boost productivity with Flow Mill Performance Acceleration, leveraging advanced multi-threading for notably faster tool path generation. Simplify your workflow with Enhanced Flow Mill Check Geometry Control, an intuitive improvement that streamlines tool path management along check boundaries. These powerful additions underscore our dedication to flexible, intelligent, and highly efficient solutions.
MACHINE POWERED PROGRAMMING
Machine Powered Programming delivers sophisticated capabilities for enhanced efficiency and precision. Real-Time Machine Axis Control allows you to interactively manage digital twins during programming, providing direct manipulation and immediate feedback for improved accuracy. Additionally, Integrated Work Holding Device Management streamlines fixture creation and programming workflows, simplifying complex setups. These and other practical enhancements enable you to program with greater control and efficiency.
PRODUCTIVITY
To optimize your daily workflow, innovative features have been designed to boost your productivity. Background Generate revolutionizes tool path generation by allowing you to work seamlessly while processes run in the background. Fixture Automation streamlines setup, transforming hours into minutes with intelligent, automated positioning. For clearer insights, IPW Edge Display enhances material removal visibility, simplifying identification. These intelligent additions empower you to work more efficiently, saving valuable time.
POSTPROCESSING
Postprocessing is refined with innovations designed for greater control and efficiency. The Variable Axis Tool Path Rotary Solution Selection now offers an improved management system, featuring a powerful new dialog for immediate, real-time visualization and direct modification of rotary axis angles within the tool path, eliminating the need to wait for simulation. Additionally, the NC Optimizer streamlines your workflow by enabling single-pass processing with enhanced control. It removes pretreatment runs, providing direct information access and dynamic tool path modification, ensuring optimal results faster.
