Siemens launches Additive Manufacturing Network to transform global manufacturing

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

Stories: Interview with Karsten Heuser

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 invests in new 3D-printing facility in UK

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.

Siemens and HP Partner to Advance 3D Printing for Product Development and Industrial Production

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
