Key NX CAD functionality

Mechanical Computer-Aided Design (MCAD)

Extend beyond design processes to all phases of product development. Use modeling approaches interchangeably- from explicit solid and surface modeling, to parametric and direct modeling, to facet-based modeling.

Electronic Computer-Aided Design (ECAD)

From machines to complete production lines, empower electrical engineers to design faster and with fewer errors by working on the same backbone as their mechanical and software peers.

Industry-specific CAD workflows

Automate the entire tool development process, including part design and detailed tooling design-workflow-based solutions for automotive, aerospace, marine, medical devices and more.

Automation design

Take a multi-disciplinary approach to machine design that breaks down barriers between electrical, mechanical and automation engineers-design higher-quality machines faster.


Flexible deployment options

Start with an NX X Mach for CAD package, then add a wide array of specialty CAD and CAD/CAM modules, as needed, using Siemens’ NX tokens value-based licensing.

To fit any workflow and revolving needs, most NX CAD capabilities are available on-demand through value-based packaging.

The open NX advantage

To provide optional extended engineering process management tools and expand the power of NX, NX X Mach 1, 2 and 3 for CAD include everything needed to integrate with Teamcenter and transfer data across the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of products.

NX X Mach: High-performance, pre-packaged solutions

All the design power you need, with total flexibility, in a secure, SaaS environment. NX X Mach for CAD offers full interoperability and data sharing across other Siemens Xcelerator solutions, including all NX CAD/CAM modules, to improve collaboration and accelerate production cycles.
