NX CAD Design, Drafting & Modeling Services

Professional Outsourced Siemens NX Services

Siemens NX is a popular CAD platform that handles 3D CAD really well, and has a pretty decent 2D CAD package. The best part about NX is how much is bundled into a single package. With their more expensive license, you can access built-in CAE, CAM, and PLM modules — having everything on the same platform can expedite your full engineering workflow.

However, NX is one of the more difficult CAD packages to learn. As you’re probably aware, assembling parts together can get tricky, and knowing the correct mouse clicks you need to do to make a part can be difficult.

Still, a lot of companies use NX as their go-to CAD program of choice. If you’re in this boat, then our team at CAD/CAM Services can help you.

Our team has access to and experience with all of the popular CAD programs on the market. We offer outsourced Siemens NX engineering services, meaning that we can handle all of your engineering projects for you.

What Are Siemens NX Services?

Siemens NX services involve hiring an outsourced engineering team to help you with a project, or multiple projects. With our NX services, we make all of the 2D and 3D CAD files directly in NX, without converting files from other CAD programs. This might seem insignificant, but it has a huge impact on the future functionality of every part.

Since we make native NX models, you get more data in each file. You’ll be able to access and change the design tree, leverage our parametric modeling, have material and texture information built-in, and assemble parts with ease.

Our outsourced NX engineering efforts are designed around your needs. Since you use Siemens NX on a daily basis, we want to make sure you get the most out of every model we make for you.

Why Siemens NX Services Matters

A lot of companies might offer outsourced NX services, but then they’ll trick you when the project starts. Instead of creating native files, other companies will simply use SolidWorks or Inventor to make the part, and then export it to a file that NX can open. Although this sounds okay in theory, it can lead to issues opening and using part files in the future, and it really limits how much you can change each file.

Instead, you should only work with an outsourced company that has full NX licenses, and plenty of training in this program — you’ll find that at CAD/CAM Services. We’re not looking to make a quick buck at your expense. We want you to receive 3D and 2D CAD files that are CAD Perfect® and exceed your expectations. All of our work is done natively in your CAD program of choice, and we will never cut corners or try to trick our customers. We have too much respect for that.

We also have industry experts on our payroll, which allows us to leverage their experience in specific projects that you might have. You don’t have to worry about shopping around for a SME, because we might already have one.

Access to NX professionals.

People on our team have been using NX since their first day engineering, so they know the intricacies and time-saving commands in the program. This makes every CAD file even better.

What Goes into Siemens NX Services from CAD/CAM Services?

Our outsourced NX engineering services are all about meeting your needs. If you need us to make a dozen parts, assemble them, and create realistic digital visuals of the assembly, then we can do it. If you just need a small 2D manufacturing drawing of a simple part, then we can handle that as well.

Every NX project starts with a consultation between your company and our experts at CAD/CAM Services. Simply tell us what you’re looking for and some specifics about your project. After a few signatures, then our team will get to work and start creating native NX files.

We can handle anything from simple 2D drawings to incredibly detailed 3D digital twins of entire production facilities. Once a drawing is done, we go through an internal quality check to make sure it’s perfect. Drawings are peer-reviewed by other expert engineers, redlined, corrected, and then reviewed by the project manager before they get sent your way.

All of our files will be sent to you digitally, using an encrypted filesharing service that the DoD trusts.

Our Siemens NX Services Include:

2D and 3D CAD Modeling
Creating 2D Manufacturing Drawings
Engineering, Drafting, Designing, and Iterative Designs
Assistance from Prototype Through Production

More About Siemens NX Services

We use the latest version of Siemens NX, but we can also open and adjust legacy drawings if you have any. Currently, we have the highest-tier license for NX, so we can also access their suite of dynamic simulations and more complicated tools. For many, this reason alone is enough to choose CAD/CAM Services, but we offer so much more. With our custom NX engineering services, you can pick and choose exactly how you’d like us to help expedite your project and keep your costs down.

FAQ's

General CAD Questions

How do I send a sample, in order to get a quote?

Fill out our quote form, attach your files, or simply send us an email. Tell everything about your project, like the model purpose.

For smaller files < 15 MB you can simply email them to us. For something larger, just drop them in any number of drop boxes like Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive and others. Or if you would like, just contact us for a private, hardened link.

It is fine to use most any time of compression such as *.zip, *.rar, *.tar, *.7z, *.arc, *.LBR, and even *.iso images.

A direct email is [email protected]

We also use a hardened OwnCloud web file sharing platform for unlimited file transfers. We provide unique and very private Web Storage Portals, this also supports file syncing for extreme convenience for you. Because so much of our work is DOD or weapons design work, Security – and confidentiality is very important to us.

Will CAD / CAM Services Sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)?

Yes. NDAs are a common part of our business. All data is yours – not ours, and treated as proprietary data and not for public consumption or use. Probably 70% of our work is under NDA agreements. We can generally get these signed within the day.

What is the estimated delivery time?

It depends on the scope of work:

2D drawings – small quantity, normally 48 hours. We have several customers where they contract to us, keeping 4-8 drafters busy full time.
3D models – complexity dependent, but smaller jobs in 2-3 days. Some models we have spent months on. Again, we have several customers where they contract to us, keeping 6-10 3D CAD designers busy full time.

Simple jobs have a lead time of 48 hours. Larger projects are delivered and invoiced weekly.

Did you really own the trademark Cad Perfect™, Cad Perfect CAD Conversions™ and Cad / Cam Services™?

Yes, we did back in 2008. We started using Cad Perfect™ back in the early 1990s because all of our customers wanted only real Cad Perfect™ work. Back then the buzz words were terms like machine ready, or DXF Traceover and others.

The problem is, nobody wanted that. They all wanted drawings and models that they did not have to touch. Everybody wanted drawings just as if they hand redrew the work themselves.

Thus, Cad / Cam Services™ was the first company to start offering ONLY Cad Perfect™ work.

Do you support the PPD-21 Directive?

Yes we do, and have now for several years. In addition, we also support the industry specific plans as well.

3D Modeling FAQs

How do you bill 3D CAD services tasks?

Per hour. Hourly rate depends on what CAD software used and typically starts at $75 per hour. In general, to make this process safer for you, we often provide you a fixed not to exceed the cost as well. That way, you are protected from an open-ended PO. However, the reality is our fees are based on time. In addition, services in say Catia or NX are more expensive than say Solidworks. Or, simulation services are commonly done by real engineers.

What do you need to give me accurate pricing?

First of all, we need to know the target CAD system and whether you have an existing template, or set of CAD standards for this project.

The main question is the overall complexity. As each part and assembly consists of different features and elements the best way is to provide us with an example. Again, a picture is worth a thousand words.

If you already have a model and need us to improve it or update it in any way we need to know which dimensions and features are critical and which can be modified to achieve your desired result. Even a before and after example works very well. We started with x, and got to this CAD file.

We can also offer you better options if you provide us with the purpose of your project (demonstration, 3D printing, FEA Simulation, CNC manufacturing, etc.). This helps us better refine the task.

How do you check your models?

We create 2D drawings from our 3D models for QC purposes. We follow aerospace standards and deliver ±.005” accuracy models for all projects. All of our QC is done by a different person than the designer. On Catia work, we often use Q-Checker for Airbus.

What is the minimum price for your 3D modeling services?

We have a minimum order fee $150.
