Sadly I can not attend the launch, but would like to know if it is worth to send someone.
Who can tell us quickly what this "NX CAM EXPRESS" is.
For that matter - what does 'cad/cam' mean? (for those who are to sceared to ask.)

Hi Buddy,
This may or may not sound new to you, but Solid Edge and NX CAM Express belongs to the same suite of products which is the Velocity Series. The Velocity Series of products include the following:
- Solid Edge (CAD)
- NX CAM Express (CAM)
- Femap (CAE)
- Teamcenter Express (PDM)
The complete suite of products (listed above) enables the full cycle of a digital product development. To explain in simple words, Solid Edge is the Computer Aided Design (CAD) solution for your 3D product design, NX CAM Express is the Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) solution for your workshop simulations and actual NC program outputs, Femap as a Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) solution to analyse your 3D designs for operatability & reliability and finally the Teamcenter Express as a Product Data Management (PDM) solution to manage the entire product development cycle from conceptual to product retirement. Hope all of you will have a better understanding now.
For NX CAM Express, it is a new standalone CAD neutral NC programming system taken from it's big brother Unigraphics NX CAM to complement the Velocity Series. Previously before the Velocity Series, because there is no integrated CAM solution in Solid Edge, users often look to NX CAM and other CAM competitors. Hence, to strengthen UGS presence in the mid-market, the Velocity Series suite of products was launched in 2004.
