The Manufacturing Resource Library (MRL) is a Teamcenter application that provides classification and data management for manufacturing engineering resources. A typical use is as an advanced tool library where tool component and assembly data can be managed. Our solution provides powerful search, view and retrieval capabilities across a full classification system. NX CAM users have direct access to the library for tools, fixtures, templates and more.

Classify Tooling Data
The Manufacturing Resource Library helps you classify resources such as cutting tools using Teamcenter classification technology. This arranges the data into a hierarchy with classes and sub-classes.
For example, one class might cover all milling tools. Within each class, the system manages key characteristics such as tool length, cutting diameter, vendor and material, and you can search on these parameters. Our solution enables 2D/3D visualization of its content.
Create Tool Assemblies with Standard Components
The Manufacturing Resource Library is provided with a range of pre-loaded cutting tool data covering a range of standard components from a number of manufacturers.
You can create specific tool assemblies based on your shop requirements and add your own items to the library as needed.
Import Data from Tool Vendor Catalogs
The Manufacturing Resource Library is designed to enable you to import data from tooling vendor catalogs. The MRL intelligently maps the vendor’s tool classes and attributes to the matching fields of your component working area.
Any data can be imported, but the MRL has a standard mapping for the vendor-neutral Generic Tool Classification (GTC) standard 1.7, based on ISO 13399. With the vendor data in your system, you can populate your working library component and assembly areas with the tools your company uses.
Program Using Cutting Tools Managed in MRL
The Manufacturing Resource Library can be accessed directly from within NX CAM. NC programmers can search for and retrieve tools, fixtures, standard machining templates, and machine models using menus in NX that connect directly to the MRL.
MRL is designed to be flexible and scalable. For smaller installations, MRL Connect for NX enables NX CAM users to connect to a standalone installation of the MRL without using all the capabilities of Teamcenter. This provides a simple implementation for a cutting tool library with powerful search, view and retrieval capabilities across a full classification system.
