Siemens NX AM training:
3D Printing & NX Basics

Training objective

This practical course will enable you to perform CAD for an AM machine. After completing these 2 days of basic training in the Siemens NX environment, you will be able to adapt workpieces, while taking into account the principles of designing for AM and design guidelines. In the 3D Printing module (powder bed processes), you will learn how to independently create build jobs and make the configurations you need to pass to the printer. You will also use real-life components to practise the complete software process chain.

Course content

• Basics of Siemens NX (user interface, modelling: sketches and 3D, assembly functions)

• AM design and workpiece creation

• Handling of external data (import, diagnostics, preparation)

• Creation of build jobs (positioning, orientation, support generation)

• Printer configuration

• Data transfer to the AM machine/slicing

• Add-on: practical insights

Target group

Software users from various departments, e.g. design engineering/engineering/design, production planning or project management.

Further requirements

Participants require general knowledge of design engineering and basic IT skills.
