Highlights How to redesign products? How can you improve additive manufacturing? How do you transform research and development into the right business model? Learn more from our experts about an integrated design, data and process chain to accelerate the industrialization of Additive Manufacturing

The future is here Use the digital twin to derive unique benefits from the Digital Enterprise Suite.

Reimagine products with the digital twin of the product

Additive Manufacturing gives you the freedom to create forms that would have been impossible using conventional manufacturing methods.

Reinvent manufacturing with the digital twin of the production and the performance

Additive Manufacturing optimizes the production process, setup, and configuration.

Rethink business

Additive Manufacturing enables flexible, fast, and efficient production. The process is perfect for custom production up to single-unit batches.

Comprehensive approach The value chain for Additive Manufacturing

Both machine and product manufacturers are in a transitional stage between prototype and low-volume production using individual machines on the one hand and fully industrialized series production on the other. Essential factors here are productivity, process stability, end-to-end data chains, speed, quality, and IT security.

Our Digital Enterprise Suite offers end-to-end solutions for Additive Manufacturing. Only a holistic approach, incorporating the entire value chain, will lead to sustainable competitiveness. Around the world, numerous AM machines are used for industrial applications. With 55 machines, Siemens is a frontrunner in both production and as a service provider.

The Digital Enterprise Suite from Siemens is based on:

- Siemens PL software solutions, including NX™, the integrated CAD/CAM/CAE solution

- Simcenter™ solution portfolio, a robust simulation and testing program

- Teamcenter®, the digital product lifecycle management system

- SIMATIC IT and SIMATIC WinCC, two products from the Siemens Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) portfolio for production

- MindSphere, the cloud-based, open IoT operating system

Close cooperation with mechanical engineers and users in all sectors

With Siemens we can rely on proven technical components and are well prepared to handle future requirements. This helps us to handle the challenges of digitalization.

Alfons Eiterer, Head of System Engineering of EOS GmbH

Additive Manufacturing Experience Center SIEMENS offers an interactive Additive Manufacturing Experience Center (AMEC) in Erlangen (Germany), where the integrated seamless Additive Manufacturing chain and the AM relevant products of SIEMENS are shown. The AM Experience Center provides an excellent overview and insight into different industrial AM technologies and information about the challenging industrial requirements for AM-design, -simulation and -production. Our aim is to provide our customers an overview of the value-add of the seamless digital AM chain.

News & Events Additive Manufacturing is enjoying extremely dynamic development. We have compiled a few interesting new developments for you here.

HP and Siemens today announced an expansion of their strategic alliance to help customers transform their businesses with industrial additive manufacturing (AM).

Siemens announced the launch of Additive Manufacturing Network, a new online collaborative platform designed to bring on-demand design and engineering expertise, knowledge, digital tools, and production capacity for industrial 3D printing to the global manufacturing industry

The fourth industrial revolution and the desire of many customers for new, individualized, high-quality products are creating brand-new opportunities for the manufacturing industry. In the face of ever-tougher competition, companies that produce with extreme flexibility efficiency – or that immediately seize on new business opportunities – will have the edge. How do they do it? One way is to take advantage of the numerous possibilities of 3D printing – as Siemens expert Karsten Heuser explains in an interview.

Siemens is to make a €30 million investment in a new, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility for Materials Solutions - A Siemens Business, its Additive Manufacturing, or 3D-printing specialist. The new building in Worcester, UK, set to open in September 2018 and will more than double the company's current footprint. The new factory will be fully powered by Siemens Digital Enterprise solutions, an end-to-end portfolio comprising software-based systems and automation components which cover every conceivable requirement arising along the industrial value chain.

Building on a longstanding partnership, HP Inc. and Siemens are accelerating 3D printing for industrial production through the creation of a new HP-certified Additive Manufacturing (AM) software module from Siemens.

Siemens and Materialise have integrated Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology from Materialise into NX™ software, streamlining the design to manufacturing process for the rapidly growing universe of products being produced using AM (a.k.a. 3D printing).

For the first time, gas turbine blades, made entirely using Additive Manufacturing, have been tested in a gas turbine under full load.

Spare parts on demand

Armrests from the 3D printer not only offer major benefits in the supply of spare parts, but also excel in terms of design
The requirement with the COMBINO tram from Siemens was to incorporate an extra switch into the driver’s armrest compartment
The use of powder bed fusion (plastic) meant the integrated function could be achieved without additional cost

Optimized metal and alloy components are created in exact accordance with the computer blueprint
For many years, powder bed fusion (metal) has been successfully used by Siemens in the energy area at Finspång, Sweden. This process takes over the repair of gas turbine burners – a revolution in the after-sales service field
In this specific case, the repair time was reduced by 90% and, as a result, the turbines were back to their network duties all that much faster
