What\u2019s new in NX X Manufacturing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nNX now offers a cloud-based software-as-a-service solution with NX X Manufacturing<\/a>, transforming how part manufacturers collaborate, manage, and access software efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s simple to deploy and install on your devices, with flexible access\u2014offline on a desktop or streamed remotely to suit your workflow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With software updates taken care of by Siemens, manufacturers like you can focus on what matters most: making high-quality parts and bringing them to market faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NX X Manufacturing is available in 4 different products tiers- Essentials<\/a>, Standard<\/a>, Advanced<\/a>, Premium<\/a> with the flexibility to expand capabilities through floating NX X Manufacturing Value-Based Licensing Add-ons<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nWe have introduced a host of new NX X Manufacturing enhancements, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- AI-powered machining suggestions with\u00a0automatic feature recognition and automated process generation to accelerate programming.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Immersive 3D manufacturing data review for faster, clearer decision-making across stakeholders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- A simpler way to manage the customer-order process, connecting quote-to-production information seamlessly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- New UI improvements that make everyday work more intuitive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Two new applications:\n
\n- NX Manufacturing Viewer for interactive visualization that bridges CAM programming and the shopfloor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- NX X Manufacturing Connect\u00a0for sharing manufacturing data with colleagues who do not need full NX X Manufacturing access.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nNX Manufacturing Viewer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nSharing CAM data through PDFs or paper documents can be challenging. It is slow, prone to errors, and often difficult for shop floor operators to interpret. That\u2019s why we are excited to introduce the NX Manufacturing Viewer, a standalone application that brings interactive visualization of manufacturing data directly to the shop floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NX Manufacturing Viewer <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nCAM programmers with access to the fully integrated NX Manufacturing Viewer Extractor can easily create machining instructions for the shop floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All manufacturing data can be exported in a simple and efficient way. The Manufacturing Viewer Extractor is available under the File > Export<\/strong> tab. With a single click, all relevant CAM data can be exported into an .nxmv file, including details such as part numbers, material information, and additional comments for the shop floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou can share the .nxmv file with shop floor operators. By opening the .nxmv file in NX Manufacturing Viewer<\/strong>, they can access interactive 3D manufacturing data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nShop floor operators can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- View parts in interactive 3D<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Access tool and operation details<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Perform real-time measurements<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Explore dynamic section views<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
With NX Manufacturing Viewer, shop floor operators get the right information every time. This allows them to reduce errors, save time, streamline workflows, and produce higher-quality parts, bridging the gap between CAM programming and shop floor execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nNX X Manufacturing Connect<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nNot all stakeholders in your team may need the full NX X Manufacturing software, but many\u2014such as quality engineers, shop floor supervisors, program managers, and clients<\/strong> still require access to part manufacturing data. Without this access, reviewing toolpaths, understanding manufacturing intent, and providing feedback can be slow and lead to errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are introducing NX X Manufacturing Connect<\/strong>, a part manufacturing data access application<\/strong> that allows these users to access the NX X Manufacturing Viewer<\/strong> and consume manufacturing data directly, without requiring a full installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Viewer functionality can be extended with NX X Manufacturing tokens<\/strong> to unlock additional capabilities tailored to specific needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nUsers can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Review toolpaths and operation sequences<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Understand manufacturing intent<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Provide feedback on parts and processes<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Access data without a full NX X Manufacturing installation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
This enables organizations to expand access cost-effectively, improve collaboration across teams, and leverage existing NX X Manufacturing subscriptions<\/strong>, ensuring correct and up-to-date data is available to all stakeholders who need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nOrder Management for NX X Manufacturing<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nThe new Orders Management for NX X Manufacturing<\/a><\/strong> simplifies the entire customer order process, from quote to production. It provides a centralized hub where customer requests, quotes, and orders flow seamlessly, replacing manual and disconnected workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou can automate quote preparation using real machining times, simulate machining processes for accurate cost calculations, and keep sales, engineering, and shop floor teams aligned with the same data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immersive Explorer and Collaborate<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nWe have introduced two new features that transform how manufacturing data is reviewed, shared, and collaborated on in immersive 3D environments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n- Immersive Explorer<\/strong> brings manufacturing data to life, replacing static 2D drawings and standard 3D models. Shop floor supervisors, engineers, and clients can understand manufacturing intent, validate setups, and provide feedback\u2014without programming skills.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Immersive Explorer Collaborate<\/strong> enables teams to review toolpaths and manufacturing logic together in the same virtual space. Real-time collaboration is intuitive and efficient, reducing errors, accelerating decision-making, and keeping everyone aligned throughout the production process.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Admin Console UI update<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nWe have made a significant enhancement to the Admin Console to make administration faster and easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group-Based User Management: Users can now be organized into logical groups, and rules, policies, and configurations applied to entire groups at once. Instead of managing each user individually, groups such as \u201cManufacturing Engineers\u201d or \u201cShop Floor Operators\u201d can be defined, with settings applied collectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nActive vs Inactive users<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nWe have introduced a smarter approach to user management that provides greater flexibility. Users can now be flagged as active or inactive: active users can sign in and count toward the subscription, while inactive users do not. T<\/p>\n\n\n\n
his allows you to manage more users without purchasing additional licenses, giving flexible control over access and licensing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
