Reverse Engineering for CAD
Reduce the time required to develop CAD models from physical objects with NX. You can scan your data and immediately begin building supports for 3D printing, creating molds based on the shape, including it in an assembly, analyzing it, or performing any other operation that you would do with CAD data.
NX Progressive Die Design
Our solution guides you through all of the stages required to design a progressive die, automating the most tedious tasks and streamlining complex processes. Our software for progressive die design is a comprehensive solution for both straight break and freeform sheet metal parts. You can design the complete die structure with associativity to the part design at every stage.
Freeform Shape Modeling
NX features an extensive set of freeform design tools that are useful in all product development disciplines and processes, from concept through manufacturing. The freeform design tools include capabilities for creating solid models using loft, sweep and mesh techniques, surface trimming and extension, surface transitions and advanced filleting.
Advanced Shape Analysis
Evaluate the analytical and visual quality of complex shapes with the real-time analysis functions of NX. The real-time graphical displays accelerate evaluation and help guide modifications to improve shape quality.
Class A
Advanced functions extend the freeform toolset to include synchronous sculpting of surfaces and solids with a unique history-based class A methods. For exterior and interior Class A surfaces, we provide pole manipulation and surface alignment tools while giving you full control and real-time analysis of surface quality.
Exchanging Data with other CAD systems
synchronous technology helps you to directly use models created with other CAD systems. You can import and modify geometry from any source with speed.
Be Efficient & Flexible
NX design tools are superior in power, versatility, and productivity. Work faster and more efficiently in the full range of design tasks, from 2D layout through 3D modeling, assembly design, drafting, and documentation.
Design complex products with ease
Use NX assembly design tools for the most complex assemblies: thousands of parts. Also create full multi-CAD digital mockups to quickly identify issues and resolve problems.
Reduce development time: +30%
With NX CAD breakthrough technologies, efficient interaction and streamlined workflows, NX design tools help you accomplish design tasks much more quickly than with other CAD systems.
NX CAM
Program any job using one software. NX CAM provides comprehensive and integrated NC programming capabilities in a single system. This enables the use of consistent 3D models, data and processes to seamlessly connect planning and shop floor operations with a digital thread.
You can streamline and automate NC programming, while reducing cycle time, using powerful, application-specific tools. From 2.5-axis machining and mold manufacturing, to simultaneous 5-axis milling and high-volume production, NX allows you to use one CAM software to make better parts faster.
Mold, Die & Electrode Machining
Make better molds, dies, and electrodes using a single software system. NX CAM advanced capabilities for high-speed machining, automated rest milling, and smooth finishing methods help you produce high-quality tooling faster.
You can further reduce lead time and improve quality using specialized, easy-to-use five-axis machining capabilities for mold and die machining.
Using the digital twin of your machine setup, you can validate the machining process to eliminate errors on the shop floor.
Complex Parts Machining
With 5-axis machining, you can produce complex parts with fewer operations and setups – reducing cost and delivery times. NX CAM’s 5-axis capabilities allow you to create precisely controlled tool paths to effectively machine complicated geometries.
The software’s application-specific capabilities can dramatically simplify programming of the most complex parts, such as impellers, blisks, and engine ports. You can create optimized operations and eliminate errors in production by visualizing multi-axis toolpath characteristics.
Prismatic Parts Machining
Quickly create optimized NC programs for prismatic parts with minimum input. Automated capabilities in NX CAM, including volume-based milling and feature-based machining help you reduce programming time by up to 90 percent.
To drive the latest multi-function machines, capable of producing complete parts in one setup, you can synchronize, visualize and optimize machining sequences across many channels.
For higher volume production machining, NX helps you program multiple parts over multiple setups and machines.
Postprocessing & Machining Simulation
Generate NC programs for a wide range of CNC machine tools with NX’s integrated postprocessor. The machine-ready NC programs enable you to increase machine tool utilization and overall production efficiency.
Leverage the digital twin of your machines and entire production lines to validate operations before you start the production. By using the integrated G-code-driven machine simulation in NX CAM you can optimize manufacturing processes and eliminate errors on the shop floor.
