Revolutionizing Product Development: Industrial 3D Printing for Rapid Market Entry and Customer Feedback

Industrial 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, has evolved beyond prototyping and small-batch production. With advances in technology, it's now feasible to use 3D printers for large-scale production, producing high-quality products at quantities sufficient for market entry.

How to perform motion simulation in NX

NX Motion Simulation is a CAE software application you can use to animate and analyze both kinematic and dynamic motion simulations in terms of critical design positions, forces, velocities, and accelerations.

Point Cloud in NX

In NX 1899 we can Reverse Engineer the scanned 3D point cloud data to convergent bodies using “Mesh from cloud” tool. A very handy and effective tool to work with organic and complex shapes in the additive manufacturing process.

A Baker’s Dozen of Tips and Tricks – Part 2

In this blog article, I will recap the second part of my annual Baker’s Dozen of Tips and Tricks, which was presented at recent Solid Edge Universities, in Toronto, Winnipeg and Red Deer. What follows is, the PowerPoint slides and links to videos showing what was demonstrated live, at the SEU events.

Tips to Improve the Performance of Solid Edge

We are regularly asked how to improve the performance of Solid Edge. The vast majority of performance issues can be improved by doing one of the following: a) Improve the performance of your computer b) Check your Solid Edge data for errors c)Take the Advanced Assembly course Let’s look at these different topics in some detail.

Creating Holes around a Tube in a Helical Pattern

Recently I had an interesting demo, where I was asked to model a tube with helically patterned holes. I was sure that we could do it, but I was surprised at the simplicity of it. But as I always say, everything is simple if you know what you are doing. Needless to say, the prospect was amazed at the speed with which we made his part and, I’m pleased to say, has become a customer. So, I thought I’d share this knowledge with our blog readers and I hope you find it beneficial.

What's New in Solid Edge 2019

Some of you may be asking “What happen to Solid Edge ST11?”. Siemens PLM has decided to adopt the year format, thus making the next release Solid Edge 2019. Products in the Solid Edge portfolio will also adopt this year format name change. For example, “Solid Edge Illustrations” will be named “Solid Edge Illustrations 2019”.
