Improve your multiaxis programming productivity by using contact curves. Contact curves are now available in NX1899. It is common in multiaxis programming for a surface to be machined in several operations, using different tools. Contact curves make it easy to determine where cleanup operations must extend to completely machine a surface, without wasting spindle time on overlap. For users of NX 11.02 and higher, Maya has created a Python macro to generate contact curves. Fill-up the form to download the macro.
