Additive Manufacturing Experience Center

Experience our software and automation products and services for the end-to-end process at our hands-on Additive Manufacturing Experience Center.

Experience a live presentation of the NX Software CAD/CAM/CAE, including the product design and simulation of production processes and production planning, preparation and verification of the print job.

Experience the Teamcenter® software with its modern, adaptable product lifecycle management (PLM) system solutions as well as a presentation of AM machines for different key AM technologies with automation solutions of SIEMENS AG.

Get an introduction to SIMATIC IT UA DM for the continuous process improvement through the cooperation of manufacturing and engineering. A live presentation of the DED Hybrid machine (DMG Mori LASERTEC 65 3D hybrid) that enables maximum precision and dynamic for the additive process can be seen in the AMEC.

Experience a live presentation of the multi-axis material extrusion Comau robot that is driven by SINUMERIK controller. The printed parts are based on NX CAM outputs. The robot is equipped with a 3D printer head of the company Hage and the live view cabinet is equipped with SIEMENS automation technology.

Experience a presentation and the benefits of the Additive Manufacturing Network, MindSphere access to DMG AM machine and virtual factory planning, which is demonstrated by an example of fabric planning for the printing of a Weiss Spindle.

We show the integrated seamless Additive Manufacturing (AM) chain along a real use case: the live repair of an injection molding tool for a drone, from the design stage via a digital production twin to a real product – everything seamless and digitally integrated.

Contact We provide our customers with an overview of the industrialization of AM on the basis of our seamlessly integrated, holistic software and hardware portfolio along the entire value chain. Contact our AM experts and find out which AM technology you can use to fully realize your AM potential. We look forward to a tour with you through our real AMEC as well as through our digital AMEC. Please choose an option in what visit you are interested in, on site in Erlangen or virtually.

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

Siemens opens its Additive Manufacturing Network to enable the efficient execution of design and printing requests by doctors, hospitals and suppliers of medical equipment in response to COVID-19 pandemic.

For Industrial Additive Manufacturing, the Siemens Digital Enterprise Portforlio is extensive and provides a massive amount of powerful features for it's users. Let's take a deeper look at what it can do with simulations, and planning, and digital twins during the entire product life cycle.

Insights of Karsten Heuser on Siemens’ Additive Manufacturing portfolio and future trends.

At the IAA 2019 in Frankfurt, the EDAG Group presents the 3D-printed active coolant distributor which was developed in cooperation with Siemens Digital Industries and installed for the first time in the "EDAG SCALEbat" battery housing.

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

Burner tips for gas turbines

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
