Siemens\u2019 involvement in additive\nmanufacturing<\/a> endeavors continue to advance, becoming more robust, with\nseveral examples of 3D printing technology that are impacting the simulating\nand printing of consolidated parts at scale, with repeatable quality. The\nindustrialization of this technological innovation is driven through end-to-end\nsolutions as well as partnerships and an open ecosystem for advancing this\neffort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Establishing a footprint in this industry, Siemens launched an Additive Manufacturing (AM) network<\/a> for following pilots and successful implementations with customers and partners Decathlon<\/a>, Siemens Gas & Power<\/a>, Siemens Mobility<\/a>, HP<\/a> and Materialise<\/a>. The Siemens AM Network provides a progressive cloud-based solution fostering a collaborative approach of process orchestration among engineers, with procurement and suppliers of 3D printed parts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new network was recently spotlighted last month at the Formnext<\/em><\/a> conference in Frankfurt,\nGermany. It provides the stepping stones for assisting companies in\naccelerating the adoption of additive manufacturing, digitalizing the\norder-by-delivery process via the alignment of engineering and commercial\nmethods to create premium quality working prototypes and serial parts\nproduction. Promoting a collaborative approach, the system connects buyers and\nglobal suppliers, thus streamlining the process, fostering engagement,\norchestrating workflow and increasing throughput for reducing operational\ncosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSiemens\u2019 additive manufacturing experts and industry veterans have developed the additive manufacturing network based on a clear understanding of the complexities and needs of the industry, fostered by a sincere passion to promote the adoption of AM in the industrial domain,\u201d <\/em>said Zvi Feuer<\/a>, Senior Vice President Manufacturing Engineering at Siemens Digital Industries Software. \u201cAs buyers, sellers and partners continue to plug into the ecosystem, they will find a streamlined, modular solution that can grow with each company\u2019s individual needs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Additive Manufacturing Network is another way how Siemens facilitates access with up-to-the-minute knowledge and technological advancements in adopting industrial additive manufacturing \u2013 allowing customers to digitally transform business operations. This network showcases a complete system, highlighting features such as: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
