Siemens NX Tooling PLM Software

Service Details

NX Tooling: NX delivers advanced automation, process simulation and integrated technology to improve productivity and ensure first-time quality intooling development.   The demand for speed: Tool design and manufacture is on the critical path for the development of many products.The demand for much  shorter product delivery times, faster turnaround on  design enhancements, lower supplier costs and increasing global competition have dramatic impacts on the toolmaking business.     The need for skills: The complexity of tool design and manufacture traditionally requires highly skilled people applying knowl-edge learned over years of practice. These resources are difficult to obtain or replace. Companies can gain com-petitive advantage by effectively leveraging specialized, best-practice knowledge in tooling development.   Improving quality: Quality of the end product depends directly on high-quality tooling. To achieve quality, tool designers and manufacturers must integrate their work with the product development effort. By dynamically linking tooling designs with product designs, compa-nies can automatically propagate design changes to production tooling, achieving first-time quality.   Reducing waste: To achieve speed and cost objectives, tool designers and manufacturers must eliminate wasted time, effort and resources – not only between product development and tooling development, but also throughout the tooling design, optimization and manufacturing process.   Transforming the process: NX™ software from Siemens PLM Software is a next-generation solution that transforms the tooling development process with advanced automation. Knowledge-driven applica-tions for tooling design and manu-facturing are fully integrated with the overall product development process in a managed environment that improves productivity, accelerates the process, reduces waste and cost and improves quality.   The NX Tooling advantage A complete solution: With NX, tool designers can share the same software environment as product and part designers and NC programmers. This enables the overall process to be faster and more efficient. Changes can be implemented more easily and with fewer errors. Wasteful re-entry of data is eliminated and multiple users can share the same 3D data. The tool designer, NC pro-grammer and manufacturing engineer can begin work even before the prod-uct design is complete.   Highly automated tool design: NX offers a powerful set of automated applications for mold and die design.These applications enable the user to complete the task of moving from part design to finished tool design in far less time than with the use of traditional CAD applications.   Maximizing productivity: Mold and die tool design in NX is driven by the knowledge of experienced designers built into the functions. The applications guide the user through each step of the process, multiplying the capability and maximizing the productivity of every tool designer.
