Siemens NX is an integrated engineering software platform used for product design, engineering, simulation and manufacturing. We both supply NX licences and train people to use them.

Yes. Our Siemens NX CAD/CAM programme covers both design and manufacturing workflows.

3D modelling, drafting, assembly design, advanced surfacing and related design workflows.

CAM programming is included as part of the Siemens NX CAD/CAM programme. Ask us for the current batch syllabus for the exact machining modules and strategies.

Yes. 3D modelling is a core part of the Siemens NX CAD/CAM course.

Yes. Drafting is included in the course.

Yes. Assembly design is included in the course.

Yes. The course covers advanced surfacing.

Yes. CNC programming and CAM workflows are part of what we teach.

We do teach 3-axis machining, but in the PowerMill programme rather than the NX one. If 3-axis is your priority, ask us and we will point you at the right course.

No. The Siemens NX course does not cover 5-axis machining.

Engineering students, mechanical engineers, designers, manufacturing professionals and company teams looking to build skills in product design and manufacturing.

Yes. Beginners can learn NX through structured training, provided the course level is chosen to match their educational and technical background.

Approximately 180 days for the full Siemens NX CAD/CAM programme.

The Siemens NX CAD/CAM programme starts from ₹40,000. Fees vary with centre, batch and the modules you need, so contact us for a figure for your case.

Yes. We are an authorized partner and supply Siemens NX licences, along with installation, configuration and training.

Yes. We run customised corporate training for companies and manufacturing organisations.

Yes. We provide NX customization support.

Yes. We provide NX CAM postprocessor support.

CAD/CAM stands for computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing. CAD is used to create and modify engineering designs; CAM turns that design data into manufacturing toolpaths and CNC programs.

CAD focuses on designing and documenting products and components. CAM uses that digital design information to plan and generate manufacturing processes such as CNC machining.

CNC programming is the process of creating the instructions that control CNC machine tools — tool movements, cutting parameters and machining operations.

Yes. CNC programming is one of our core training areas.

Machining where the cutting tool moves simultaneously in two linear axes, while the third axis is used mainly for positioning between machining levels.

Machining that uses three linear axes — typically X, Y and Z — to position and move the cutting tool relative to the workpiece.

Machining where the tool and/or workpiece can be positioned using five degrees of freedom, which allows complex geometries to be cut and improves tool access.

3-axis gives three linear degrees of movement; 5-axis adds two rotational ones. Five-axis provides better access to complex surfaces and can reduce the number of setups needed.

There is no single answer. The right choice depends on the type of mould, machine configuration, geometry, postprocessor requirements, machining strategy and your existing workflow. We can help you evaluate the options against your own jobs.

Yes. PowerMill is one of our course offerings, and it is where we cover 3-axis machining.

Yes. Fusion 360 is one of our course offerings.

Yes. Our courses are hands-on, with project-based assessments and practical CAM workflows.

Yes. G-code and M-code are both taught.

Yes. Toolpath optimization is part of the CNC programming course.

Yes. Our VMC Operating course runs approximately 30 days, starts from ₹11,800, and covers machine controls, work and tool offsets, tooling, 3-axis machining, reading G-code and M-code at the control, and running a job safely.

Yes. 3-axis machining — X, Y and Z moving together — is the core of the course, covering facing, pocketing, drilling, tapping, slotting and contouring.

Operators and trainees going onto a VMC for the first time, ITI and diploma students who want a shop-floor skill quickly, CAD/CAM students who want to see their toolpaths actually cut, and company teams needing a short refresher.

Yes. We take on VMC job work including milling, drilling, tapping, slotting and contouring, for prototypes, dies, moulds and production parts.

Yes. SolidWorks is one of our course offerings.

Yes. Moldex3D is the leading CAE platform for plastic injection moulding, and we supply it as an authorized reseller with installation and training. It simulates filling, packing, cooling and warpage so mould problems are found on screen rather than during trials.

It shows how plastic will actually behave in your mould before it is cut — short shots, weld lines, air traps, sink marks and warpage. That means fewer trials, better gate and runner decisions, and cooling layouts tuned for cycle time. It connects to mainstream CAD systems, so it fits the workflow you already run.

Yes. We supply both BricsCAD and ZWCAD licences and provide training on them.

It depends on the type of engineering work, your company's requirements, your industry and your workflow. We can help you compare Siemens NX, Solid Edge, AutoCAD and other platforms against what you actually design.

The right CAM software depends on machine type, number of axes, component geometry, machining strategy, postprocessor and production requirements. We can help you evaluate suitable options.

Ideally the software relevant to the career path you want. We train on Siemens NX, Solid Edge, AutoCAD, Fusion 360, SolidWorks and CAM/CNC workflows, and can advise on which fits your goals.

Both are professional mechanical CAD platforms, but they differ in capability, workflow, target industries and manufacturing integration. The right choice depends on your design and manufacturing requirements.

Both handle CNC manufacturing workflows, but they differ in capability, interface, integration, machining strategies and typical industry use. The right choice depends on your machines, components, workflow and postprocessor requirements.

It depends on the complexity of the mould, your design workflow, manufacturing requirements and existing software environment. Siemens NX and other professional CAD/CAM platforms all support mould design and manufacturing workflows.

It depends on your objective. For product design, a CAD-focused programme suits better; for CNC manufacturing, CAM and CNC programming are more relevant. We offer both.

Choose according to your intended career path. We provide training in Siemens NX, Solid Edge, AutoCAD, Fusion 360 and SolidWorks.

Look at what the companies and industries you want to work in actually run. We train on CAM and CNC programming and can help you pick a sensible learning path.

Between approximately 30 and 180 days, depending on the software and level. VMC Operating is the shortest at around 30 days; the full Siemens NX CAD/CAM programme is the longest at around 180.
