Siemens PLM Software is now testing NX for Mac OS X
Siemens PLM Software is pleased to announce that customer tests are about to begin for NX 6 on Mac OS X. For the first time, Mac users will be able to take advantage of a full-featured CAD solution. The Mac has long set the standard for design and innovation in the personal computer market, making it a perfect fit for NX and Teamcenter. NX for Mac OS X will be demonstrated at PLM World in June, and it is scheduled to be released soon after that.
NX 6, which is already available for Windows and Linux, is a solution that transforms the entire product development process to reduce waste and design in quality. A key innovation in NX 6 is Design Freedom powered by Synchronous Technology, which combines the best of history-based and history-free modeling to allow even inexperienced users to modify 3D models directly without needing to know how the models were created. NX 6 also features a state of the art, fully customizable user interface and a wide selection of knowledge-based design tools that allow users to capture, manage, share and apply company knowledge.
NX for the Mac will run on any current 64-bit Intel-based Mac with Mac OS X 10.5.5 or later and it supports all available graphic subsets. It will include CAD, CAM, assemblies, and drafting. Siemens PLM already has many customers signed up to test NX for Mac OS X. Interested NX customers can contact Tom Spangler at tom.spangler@siemens.com.
