Siemens PLM Software has announced that its MCAD software suite, NX 6, is almost ready to launch on the Mac platform. The Mac variant will include all of the same technology and features as NX 6 for Linux and Windows. The user interface is completely customizable, with tools for managing and sharing information throughout an organization. The company's Synchronous Technology combines history-based and explicit modeling to allow inexperienced users to edit or transform 3D models without needing to know how the models were created.

NX 6 for Mac will require a 64-bit Intel-based system running OS X 10.5.5 or higher. The software will include CAD, CAM, Assemblies and Drafting.

Siemens is currently signing up customers to test the new software. A full demonstration is planned for the PLM World conference in June, with a public release soon thereafter. [via Architosh]
