Siemens Additive Manufacturing Summit @ Formnext Connect 2020

With the concept of the Digital Enterprise Portfolio, we are pursuing a holistic approach - from the perspective of machine manufacturers and machine users alike - that leads to sustainable competitiveness. With state-of-the-art additive manufacturing automation technology and end-to-end AM software, we create solutions for both planar and complex multi-axis AM technologies.

The Additive Manufacturing Network platform accelerates the mass adoption of additive manufacturing in the industrial world as a lever for true on-demand manufacturing. This means that you can receive the parts you need, when you need them, tailored to your needs, through a global network of suppliers.

Right from the very first ideas for a new generation of machines, we collaborate closely with partners from various industries. In doing so, we do not only support with automation components and our know-how, we are also creating a common strategy to take additive manufacturing to a new level of productivity. 

In some cases it can be very advantageous to control a robot directly on a CNC instead of using the classic controller. Due to the fact that a very versatile application area for this combination is additive manufacturing, Siemens works closely with the robot manufacturer Comau in this regard.
