About the NX for Industrial Designer course

Siemens NX is a high-end CAD/CAM/CAE system used by automotive, aerospace, appliance and consumer product companies. Its Shape Studio tools, Realize Shape subdivision modelling and built-in rendering allow industrial designers to sculpt product forms and hand clean, high-quality surface data to engineering within the same software, avoiding conversions between separate styling and CAD packages.

This 60-hour course is dedicated to the styling side of NX. You get comfortable with the interface, Part Navigator and Shape Studio, trace concepts from raster images and build smooth studio splines. You then create and edit curves with bridge, offset, projection and X-form tools, and develop freeform surfaces using Through Curves, Through Curve Mesh, Studio Surface, N-sided and blend surfaces. Realize Shape teaches cage-based subdivision modelling for organic forms, while surface analysis covers G0, G1 and G2 continuity, reflection and draft checks. Finally you sew surfaces into solids, split a product into parts, render it with Ray Traced Studio and present a styled consumer product. Sessions are practical, in classrooms at CADD centres or live online, and lead to a CADD Training Centre certificate that is verifiable online.

Unlike NX for Design Engineer, which centres on parametric parts and assemblies, this course builds industrial designer, surface modeller and product styling engineer skills.

You will be able to

  • Build clean curves for styling using studio splines and curve tools
  • Create freeform surfaces with Through Curves, Curve Mesh and Studio Surface
  • Model organic product forms using NX Realize Shape
  • Check surface continuity with curvature combs and reflection analysis
  • Convert styled surfaces into solid parts ready for engineering
  • Render product visuals with materials, lighting and scenes
  • Present a styled consumer product design as a final project

Who it is for

  • Industrial and product design students
  • Mechanical students who want styling and surfacing skills
  • Designers in automotive, appliance and consumer product companies
  • NX users who want to move into freeform design

What you need

  • Basic computer skills and interest in product form
  • Basic 3D CAD knowledge helps; NX basics are covered at the start
  • For live online classes: a Windows PC with 16 GB RAM and a dedicated graphics card

NX for Industrial Designer course — FAQ

Is Siemens NX good for industrial design?

Yes. NX includes freeform curve and surface tools, subdivision modelling with Realize Shape and rendering, so industrial designers can style a product and hand clean data straight to engineering in the same system.

What will I learn in NX for Industrial Designer?

Curve building, freeform surfacing, Realize Shape subdivision modelling, surface quality analysis, turning surfaces into product parts and rendering, finishing with a styled product project.

What is the duration of the NX industrial design course?

The NX for Industrial Designer course is 60 hours long, with hands-on practice in every session.

Are NX industrial design classes held online?

Yes. NX for Industrial Designer is taught live online as well as in CADD Training Centre classrooms. Online, you build freeform surfaces on your PC while the trainer reviews surface quality with you.

Will I get a certificate for NX industrial design training?

You do. Finishing NX for Industrial Designer gives you a CADD Training Centre certificate, and because it can be verified online, a styling or product design team can trust it without calling the centre.

What jobs use NX surfacing skills?

Industrial designer, product styling engineer, surface modeller and concept designer roles in automotive, appliance and consumer product companies. Career guidance and placement support are provided.

What is the difference between NX for Design Engineer and NX for Industrial Designer?

The design engineer course focuses on parametric parts, assemblies and drawings, while the industrial designer course concentrates on freeform curves, styled surfaces, surface quality and rendering.
