Delivers the most complete and fastest tooling process 'from design to production'

For many products, the design and manufacture of tooling needed to make them is on the critical path to a new product introduction cycle. This is especially true for industries where time-to-market is super-critical and the tooling creation element of the process is targeted to be measured in hours. Moreover, demand for higher quality products continues to increase and is directly related to the quality and design of the tooling.

UGS offers tool manufacturers proven solutions for today's design and manufacturing challenges.

Highly automated tool design

NX offers a powerful set of automated applications for mold and die design. These applications enable the complete task of moving from part design to finished tool 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 commands and functions. The applications guide the user through each step of the process, multiplying the capability and maximizing the productivity of every tool designer.

The NX applications for injection mold, progressive dies and stamping dies are built on the comprehensive NX design software. This means that the very best in modeling, assembly modeling and drafting technology is providing the foundation for these high-performance applications.

Delivering business efficiency

NX Tooling delivers a much higher level of business efficiency, leading to reduced cost, increased activity and higher margins. It helps achieve these results by developing effective tool designs faster and with fewer error and corrections.

Working with other systems

At the core of NX is the Parasolid modeling foundation, an industry standard in 3D modeling technology developed by UGS and widely used in CAD/CAM and CAE applications. This foundation provides unmatched compatibility for working with 3D data. In addition to reading Parasolid geometry, NX can use a wide range of data from other CAD systems in their native formats and translate a variety of other formats using data conversion tools. In fact, NX tool design applications can work with almost any type of 3D input data. NX makes it easy to build 3D models from 2D drawing data.

A complete and advanced 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.

Moreover, the tool designer, NC programmer and manufacturing engineer can begin work even before the product design is complete. For a complete and integrated process solution from tool design through manufacture, the UGS Advanced Tooling Solution combines NX Tooling, NX CAM, and Teamcenter applications into a unified environment.
