Duration: 2 Days   |   Location: Portland, Oregon, or at your custom site

This custom course introduces basic and intermediate level applications of modeling, surfacing, and introduces Synchronous Modeling techniques with the emphasis on being able to create plastic molded components. This course is based on features and tasks designers and engineers face in their day-to-day work. Instructor-led portions are interspersed with project-style application learning along with Q&A. After attending this class you should be able to roll up your sleeves and start designing in NX with confidence.

Prerequisite: Prior understanding and experience with the fundamentals of solid modeling in NX10 and familiarity with lofting/surfacing/styling tools in another 3D parametric CAD package  (Pro/E, I-deas, Catia, Solidworks, etc

Cost: $1100 per user. (6 student maximum; Please contact us for group rates)
