Dear All,


Anybody can explain something about NURBS machining and its pros/cons in NX4. Software as well as machine requirements etc.


I dont find the option under Machine Control. This need a seperate license?


Regards,


Ananth
 
Instead of positioning from one point to another NURBS are like cutting a spline in a single block of motion. The advantage is speed and improved surface finish.

Yes it is a separate license. You will also need a post processor that can give you the correct output along with a machine control that can interpolate NURBS.
 
Thanks John,


That was very helpul info indeed. If you have any sample nc file of NURBS machining, can you please share it with me?


Thanks a lot once again.
