Question

NX users that switched to Creo

Looking for some feedback

I have been using Unigraphics NX for about 10 years and used Pro E 2001 and 2002 for a year before that

I am thinking of dusting off the Pro E seat and get back into Creo

Are there any NX users using Creo? I am wondering how they are getting along

When I had Pro E before I had the Advanced Surface Extension, I am told that It is not necessary in Creo as it has been rolled into the package

I am a Stamping Die designer and Automation Designer. I use the wave linking feature quite heavily in NX, not sure how that will go over in Creo,

Any info or comments you have would be great, I am downloading the 30 day demo this weekend

Regards,

Brian Marchand

‌Well I guess there are no Unigraphics NX people that have switched---that kind of scares me!

Is there anyone that is using crew stictly for stamping die design. All the videos online show machine or automation.

I Design very complex stamping dies and am evaluating creo parametric And would like some feedback from this type of work to decide if I should purchase creo or save up 35000 for Unigraphics

I was involved with a company decision to switch from UG after 18 years to Wildfire. They have since been sold and switched again to CATIA.

To get the advanced modules you will need to stamping dies, the price won't be that much different. 35K for NX is high from what I have seen. I think the Mach3 bundle was only about $26K, but that can be negotiated with your sales rep.

The 35000 included the first years maintenance ( I think i was quoted 27000 for mach 3 with PDW)

If you are referencing the advanced surface extension as the interactive surface design extension (ISDX), then no, it is not included in the core package.  You will have to purchase the ISDX license, and ISDX does have 3G acceleration.

I'm Evaluating as well creo. I Worked till 2014 with NX, and since then with CATIA. At the moment in my company we have both (CATIA and NX), and we are deciding to use only one software, We draw metal stamping dies.

 

Our Options:

-NX

-Catia

-Creo

 

CATIA and NX prices are quite high compared to Creo. My boss is thinking about switching for creo, and he asked me to make the trial, and talk with the VAR. They will make me a demo of it in the next few days.

 

It's really a hard decision to make.

I forgot to say, my VAR didn't talk about  interactive surface design extension (ISDX). Is it important for design metal stamping die design?
