…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…

…as Amazon, Bosch, Coca-Cola, DHL, Nestlé, Procter & Gamble, Siemens, Walmart, and Zalando are among its users. It had a global network of 35 companies with sales of CHF 664.4 million ($720.75 million U.S.) and 2,500 employees as of 2022. Interroll's two-floor facility in Ticino, Switzerland, specialized in techno-polymer injection-molded parts, presented a logistical challenge. Materials handling between production and the logistics area required manual labor because existing systems couldn't provide the necessary flexibility for multi-floor operations in a dynamic environment with people and other equipment moving around. Interroll wanted to increase productivity while enhancing safety through autonomy. The company…

…Angel Trains, Bombardier Transportation, Chiltern Railways, DB ESG and Siemens Mobility. Stratasys’ additive manufacturing consultancy, Blueprint, has estimated that for one major U.S. commuter rail service, every day a train set is out of service costs €18,000, and often a single part that would ordinarily cost less than €100 is all that keeps the train from running. Compounding the challenge, the service life of trains is typically 35-45 years making sourcing spare parts a challenge. By turning to additive manufacturing, train operators can get the parts they need within a day or two regardless of the uniqueness of the part…

…of possibilities both from a design and population perspective.” Siemens Digital Industries Software’s Simcenter simulation portfolio is also helping medical device makers get closer to in silico testing. Vyaire Medical, a maker of respiratory care equipment, is moving away from using simplified models for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of respiratory masks to more realistic and individualized simulations by introducing patient-specific data into those models. By incorporating the lung structure and volume of various breathing profiles, the company is building a library of patient profiles and morphologies along with usage scenarios—for example, an otherwise healthy young adult with COVID-19 or…

…additive manufacturing.” In 2017, manufacturing and design software maker Siemens struck up a partnership with Materialise, an AM software developer. The goal is to integrate “AM technology from Materialise into Siemens’ NX software, streamlining the design-to-manufacturing process for the rapidly growing universe of products being produced using AM,” the press announcement stated. These mergers and alliances are indicators of design and manufacturing software jointly tackling AM challenges that each sector is unequipped to tackle on its own. Print Simulation is Complex CAD developers are generally not in the best position to write full-fledged AM software—particularly, print preparation software. Their coders…

…School Saxony initiative and is supported by Wandelbots with Siemens, the Saxon Ministry of Education, and the Office for Economic Development of the state capital Dresden. “We have to prepare our students for the new demands of working life. This includes robotics,” said Christian Piwarz, minister of education. “Equipping our vocational training centers with the latest technology and user-friendly software should also encourage young people's interest in it. This is how we bring the robotics know-how to the Saxon manufacturing companies and enlarge the talent pool for Saxon automation companies.” Piwarz noted that the Ministry of Education supported the vocational…
