Siemens NX 2506 Build 6002
Computer-aided Design (CAD)
The latest updates to NX for Design introduce powerful capabilities across modeling, collaboration, and validation workflows, designed to enhance design efficiency and innovation.
-Immersive Engineeringenables real-time VR collaboration through NX X Immersive Collaborator. You can launch sessions directly from your design workspace to review assemblies or individual parts with comprehensive measurement, markup, and assessment tools-creating a more intuitive design experience.
-NX X Copilotleverages artificial intelligence to provide contextual design insights and technical guidance through natural language interaction, seamlessly integrated within the workspace.
-Live Share, a new simultaneous engineering tool available through value-based licensing, enables multiple users to co-edit the same part, enhancing team efficiency.
-CFD Designer, built on Simcenter FLOEFD technology, integrates fluid and thermal simulation directly into the design phase. Engineers are now able to make more informed decisions earlier in the development process, reducing costly late-stage modifications.
-NX Inspectoradvances the connection between design and manufacturing by providing sophisticated characteristic definition capabilities. This tool streamlines quality control and production workflows, ensuring design intent is accurately translated to manufacturing processes.
Computer-aided Manufacturing (CAM)
The latest updates to NX for Manufacturing introduce powerful enhancements across NX CAM and On-Machine Probing, designed to boost programming speed, efficiency, and control.
-Machine Powered Programmingnow offers intelligent automation that simplifies toolpath creation, considering the CNC machine kinematics. Built-in visual guidance and predefined settings help avoid any possible collisions and ensure optimized machining, especially for complex operations.
-NX CAM App Hubprovides easy access to third-party apps directly from NX CAM. Fully compatible with the last four NX CAM releases, it enables you to expand your capabilities with specialized apps, enhancing your productivity.
-Facing Spiral Operationenables smooth cutting strategy for planar faces using circular and morphed spiral patterns. Advanced options such as pattern containment, floor stock, and overhang control, along with a real-time preview, enable instant feedback for faster programming.
-2D Wall Profiling Operationintroduces a simplified interface for quick and intuitive toolpath generation. Essential controls and immediate path updates accelerate programming, making it easier to create high-quality toolpaths.
-On-Machine Probing Machine Cycle Managerprovides a graphical interface to create, configure, and manage custom probing cycles. You can build encrypted or tailored cycles, define presets, and access reference materials-streamlining setup across various machine controls.
NX X Manufacturing, the cloud-based CAD/CAM solution that leverages SaaS capabilities, includes these important updates:
-Built-in Data Managementstreamlines cloud-based data management, including check-in and check-out control and full revision tracking. Where-used indicators reveal dependencies between design parts and CAM setups, while integrated discussion threads and task assignments enable real-time collaboration between design and manufacturing teams.
-NX X Manufacturing Essentialsis a new tier that provides the ability to open and review manufacturing data and planning details. Engineers can view part models, manufacturing operations, and toolpaths.
Additive Manufacturing
In NX 2506, the Siemens commitment to driving additive manufacturing forward continues. Here are some of the enhancements that extend our additive manufacturing capabilities and help you save time and money.
-Fixed Plane Additivenow includes a pre-print Slice Area Distribution checker that helps identify and report potential print quality issues prior to printing, which avoids wasting valuable time and material. In addition, NX offers a brand new Build Processor that generates output for the Farsoon industrial level Metal and Polymer Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) systems. The output of the new Farsoon Build Processor can be loaded directly into the MakeStar® software that runs on the machine, thus significantly reducing the time from part to print.
-Multi-Axis Additiveincludes a significant enhancement to the Freeform Thin Wall operations by offering multiple bead offsets in a single operation in combination with either an along-drive surface method or a morph-across-drive surface method. This can now be accomplished without the need to model multiple offset faces, thus saving substantial programming time. In addition, Multi-Axis Additive now also provides a length-based extension to the build style framework that allows you to capture and control machine-specific and material-specific process parameters, known as the secret sauce for individual segments of a multi-axis additive operation. This gives you automatic access to best manufacturing practices, such as a higher feed rate on short stepover motion and a lower feed rate on longer stepover motion, without the need for extensive trial and error prints, thus saving valuable time and material.
Our additive manufacturing solutions continue to evolve and grow as we strive to meet the requirements of our customers for their use of this exciting new technology.
