High performance product design
NX™ can help you deliver greater innovation at higher quality and lower cost with comprehensive 3D product design.
With unmatched power, versatility and flexibility, NX™ gives your design teamsthe freedom to use the most productive approach for the task at hand. Designers can select wireframe, surface, solid parametric or direct modeling techniques with seamless interchange.
With the synchronous technology in NX™, you can create and edit geometry with unparalleled speed and ease, even using models created on other CAD systems.
NX™ includes powerful assembly design tools with performance and capacity that enable you to work interactively in the full assembly context, even with the most complex models. Assembly navigation, multi-CAD mockup, interference analysis, path planning and other engineering tools accelerate assembly design and improve quality.
For specialized design tasks, NX™ offers process-specific modeling tools thatoutperform general purpose CAD for sheet metal design, weld design and electrical and mechanical routing.
NX™ also offers design templates that help you accelerate design and standardize engineering processes. You can quickly create templates from existing models and easily re-use them for new designs. Templates can also include simulation, drafting, validation and other engineering best practices.
Integrated industrial design
With advanced freeform modeling, shape analysis, rendering and visualization tools, NX™ delivers all the capabilities of dedicated industrial design systems, and also offers complete integration with NX™ design, simulation and manufacturing.
NX™ freeform modeling gives you the power and creative flexibility to explorealternative design concepts quickly. A versatile, integrated toolset combines 2D, 3D, curve, surface, solid, parametric and synchronous modeling for fast and easy shape creation and editing. You can easily sculpt from basic shapes, or use reverse engineering to create concept models from physical objects.
Shape analysis and validation tools in NX™ help ensure the integrity, quality and manufacturability of your designs.
