What's new in NX June 2025

Explore the NX X Design solutions. Built on a common core set of capabilities, NX X Design Essentials, Standard, Advanced and Premium each add functionality to meet the needs of the most demanding design teams.

Each level delivers high-performance CAD capabilities and built-in data management in a cloud-native and SaaS environment. You can use the same data without translation across any level of NX X, and scale your NX X solution as your organization grows. 

And NX X is fully interoperable with all other Siemens Xcelerator software and can share data seamlessly to enhance collaboration and accelerate design and production cycles. 

Value-based licensing is a flexible, scalable, and cost-effective way to augment your NX capabilities with a wide range of advanced and specialist functionality. While NX X Value Based Licensing is not new in this release, many of the new features and capabilities available in this release are unlocked through token-licensing. With NX X Value Based Licensing, you unlock immediate access to new capabilities as they are released—no additional purchases, licenses or manual updates needed.

Simply purchase a pool of floating NX X Value Based Licensing tokens for your team, and start using a capability in NX to automatically check-out an add-on module for its token value. Once you close NX X or stop using the module, the add-on module is automatically checked back in and the tokens used return to your team's pool.

Create, view and edit 3D CAD designs like never before in virtual reality or augmented reality, with full access to the full NX workspace through both physical and virtual monitors.

You can either interact with the model directly with the hand-held controllers or use NX as normal and see your changes update instantly in AR or VR. Seamlessly switch between traditional and immersive engineering with a fully bidirectional extension of NX CAD into the virtual space.

Experience immersive design review at the next level, with NX Immersive Collaborator as you can collaborate in the same virtual reality space with your colleagues.

Start a collaboration session straight from the NX workspace in just a few clicks. A full range of design review tools let you measure, assess and annotate individual parts or entire assemblies.

Explore Immersive Engineering: Designed in exclusive collaboration with Siemens, the Sony XR head-mounted display and controllers are optimized specifically for 3D design.

Dual 4k micro-organic LED (OLED) displays mean unparalleled fidelity when viewing designs. Unique hand controllers allow for precise gesture control alongside mouse and keyboard inputs in hybrid workflows. Meticulous ergonomics let you work comfortably for longer while the flip-up visor allows for seamless multitasking and seamless transitions to and from the immersive experience.

Experience peace of mind to sketch more freely and naturally, knowing that NX can take care of geometric precision for you. The new Sketch Checker automatically checks a sketch for common ‘near miss’ issues, such as lines that are not quite parallel or curves that are not quite tangent. Issues appear both in the Graphics Window and the Sketch Navigator and NX can automatically correct issues with a single click.

Explore new commands within NX Realize Shape. The new Blend Curve on Surface and Chamfer Cage commands add even more flexibility to subdivision modeling in NX for creating complex and organic geometry.

Chamfer Cage gives you finer control over transition areas on a design by apply chamfers to the cage controlling a subdivision body. Blend Curve on Surface enables you to edit curves directly on the surface of a subdivision body for a quicker, more intuitive workflow.

Quickly see the impact of your changes as standard parts now update in real time as you set configurations. Design cooling systems better and faster through enhanced cooling channel design with intuitive direct channel creation.

Reduce the risk of failures and improve the quality of finished molded products with mold fill simulation. Mold cost reports are now compatible with more complex mold designs and you can generate detailed design for manufacturing reports to flag potential issues with stakeholders.

Get an even greater level of insight into your products’ performance under a variety of loads. Now, you can run mechanical stress analyses from NX Performance Predictor across entire assemblies as well as individual parts.
