Product Design

The most powerful, flexible, and innovative product development solution in the industry, NX for Design has the features, performance, and capabilities to help you get product to market faster than ever before.
NX for Design enables you to deliver products “right to market, first time” using more virtual product models and fewer, more costly, physical prototypes. This leads to market gains, lower development costs, and improved product quality.

With the industry’s most powerful and versatile CAD modeling tools, NX enables you to freely use any modeling approach that fits your design challenge and get innovative products to market faster.
NX combines wireframe, surface, solid, parametric, and direct modeling in a single modeling software solution that allows you to choose the best tool for the task at-hand. In addition, Convergent Modeling technology in NX gives you the ability to combine these approaches with faceted-based modeling without the need for data conversion.

Additive manufacturing is changing the way products are designed as well as how they are manufactured.
NX is an integrated platform that meets the unique challenges of designing, optimizing, and building metal and plastic components using the latest additive manufacturing methods. Breakthrough technology delivers advanced methods for designing lightweight parts, while design validation checkers ensure manufacturability.

Deliver greater innovation and higher quality at lower cost. With NX you can use the most productive modelling approaches interchangeably – from explicit solid and surface modelling to parametric and direct modelling, along with facet-based modelling.

Quickly and easily create engineering drawings from 3D models using highly efficient drafting tools. The drafting software automatically creates drawing views from 3D part and assembly models, and helps you align and scale drawing views and arrange drawing sheets. Comprehensive annotation tools document your drawings with manufacturing requirements. Advanced change tracking reduces drawing checking time and eliminates errors. NX products include powerful and productive capabilities for 2D design, layout, drafting, annotation and documentation that are ideally suited for 2D, hybrid 2D/3D and 3D design environment.

Innovative product design is a well thought-out combination of form, fit and function that leaves customers with a positive experience each time they use a product. Distinctive design and styling gives companies a competitive advantage. Design is the key differentiator in most of today’s industries. Of course, the design must not only be visually appealing, but it must be functional, manufacturable and affordable to build, support and maintain.
NX products deliver flexible, robust computer-aided industrial design and styling software that accelerates your product engineering by providing fast concept designs that can be directly used in modelling.

NX digital product development solutions include an integrated suite of tools that facilitate the entire design process for routed systems, including wire harnesses, cables, piping, tubing, conduit and raceways.
These process-specific tools reduce detailed design time, improve product quality and transfer product information seamlessly between the logical design, physical design, analysis, manufacturing and service sectors.

NX products enable a wholistic engineering of production systems from mechanical concept through to complete PLC code. Discover a whole new level of collaboration with a toolset that enables a complete machine and plant design workflow, providing the highest level of design quality in the shortest time possible. Automation Designer offers a one-of-a-kind engineering toolset, designed from the ground up to enable controls engineers to complete their work with the highest efficiency, quality and speed possible.
Electrical and automation engineers work on the same backbone, with an integrated data model, saving time and eliminating errors. Directly integrate mechanical engineering data and receive updates, improving collaboration across your organization. Integrated systems also improve the quality of engineering results, while increasing efficiency by combining mechatronic models of existing designs and rule-based engineering to eliminate non-value added work. This, combined with NX virtual commissioning capabilities, makes the complete process from concept to reality faster than ever before.

NX products enable a multi-disciplinary approach to machine design that breaks down barriers between electrical, mechanical, and automation engineers. We continue to revolutionize the machine design process by helping you design faster with higher quality. Mechatronics Concept Designer provides an end-to-end solution that enables multi-discipline collaboration, re-using of existing knowledge, reduced time-to-market, and better decision making through concept to production evaluation.
