Designcenter X
All of Designcenter, in a browser, on subscription
Designcenter X is the SaaS delivery of Designcenter: core design, simulation and manufacturing in a browser, with no local install and no IT overhead — built for fast-growing and distributed teams.
Designcenter X moves Designcenter to the cloud. Engineers open a browser to model, draft, simulate and program toolpaths, with data stored centrally so versions are consistent by default. No more arguing about who has the latest file.
For growing companies the real gain is a lower barrier to entry: no servers to buy, no IT rollout to wait for, no large one-off licence fee. Seats are monthly, add people as you grow, scale back when a project ends. And because it shares the same data format as desktop Designcenter, it can run alongside an existing on-premise setup.
Key capabilities
Browser-native
Nothing to install — Windows, macOS or tablet, the experience is identical on the road and at home.
Same core as desktop Designcenter
Identical modelling kernel and data format, so cloud and on-premise can run side by side and migrate freely.
Cloud collaboration
Centralised design data, multi-user work on one model, with comments and version history built in.
Upgrades handled for you
Siemens manages updates, patches and security — your IT team does not.
Design through to manufacturing
Core part modelling, assemblies, drafting, simulation and CAM are all included. Not a cut-down edition.
Elastic licensing
Monthly or annual per-seat subscription that scales with the team, turning capital spend into operating spend.
What it delivers
- No server purchase, no IT overhead — usable within two weeks
- Remote sites and suppliers work on the same data instead of swapping zip files
- Always on the latest release, with no cross-version compatibility headaches
- Interoperable with desktop Designcenter, so no vendor lock-in or data silo
- Predictable budget: add or drop seats with the project cycle
