…3D manufacturing. The printing system counts BASF, Materialise and Siemens as strategic partners, creating what HP calls “a new global community of proven large-scale 3D printed parts providers.” The printer is the latest refinement of HP’s work in Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) printing technology, which prints on a line-by-line basis. HP says the method is inspired by its long history of 2D wide format printing, but relies on a variety of innovations for 3D. HP says MJF allows for faster cooling and increased automation of post-processing compared to selective laser sintering (SLS). MJF allows almost 90% of recovered powder to…

…original CAD data on the right. Image courtesy of Siemens. “What we see is that in order to industrialize and use the (additive manufacturing) technology in higher volume production scenarios, we need to do a few things to get it right,” Ravi Shankar, director of global simulation product marketing for Siemens PLM Software, tells DE. “One critical area is to do what we call first-time-right print. Typically, companies attempt to print a part multiple times at a high cost before they actually achieve an acceptable result. That is delaying the transition of what is a very exciting technology into real…

…vehicle design, engineering, simulation and program management.” In 2017, Siemens PLM Software acquired TASS, an autonomous driving simulation software developer. As a result, TASS’ PreScan software is now part of the company’s portfolio. PreScan is a physics-based simulation platform that is used in the automotive industry for development of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) that are based on sensor technologies such as radar, laser/lidar, camera and GPS, according to the company. PreScan also can work with accident information, such as road traffic accident data from the German In-Depth Accident Study (GIDAS) project. “In PreScan, you can have a cyclist jump…

Siemens Digital Industries Software and SAS announced a new partnership today that will help companies create new IoT edge and cloud-enabled solutions by applying SAS and open source streaming analytics through Siemens’ MindSphere. Users will gain access to SAS advanced and predictive analytics in MindSphere, which can accelerate the adoption of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) in Internet of Things (IoT) environments. Siemens and SAS will collaborate to engage with new and existing customers and, beginning with streaming analytics, enable near-real-time embedded AI for IoT devices at the edge. The partners expect the solutions to be generally available…

…collaborate on materials. The fact that companies like GE, Siemens, BASF and HP were represented at AMUG is sign that the larger manufacturing world is taking additive manufacturing seriously. Simulation software providers are also taking the technology seriously and working on the considerable challenges involved in predicting what will happen when a particular design using a particular material is 3D printed in a particular machine. “Part of what we've found from our customers is that it's not enough to have a best piece of simulation,” says Brent Stucker, director of additive manufacturing at ANSYS. “They want simulation in the loop…
