About AixPath
AixPath is a technology development company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Aachen. The company offers software solutions and software engineering services in the field of CAD and CAM for a wide range of manufacturing technologies, including metrology, fine machining, milling and additive manufacturing. AixPath is not tied to any specific manufacturing hardware and supports various multi-axis systems such as industrial robots, CNC machines, positioning tables and auxiliary axes. As an official technology partner of Siemens Digital Industry Software, the company develops plug-ins, OEM module integrations and adaptations for Siemens NX based on NX-Open integrations for CAD, CAM, ISV and post-processing. The service portfolio includes requirements analysis, software design, implementation, integration of new manufacturing technologies into existing software infrastructures, as well as maintenance and support. Research and development projects have produced solutions such as DentalJet (water jet milling of dental ceramics), GRINDBOT (robotic grinding of complex metal parts) and the Manufacturing Control Software MCSW.
