This course is designed to expedite the new NX CAM and CAM Express user to the basic manufacturing functions applicable to 2 ½ - 3-axis milling and drilling applications. This one class, through professional instruction related to basic NX CAM functionality, allows the student to transfer classroom instruction to job productivity.

At the completion of the NX Manufacturing Fundamentals class, the student will be able to generate tool paths for prismatic parts through the use of assembly modeling and the master model concept. The class introduces the concept of assembly modeling in the context of real work scenarios that include existing part models. These concepts and the subsequent generation of tool paths can be applied in the real world of product development and manufacturing collaboration. As with each course developed and taught by Siemens PLM Software professionals, this class reinforces Siemens PLM Software's intimate knowledge of software's developments and instructs the students based on the underlying principles incorporated within the NX product suite.

The NX Manufacturing Fundamentals class was designed to increase the productivity of the student, teaching the necessary skills to accomplish the following:

• Open and examine models
• Creat parent groups
• Create and modify assembly structures used in manufacturing
• Create cavity milling operations
• Use of the operation navigator
• Create face milling operations
• Creation of the proper machining environment
• Creation of tools used in various milling and drilling applications
• Create drilling operations
• Create planar milling operations
