Designed for End-to-End
Product Development
NX is Siemens’ flagship CAD/CAM platform built to accelerate product design, improve manufacturing accuracy, and enable digital continuity across teams. From mechanical and electrical design to CAM programming and additive manufacturing, NX brings robust tools into a single, scalable environment—available as a traditional license or cloud-connected subscription.

Key capabilities
Generative Design & Optimization
AI suggests optimal material layout for weight, stiffness and manufacturing constraints.
Integrated Simulation
Structural, thermal, flow and motion solvers drive decisions early when change is cheap.
MBE & PMI
Author model‑based definitions once; downstream apps consume a single, annotated master model.
Electrical‑Mechanical Convergence
NX CAM
Collaboration & Data Management
Native connection to Teamcenter in NX keeps global teams on one source of truth.

NX CAD

NX CAM
Program parts with integrated CAM. NX supports CNC, inspection, robotic control, and additive processes from the same platform.
