Innovative engineering needs a multidisciplinary approach. At Sherpa, we’ve made that our business model.
Beyond our crew of mechanical and electrical engineers and industrial designers, we exchange insights with our very own NX CAD/CAM trainers, Teamcenter experts, Carbon 3D printing global design partners, and on-site precision machinists.
In this channel, we share some of our case studies, tips and best practices and how to video guides around these topics.

Bike Constructors Challenge 2024
This year Sherpa embarked on an exercise in team building in the form of an engineering constructor challenge.
Two teams of engineers at Sherpa were tasked with designing, producing, procuring, and assembling a bike for the office that employees can ride around town. Each team was given a different theme for their bike design: Everest and Moab.
The teams were each given an antiquated mountain bike frame and about 16 weeks to work together on design and manufacturing. They were challenged to create custom features, work within a small budget, and partner with Sherpa’s 3D printing department and CNC machine shop for producing their components. Both teams were expected to work in NX CAD or SolidWorks, manage their projects in our Teamcenter environment, create a BOM, and track all expenses.
In this documentary we go behind the scenes to tell their story. resources.sherpa-design.com/elevating-engineering/bike_constructor_challenge

NX 2406 - Sketched Bridge Transitions
Переглядів 261Місяць тому
New in NX 2406 for the Bridge Transition tool is the Sketched Transition option when bridging the gap between Flexible board designs. No longer do we have to choose between just a Z, U or Fold transition; we now have the power to create any transition simply by sketching it in where it’s needed! In this video I demonstrate how to use this upgraded to in the Flexible Printed Circuit Design appli...
Printing a bike saddle on the Carbon M3 Max.
Переглядів 624Місяць тому
Here we 3D scanned the rigid plastic shell of a bike saddle and took the scan data into NX reverse engineering to create a bike saddle model that looks and functions well. Using Carbon Design Engine, we defined regions with different lattice parameters for optimal comfort and support. (Either) We prepared it for 3D printing by adding skins and perforated textures for ease of cleaning and handli...
NX to 5-axis CNC Machining Custom Bike Brake Lever
Переглядів 3852 місяці тому
Digital twins have long existed in the manufacturing space by incorporating true G-code simulation directly in NX CAM. Our manufacturing team can identify problems in the digital domain before collisions or mistakes are made in the real world. 5-axis machining reduces setups and ensures more dimensionally accurate parts. Here we are machining a lever for a custom bike brake lever.
Does your Siemens Licensing Tool Crash?
Переглядів 1042 місяці тому
In this video we handle an issue with the licensing tool in previous versions of NX where the licensing tool will not retrieve the bundle information and that causes it to crash. If you are running a mixed license and your Siemens Licensing Tool will not allow you to select bundles (crashes, closes, etc). By using a newer Licensing Tool executable, you can elevate to a network location and conf...

NX2406 now lets you easily copy and paste constraints, along with your components. Here is a quick look at the new and improved functionality. Once copied you can adjust those constraints to match a new position. For example, copying and pasting a wheel from one side of a vehicle to another and then changing the alignment constraint to reverse the direction. These can save a lot of time.

🎉!Sweet!🎉
Thank you so much for sharing!
But this doesn't work in NX Assembly. Why is that?
You put the left wheel on backwards, look at the grooves in the rubber.
"You’re right, great catch! Luckily, it’s an easy fix in NX Assemblies. I’d just need to go back into my assembly, expand the Constraints container in my Assembly Navigator and edit the constraint I just added to select the other side of the wheel. Thanks!"
pls make more nx videos.your videos are very good/
I'm working on more NX content. Stay tuned!
Thank you for sharing 🙏
You're welcome! Hope it helps!
What's your idea about nx in comparison other famous cad?
NX has more design power and capability compared to other CAD programs in almost every engineering related industry. One of the reasons for this is NX has a tremendous engineering community around it that supports it and pushes it forward.
Hello, I installed Nx 2312. I loaded the Nx 12 role. Base view, section view and many other commands did not come in drafting. What should I do?
There’s no auto fill for the resin tank on a product that cost $70,000+? Once the patent expires in about 5 years we’ll see some real improvements
Sweet!
That's a thick boy
So ... how did the prints look side by side with the previous model? What other differences did you notice between them?
The differences were not that noticeable on the UMA 90 part shown in the video. We really started seeing difference when printing other geometries with Carbon's dual-cure resins. There is much smoother first print surface finish and speeds are about 10%-20% faster by default.
Hi sir whenever I apply translucent display and then sketch on a face translucent is gone
The specific object that is being made Translucent, and if you are in an assembly context could also affect the results of what you're seeing.
I didn’t know about the tab that pops up. Much more handy. I also noticed you can undock the tab, which makes it extra visible in its own window
