NX CAD for Manufacturing optimizes machining, robotics, 3D printing, inspection, and tooling with integrated CAM software and model-driven workflows.
NX CAD for Manufacturing connects design to the shop floor with integrated CAM, CAD, and robotics workflows. It enables manufacturers to digitally plan, simulate, and execute part production using a model-driven, data-rich environment. This solution helps reduce lead times, lower production costs, and increase part quality across CNC machining, 3D printing, and quality control operations.
Digitally transform production with a complete suite for part manufacturing. NX allows teams to program, simulate, and optimize manufacturing processes within a single platform – accelerating time to production while improving consistency and traceability.
Use CAD-integrated CAM software to prepare 3D models for manufacturing. Define job setups, simulate machining, and reduce rework through product and manufacturing information (PMI). NX allows engineers to go from design to toolpath seamlessly, shortening preparation time and improving first-time-right manufacturing.
NX accelerates complex mold, die, and fixture creation. Use process-based design tools to automate mold design, stamping dies, and electrode development. Collaborate more effectively through NX Mold Connect for shared RFQs, manufacturability checks, and cost estimation – ideal for injection molding workflows.
Program robots for part machining, pick-and-place, and full workcell automation. NX improves robotic path planning, helps reduce cycle times, and enhances consistency in multi-axis operations, giving teams more flexibility on the production floor.
Digitally manage quality using integrated coordinate measuring machine (CMM) inspection programming. NX enables seamless data collection, shop floor execution, and analysis of measured results – delivering tighter tolerances and fewer quality issues.
Plan assembly and machining lines in parallel with design using guided workflows. NX simplifies industrial line setup, press line configuration, and automation integration to create synchronized, scalable production systems.
