The movement toward digital part manufacturing is part of a trend toward connecting all steps of the manufacturing process--from planning to production--with a single source of information, a so-called digital thread. By taking advantage of digitalization, manufacturers can embrace automation to achieve greater efficiency, reduced time to delivery and better production results. Here's what NX 12 offers to enable digitalization: "Transformative technologies like additive manufacturing and advanced robotics offer tremendous potential for manufacturers of all sizes to gain an advantage in today's competitive market," said Siemens' Zvi Feuer. "NX provides a fully integrated solution for part manufacturers to utilize these powerful technologies, creating the ability to improve overall business performance and helping to create a truly digital machine shop."
