Generative AI Machining Suggestions

History-free AI-generated machining strategies with automatic creation of suitable tool definitions.

Cloud-based Manufacturing Platform

Full NX Manufacturing capabilities with local performance and cloud-connected services. Automatic updates, centralized licensing, and secure collaboration simplify deployment across the enterprise.

Teamcenter X Integration

Centralized CAM data management with complete traceability from programming to production.

Manufacturing Viewer with IPW Visualization

Interactive 3D visualization of the in-process workpiece enhances process understanding and quality assurance.

Turning Support in Manufacturing Viewer

Complete visualization and replay of turning operations, including toolpaths and machining information.

New CAM-Only Packages

Cost-effective CAM solutions without CAD functionality for organizations with separate design and manufacturing workflows.

Enhanced Planar Deburring

Expanded tool support and improved machining strategies enable faster, higher-quality deburring.

Background Toolpath Generation

Toolpaths are generated in the background, allowing uninterrupted programming.

Fixture Automation

Automatic fixture positioning reduces setup time and simplifies multi-setup programming.

Dedicated Chamfer Mill Tools

New front and back chamfer mill tools improve tool definition and machining simulation.

Enhanced Face Mill Zig Zag

Multiple faces can be machined in one operation, reducing programming effort and cycle time.

Adaptive Rough Turning

Native adaptive roughing for difficult-to-machine materials improves tool life and productivity.

Algorithmic Part Base Design

Optimized base geometry improves heat dissipation, reduces stress, and enhances build quality.

Per-Region Support Structures

Region-specific self-supporting angles reduce support material, print time, and post-processing.

Rotary Non-Cutting Moves

Continuous rotary motion replaces linear repositioning, reducing build time for cylindrical parts.

User-Defined Finish Pass Direction

User-controlled finish pass direction optimizes machine kinematics and improves deposition quality.

The big name update

Designcenter NX is now called Designcenter, while the cloud solution becomes Designcenter X. The new branding creates a unified platform across desktop and cloud environments.

Flexible licensing models

Designcenter X continues to offer four scalable tiers—Essentials, Standard, Advanced and Premium—allowing organizations to grow without changing data or workflows.

AI-powered productivity

Artificial Intelligence remains a core part of Designcenter. Existing AI features are now complemented by the new Designcenter Copilot for even smarter engineering workflows.

Designcenter Copilot

Designcenter Copilot provides context-aware assistance directly within the software. It delivers relevant answers based on the current task, remembers previous conversations, and offers intelligent engineering guidance.

Cloud Collaboration & Live Share

Live Share enables multiple users to work simultaneously on the same model in real time. New enhancements improve synchronization, user management, and collaboration in immersive environments.

Enhanced Navigation & Digital Thread

A redesigned application navigation makes it easier to switch between Designcenter applications, improving productivity and strengthening the digital thread experience.

Extended-Scale Modeling

Extended-Scale Modeling enables users to work with geometries ranging from nanometers to several kilometers, supporting everything from microelectronics to large infrastructure projects in one CAD environment.

Immersive Engineering

Immersive Engineering continues to evolve, providing more realistic product reviews and a stronger connection between design and manufacturing.

Immersive Manufacturing

Manufacturing processes and CAM simulations can now be reviewed directly in the immersive environment, allowing seamless transitions between desktop and virtual reality.

USD loading

USD (Universal Scene Description) files can now be loaded directly into immersive sessions, enabling improved visualization of simulation data such as STAR-CCM+.
