…with products. Partners present at the grand opening included Siemens for software and factory processes; BASF and GKN for materials; Materialise and ZiggZagg for services; and Avid Product Development for design optimization. Disrupting Manufacturing Business Models Business model disruption was as much of a theme as any particular technology or partnership. “We are in this business to impact how manufacturing affects the whole business model,” says Schell. An example can be found in orthodontics. First Invisalign (a 3D Systems customer) used 3D printing to create custom braces sold through orthodontic offices, then SmileDirectClub (an HP customer) moved to a home…

Siemens took the first step toward bolstering its digital design and manufacturing portfolio with low-code application development capabilities via the integration of Mendix with its MindSphere Internet of Things (IoT) platform. The Mendix for MindSphere integrated solution brings AI-assisted, visual model-based development capabilities to the IoT world, allowing business users or design engineers without formal coding experience to create their own IoT applications. Siemens acquired Mendix last year and this is the first integration deliverable. While Siemens provides a range of out-of-box connectivity and predictive analytics functionality for its MindSphere cloud-based IoT operating system, it’s become clear that custom applications…

…and Markus Seibold, VP additive manufacturing, gas and power, Siemens AG. RAPID+TCT panel on Trends in Additive Manufacturing included leaders from Ford, Honeywell Aerospace, Jabil and Siemens. Dulchinos kicked things off with an obstacle. “One of the challenges today is if you design for additive you don’t have a backup plan to go produce in a traditional manufacturing process. That’s problematic, because there isn’t really a rich supply chain today. We’re really big advocates around open systems, around having partnerships and ecosystems that come together to set standards and be able to allow us to trust that we can produce…
