NX CAD for Manufacturing
An integrated software solution for digitally planning, programming, and executing part manufacturing processes from design to production.
Contact UsNX for Manufacturing provides a unified digital environment to connect design engineering with shop floor operations. By leveraging a single, model-driven data source, manufacturers can streamline NC programming, automate robotics, and integrate quality control to accelerate production cycles and ensure process traceability.
A Unified, Model-Driven Manufacturing Environment
NX establishes a direct connection between product design and production execution. By utilizing the master 3D model and associated Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI), teams can eliminate data translations, reduce errors, and ensure that shop floor operations are always synchronized with the latest design intent.
Advanced NC Programming and Machining Simulation
Generate and validate optimized toolpaths for a wide range of CNC machinery, from 2.5-axis milling to complex multi-axis and mill-turn operations. The integrated simulation capabilities allow for the verification of machining processes, detecting potential collisions and errors before production begins, which minimizes machine downtime and material waste.
Automated Tooling and Fixture Design
Accelerate the design of complex molds, dies, and fixtures using process-specific applications. Automated workflows and validation tools streamline the creation of manufacturing equipment, ensuring manufacturability and reducing lead times for production tooling.
Robotics and Workcell Automation
Program and simulate industrial robots for a variety of manufacturing tasks, including machining, material handling, and assembly. NX enables offline programming of robotic paths, optimizing motion to reduce cycle times and improve the consistency of automated operations within a complete digital twin of the workcell.
Integrated Quality Control and Inspection
Automate the generation of CMM inspection programs directly from the 3D model and its embedded PMI tolerances. This closed-loop process connects design specifications to quality verification, enabling systematic data collection and analysis to maintain tight tolerances and improve process control.
