Accelerate innovation with high-performance design technology

Camera  View Demo

Increasing complexity of products, development processes and design teams is challenging companies to find new tools and methods to deliver greater innovation and higher quality at lower cost. Leading-edge technology from Siemens PLM software delivers greater power for today’s design challenge. From innovative Synchronous Technology that unites parametric and history-free modeling, to NX Active Mockup for multi-CAD assembly design, NX delivers breakthrough technology that sets new standards for speed, performance, and ease of use.

Leading-edge performance for design

A comprehensive mechanical design solution, NX lets you choose the tools and methodologies that best suit your design challenge, and work directly with design data from other CAD systems. A unique assembly design and mockup environment, process-specific design aids, drafting and 3D annotation help you work significantly faster than you would with general-purpose CAD tools.

Knowledge-enabled design

NX automates and simplifies design by leveraging the product and process knowledge that companies gain from experience and from industry best practices. It includes tools that designers can use to capture knowledge to automated repetitive tasks. The result is reduced cost and cycle time and improved quality.

Full-cycle productivity

With NX, efficiency and cost savings extend beyond the design process to all phases of product development. NX dynamically integrates CAD with planning, simulation, tooling, manufacturing and other processes to help ensure that design decisions can be made more quickly, with detailed knowledge of product performance and manufacturability issues.
