Tooling and fixture design
Design tooling and fixtures with advanced automation and process simulation capabilities to improve accuracy, efficiency, and manufacturability.Advanced Technologies to Improve Tooling
Development
Accelerate the creation of even the most complex tooling and fixture designs with the advanced automation capabilities
of NX software.
Discover the powerful design capabilities for tooling and fixtures:
Mold design
Accelerate the mold development process using advanced tools to validate part design, tool design and motion.
Configure the mold structure using libraries of standard parts, component systems and mold bases.
Advanced functionality, step-by-step guidance, and associativity with the part model ensure fast response to design changes and quality molds.
Progressive Die Design
Enhance productivity by automating time-consuming tasks and simplifying the complex processes involved in progressive die design.
Utilize a comprehensive solution tailored for both straight break and freeform sheet metal parts, while maintaining full associativity with the part design throughout every stage of development.
Stamping Die Design
Leverage advanced tools in NX to design automotive stamping dies, including formability analysis, die planning, die face design, detailed die structure design, and die validation.
The solution guides you through defining the complete manufacturing process for complex stamped parts, providing accurate representations of the press line and the evolving sheet metal shape at each stage of forming.
Electrode Design
Automate the entire Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) process — from design to production — with advanced capabilities that enable efficient modeling of even the most complex and challenging electrodes.
Benefit from fully associative electrode design, ensuring that any changes made to the core or cavity automatically update the corresponding electrode and machining processes, maintaining accuracy and consistency throughout the workflow.
Fixture Design
Accelerate the design of jigs and fixtures that remain fully associative with the 3D part model using advanced dynamic modeling and assembly tools.
Easily position fixture components with intuitive interactive assembly features, and automatically generate detailed drawings and documentation.
Simulate fixture kinematics-including open and closed positions-and perform strength and distortion analyses to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
