Geometric Limited announced the availability of a new version 4.0 of its automated design for manufacturability solution, DFMPro for NX™ software which it says
delivers enhanced design flexibility with newly added support for additive manufacturing, tubing and sand casting processes. NX, developed by Siemens’ product lifecycle management (PLM) software business, is an integrated 3D computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering analysis (CAD/CAM/CAE) software.With v4.0, NX users can gain access to the introductory additive manufacturing suite on request. In addition, it further strengthens the rules for existing modules such as, milling, assembly and injection molding aimed at reducing rework, improving manufacturing time, reducing inventory and preventing assembly problems.“The powerful manufacturability analysis capability provided by DFMPro efficiently leverages, complements and augments Check-Mate, an automated, customizable NX tool providing geometry, drafting and standards validation within the CAD user environment,” said Jim Rusk, Senior Vice President, Siemens PLM Software. The new version of DFMPro provides NX users greater flexibility to design products using multiple processes, including additive manufacturing, while ensuring that they get their designs right the first time.
