Siemens NX for Mechanical Engineers

Siemens NX for Mechanical Engineers

Learn 3D CAD, Assembly, Drafting, Sheet Metal & Surface Modeling from Zero to Advanced with Practical Projects.

This course teaches you Siemens NX from the ground up. You start with the basics like opening files, navigating the interface, and sketching. Then you move into real engineering workflows like 3D modeling, sheet metal design, drafting, large assembly handling, and freeform surfacing.

Each module focuses on skills actually used in mechanical design, product development, tooling, manufacturing, and automotive/aerospace engineering.

You’ll also learn how to use ChatGPT as a design assistant for commands, workflows, troubleshooting, and design ideas, making your work faster and smarter.
