Topic of this week is new CAM operation in NX: Guiding Curves.

What makes Guiding Curves special? It’s that you don’t need to care about projection vector. Watch the video, and you will see how easy it is to create this operation!

You might already know 5axis version of it, because it was introduced before, but 3axis Guiding Curves which I will present today, is new in NX 12.0.2.

During this episode, I will walk through several use cases of Guiding Curves, showing you how it works on examples. And I will also compare it to other operations like Streamline and Contour Area. As I already mentioned Streamline: I’ve made entire video about Streamline operation. If you haven’t seen it yet, you should watch it:

Guiding Curves is very easy operation to use. Maybe not as easy as Contour Area, but quality of the tool path generated with Guiding Curves is incomparably better. And comparing to Streamline, Guiding Curves is so much easier to create. You can forget about figuring out every time which projection vector could give best results.
