CAD to VR

Enter VR mode with a single click—without the need for CAD data preparation or export—as NX Immersive Designer seamlessly integrates CAD to VR within the NX ecosystem. This not only saves your time but also improves overall workflow efficiency across your collaborative engineering teams.

The most natural way to experience a digital twin

Move beyond today’s limitations and create tomorrow’s innovations as you stand in the same space as your digital product. Visualize the entire process chain in a singular immersive environment before production begins.

no longer just imagination

Reach out and touch your designs

Leverage multiple virtual monitors

Supercharge your workstation and create multiple virtual monitors when working within NX Immersive Designer. Work simultaneously with a traditional keyboard and mouse.

Video see-through (VST) functionality

Exist, design and collaborate between worlds with the ability to view others while manipulating objects and design spaces. The VST feature brings virtual models into physical surroundings.

Immersive collaboration

Realize more effective product reviews and enhanced support for real-time collaboration within a shared immersive space. Achieve immediate input and validation from anywhere in the world.

Immersive engineering with NX X

Access the full immersive engineering power of NX through a cloud-based solution on any device, from anywhere.
