... styling product capabable of suitable automotive surfacing applications), is a parametric modelling package with CAM capabilities. NX is widely used throughout the engineering industry, especially in the automotive and aerospace sectors. This is due its ability do generate a model parametrically then transferring this into a CNC simulation program called Vericut, this is extremely important in the rapid prototyping stage of manufacture. NX's latest release NX 3 has had many interface updates with new icons and a new arrangement, but more importantly, individual tools work differently. NX 3 users can now dynamically drag when performing operations such as extruding and filleting, which speeds up conceptual design. Also, it's now easier to access other techniques for determining values, such as measuring an existing distance, picking a previously used dimension. This is extremely important in reverse engineering in particular. NX 3 could still be improved to help the modelling workflow. For instance, users can't ...
