Transform scanned data into manufacturable parts faster

Modern automotive design requires tools that can handle complex shapes, scanned data, and design-for-manufacturing workflows—all in one place. This automated demo shows how our solution helps you move from raw 3D scan data to finished parts using advanced modeling, surface generation, and additive manufacturing tools in NX.

What you'll see in this on-demand demo:

Load scanned data and prepare geometry
Easily import STL data into NX, clean up geometry, and get it ready for further modeling. Detect primitives like cylinders and flat faces, then use color segmentation to guide geometry refinement.

Model mechanical details with precision
Align detected features concentrically and model key geometric details, such as functional faces and holes, while maintaining design intent and tolerance requirements.

Capture freeform surfaces with Realize Shape
Use intuitive sculpting tools to create smooth, organic surfaces where traditional CAD falls short. Integrate them seamlessly with solid geometry using convergent modeling.

Unite design and manufacturing workflows
Use generative design to optimize part structure for performance and weight. Finalize your model for additive manufacturing—all within the same environment.
