Productive Machines is transforming how manufacturers optimise machining processes by bringing physics-based intelligence directly into CAM. Through its easy-to-use NX CAM plug-in, SenseNC™, manufacturers can unlock the full potential of their toolpaths and move beyond traditional trial-and-error methods.
SenseNC™ uses advanced physics-based modelling and digital twin technology to evaluate millions of possible machining parameter combinations. By analysing cutting forces alongside the dynamic behaviour of each specific machine tool assembly, the software autonomously determines optimal feed rates and spindle speeds at every point along the toolpath.
This enables manufacturers to reduce machining costs, shorten cycle times and increase overall production capacity — while also improving part quality and process stability. Instead of relying on conservative settings or time-consuming testing, engineers can make confident, data-driven decisions directly within their familiar NX CAM environment.
By embedding a machine-specific digital twin into the CAM workflow, SenseNC™ brings deeper insight into how machining strategies perform in the real world. The result is a smarter, more efficient process that helps teams maximise productivity from existing equipment and tooling.
