NCTune solutions and resources

CNC / CAM

Postprocessors for Siemens NX CAM, automation of repetitive programming work, and practical tools and knowledge for CNC programming.

Core CNC / CAM service

CAM output must match the actual machine.

The model and toolpath are only the beginning. The NC program must reflect the specific controller, machine kinematics, cycles and programming standard used in the plant.

We develop and modify Siemens NX CAM postprocessors. Acceptance is based on agreed reference cases and controlled verification of the generated code.

Custom solution

Repetitive CAM work does not always have to remain manual.

NCTune works with Siemens NX Open, Siemens NX journals and automation related to production preparation. The starting point is the programmer's actual workflow rather than a predefined package of features.

  • completing and structuring data,
  • reducing repetitive operations,
  • building focused tools that support CAM work.

Free practical value

Tools and knowledge for everyday work.

When a problem can be solved independently, start with a free resource. No account is required, and calculation data is not sent to the server.

Practical tools

CNC Toolbox

Calculators, generators and tools for analysing code and CNC/CAM topics — available directly in the browser.

Technical explanations

CNC knowledge base

Practical guidance on cutting parameters, feed rates, milling strategies and machining time — from the underlying relationships to informed control of the result.

What do you need?

Start with the requirement, not the service name.

Choose the direction that matches the problem you need to solve now.

Free resource

Toolbox

For solving one focused problem quickly or checking a calculation.

Custom solution

Engineering service

When the outcome must reflect a specific machine, process, CAM environment or company standard.

A concrete reference point

From process to a result that can be verified.

An engineering service addresses a specific environment, while a free tool returns a result for specific input data.

Knowledge base example

Cutter speed and feed

D = 10 mm · Vc = 180 m/minn ≈ 5730 rpm
fz = 0.05 mm · z = 4vf ≈ 1146 mm/min
