NX Capabilities

Design, Simulate and Manufacture with Siemens NX

Siemens NX connects product design, engineering validation and manufacturing workflows in one scalable environment, helping engineering teams develop high-quality products from concept through production.

AS

Assembly Design

Develop and manage products ranging from small assemblies to large and highly complex engineering systems.

  • Top-down and bottom-up design
  • Assembly constraints
  • Interference detection
  • Clearance analysis
  • Advanced assembly arrangements
ID

Industrial and Freeform Design

Develop visually attractive and functional product forms while maintaining engineering accuracy.

  • Freeform surface modelling
  • Class-A surface development
  • Subdivision modelling

  • Moulded-part validation
CAM

Integrated Manufacturing

Plan, programme and validate manufacturing processes within the same digital product environment.

  • CNC milling and turning
  • Multi-axis machining
  • Toolpath simulation
  • Additive manufacturing
  • Robotics and quality inspection
PMI

Model-Based Definition

Communicate complete manufacturing information through an intelligent 3D product definition.

Integrated Digital Workflow

One Environment from Product Concept to Production

NX reduces the need to transfer engineering data between disconnected applications. Designers, simulation engineers and manufacturing teams can work with a consistent digital product definition throughout the development process.

01
Concept Capture ideas through sketches, industrial design and conceptual modelling.
02
Design Develop detailed parts, assemblies and complete mechanical systems.
03
Validate Analyse product performance and identify design issues before production.
04
Manufacture Create, simulate and optimise manufacturing and machining processes.

Business Benefits of NX

An integrated product-development environment helps reduce engineering effort, improve collaboration and deliver products to market more efficiently.

Faster Product Development

Reuse engineering data and automate repetitive design activities.

Improved Design Quality

Validate designs earlier and reduce costly manufacturing changes.

Better Collaboration

Connect design, simulation, manufacturing and product data teams.

Scalable Capabilities

Expand NX functionality according to project and business requirements.
