Key features of NX X Essentials
Accelerate design with AI-based modeling and automated drawings
NX X Essentials accelerates your design process with AI-predictive modeling and automated 2D drawing creation—perfect for quoting, manufacturing and fixture design. You can create, edit, share, view and markup NX models from any device, and can also import CAD models from other CAD systems, including Solid Edge, SolidWorks, Inventor and Creo. NX X Essentials boasts seamless data interoperability which ensures that you can make changes on site and share seamlessly with other instances of NX X Essentials back at the primary workstation.
Enhance design with designer-focused CAM and CAE tools
NX X Essentials equips teams with designer-focused manufacturing and simulation tools to optimize design and production workflows. Its browser-based access simplifies CAM programming for 2.5-axis operations, enabling you to create quick adjustments, toolpath simulation and controller customization from anywhere. Using simulation tools validates material choices and mechanical performance early in the process, with instant visual results like stress and displacement shown directly on 3D models. By integrating cloud-powered, designer-friendly capabilities, NX X Essentials reduces your time-to-market, improves product quality and enhances collaboration across teams.
Share and collaborate from anywhere at any time, from any device
NX X Essentials enables seamless, real-time collaboration across teams and your customers with secure cloud storage, live updates and permission-based sharing. Accessible on any device, NX X Essentials supports CAD viewing, markup and augmented reality (AR) for inspecting designs in real-world contexts. Task management tools, interactive dashboards and Kanban boards simplify project tracking, while multi-user overwrite protection and 500 GB of storage ensures data integrity. Integrated with Teamcenter Share, NX X Essentials enhances collaboration, scalability and visibility across the entire design and manufacturing process.
