Styling & Industrial Design
In many industries, design and styling are the most important differentiating characteristics of products. Innovation – in appearance, form, function, and style – distinguishes products when quality and price are virtually indistinguishable. Good design and styling balance aesthetics and ergonomics with the product’s performance, quality, cost, materials, methods of manufacture, and other considerations.
Formation Design Group used NX styling applications to create this pallet truck for Crown Equipment Corp.
NX meets the needs of industrial designers, whose innovation and creativity serve as the springboard for inspired new products. At the same time, NX synchronizes the form, fit, and function efforts of stylists with all the other disciplines involved in the concept-to-market process. Flexible, idea-sparking tools reside atop a practical platform that maintains data integrity downstream through data associativity. Designers have all the tools they need to explore shape and style while the unified solution ensures a seamless transition into engineering, marketing, and manufacturing.
NX advanced modeling, analysis, and visualization capabilities give stylists the freedom to explore and refine product concepts. Product ideas can be as simple as rough ideas that kickstart the conceptual process; or they can be developed into fully rendered product environment images suitable for presentation. With its easy-to-use, intuitive interface, designers have the freedom of working with 3D paper or virtual clay. And with no data transfer problems, product managers have a level of control like never before.
With a fully integrated industrial design and styling solution in the NX portfolio of products, users can take advantage of an even bigger toolset of modeling, assembly, simulation, manufacturing, and product lifecycle management functionality. The combined strengths of these tools deliver the most complete industrial design and advanced surfacing solution available.

在很多行业中, 产品的设计和造型是产品最重要的区分特征。当无法从质量和价格上来区分产品时，在外观、形状、功能和造型上的创新可以用于区别产品。优秀的设计和造型可以平衡美学和人机工程学与产品性能、质量、成本、材料、制造方法及其它因素之间的关系。
Formation设计集团把NX 造型应用软件用于为Crown设备公司设计这款叉车。
NX软件超越了传统的CAD软件，能够满足工业设计人员的需要。工业设计人员的创新和创造力可以激发新产品开发灵感。同时，NX软件使设计师在产品形状、拟合以及功能方面所做的努力与从概念到市场整个过程中涉及到的其它学科同步。灵活的、激发开发灵感的设计工具应该建立在这样一个实用平台之上，即该平台可以通过数据关联性来保持下游数据的完整性。设计师拥有研究外形和造型所需的所有工具，同时统一的解决方案可以确保无缝地过渡到工程、营销和制造。
利用NX先进的建模、分析和可视化功能，款式设计师可以自由地研究和细化产品概念。产品理念可以和启动概念过程的初始概念一样简单；或者可以把这些产品概念发展为适用于演示的全面着色产品环境图像中。通过它的易用性和直观界面，设计人员能够自由地用三维纸或虚拟粘土开展工作。由于没有数据转换问题，因此产品管理人员能够达到以前没有的控制水平。
通过NX产品组合内全面集成工业设计和造型的解决方案，用户能够利用一个更大的工具包，涵盖建模、装配、模拟、制造和产品生命周期管理功能。设计专用工具和传统的CAD、CAE和CAM工具相结合，提供可获得的最完整的工业设计和最高级的表面处理解决方案。
