Integrate in-house manufacturing into your product development process with **3D**EXPERIENCE® Works Manufacturing. Manufacturing roles enable you to streamline communication between departments to optimize manufacturability. Have full visibility at any phase – from ERP to the shop floor – and accelerate your product release cycle. In this demo, watch how you can seamlessly bridge from design to manufacturing, starting with NC Shop Programmer. This solution can easily enable your CNC programmer to create error free NC Programs dedicated to 3-axis mills.

### Execute Robot Programs without Interruption
