Machining time estimation, NX CAM software, productivityAbstract
Machining time estimation plays an important role in manufacturing process planning and scheduling. The
estimation of machining time is of important because it provides manufacturing engineers with information to accurately
predict the productivity of CNC machine. Many industries facing the problem of lagging in production schedule in this
competitive market due to lack of efficient and effective time estimation. Therefore in this review paper we aims to study
the various methods for time estimation during the design and development stage. NX CAM software is nowadays used
for estimating the machining time. NX CAM software delivers a complete and proven system for machine tool
programming. NX CAM software considers machine characteristics, geometry process information and other factors to
estimate the machining time.
