Knowledge-Driven Automation
Re-use of product and process knowledge across all elements and phases of product development

Engineering Process Management
Fully integrated, synchronized product data and process knowledge management
Tiers in the NX Mach Series
NX Mach Designer
This entry-level solution provides capabilities for creating and editing designs of typical mechanical components and assemblies, with solid modeling and drafting, basic free form modeling and sheet metal design.
It includes tools for design review, rapid prototyping, web publishing, validation checking, the new Smart Content Library and custom program execution. It also adds design-oriented stress and vibration analysis wizards.
NX Mach 1 Design
This solution delivers all the capabilities of NX Mach Designer, plus a managed environment powered by Teamcenter® software, with data management and visualization capabilities for product and process management.
NX Mach 2 Product Design
Mach 2 provides enhanced product design capabilities, including flexible printed circuit board design, validation checking, user-defined features, rendering and 3D annotation.
NX Mach 3 Product Design
Mach 3 provides the highest-performance solution with the entire range of NX design capabilities, including advanced assembly design and advanced free form modeling and surface analysis, design optimization and molded part validation.
