Applied CAx is proud to present a comprehensive yet fast-paced NX training program. With our Online NX Basic Modeling course, students with zero NX experience will learn how to perform many of the tasks required in the day-to-day work of 3D CAD design in as little as two days.
What is this course?
The content of this course guides students through designing a Rubik’s Cube in NX CAD. It utilizes many of the core commands that are available inside of NX and those that are used on a day-to-day basis.
It is a self-paced online course that focuses on “how to” and shows users steps to create the components that make up a Rubik’s Cube assembly.
With an intuitive and easy layout, this course is composed of short, step-by-step videos that are around one to two minutes long. Video size also makes it easy to scan through a video if a student misses something along the way. Additionally, each video is accompanied by step-by-step instructions with screenshots.
This allows students to quickly make progress with their CAD modeling and see results.
How much does it cost?
This course is affordable. A traditional five-day course usually costs about $2,500, and if it is in person at a non-local training facility, travel and lodging will drive that cost even higher.
However, for our course, we did not want cost to be a learning barrier. So, for $525, students get 30 days of exclusive online access to the course material and 60 minutes of individual mentoring, if needed.
What will you learn?
The topics in this course include sketching, creating reference geometry, and using modeling commands to create individual components.
From there, students will learn how to use constraints to position the components to create assemblies and how to document the product design for vendors and manufacturing.
The final project of the course is a real-life example. Students will need to make changes to the original models to correct some design issues and update the proper documentation to provide revisions to their vendors.
Who should take this course?
This class is designed for people with zero 3D CAD experience and beginner to intermediate users of different CAD systems who are interested in learning how to use Siemens NX.
Whether you are looking to change careers or just become more marketable in your role, this course has you covered.
Who designed this course?
This course was designed by Applied CAx Design and Manufacturing Application Engineer Scott Painter. He has been in the product design industry for over 28 years. Notable projects include designing consumer electronics with Motorola, automotive components at Ford Motor Company, aerospace structures at ATK Aerospace, and golf clubs at Callaway Golf.
From basic part design to complex surface modeling, Scott has seen it all.
During his time at Applied CAx, Scott focused on supporting users on the back end of the NX application. He helps them utilize software more effectively in their day-to-day work and implements training for new users.
While helping companies train in NX, Scott thought about what was missing in his own NX education.
Often, the classes were five days long and focused on a variety of parts from different industries. And the models that you worked on never created a full assembly. On top of that, the class pace was dictated by the slowest student in the course, and the course material would sometimes dive too deep into functionality and theory—not focusing enough on the “how-to” portion.
So, Scott created this self-paced training to improve the NX learning process for students.
Summary
Whether you are a new or intermediate user of NX, this course allows you to learn NX’s core functionality at your own pace with hands-on experience. Maximize your time and money by enrolling in this course.
