NX CAD industrial design software

Evaluate the analytical and visual quality of complex shapes with the real-time analysis functions of NX. The real-time graphical displays accelerate evaluation and help guide modifications to improve shape quality.

Use advanced functions to extend the freeform toolset to include synchronous sculpting of surfaces and solids with unique history-based class A methods. For exterior and interior class A surfaces, use pole manipulation and surface alignment tools to get full control and real-time analysis of surface quality.

Develop freeform designs using any combination of modeling techniques from a broad toolset with NX hybrid modeling.

• Create conceptual layouts quickly from raster images or CAD sketches, using curves and sections to extrude, loft, revolve and extend the geometry
• Create surfaces from meshes of curves
• Use parametric, feature-based design tools to build details with advanced features like styled blends
• Edit faces with synchronous freeform modeling, sculpting solids by moving iso-parameter curves and poles with push-and-pull simplicity

Combine facets, surface and solids in one model without converting data by using the first technology of its kind, Convergent Modeling. It allows facet data to now be an equal part of the design process.

Easily import and optimize scanned data. NX directly imports polygon facet data acquired by scanning physical objects. It allows you to bring the scanned data in as facets, so there's no need to map surfaces, create solids or do any other manual shape creation. You can easily scan your parts into CAD and immediately begin building supports for 3D printing.
