Siemens has signed an agreement to acquire Atlas 3D, Inc., a Plymouth, IN-based developer of software that works with direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) printers to automatically provide design engineers with the optimal print orientation and requisite support structures for additive parts in near real time. Atlas 3D will join Siemens Digital Industries Software, where its solutions will expand additive manufacturing capabilities in the Xcelerator portfolio of software. Sunata software uses thermal distortion analysis to provide a simple, automated way to optimize part build orientation and generate support structures. This approach allows the designer—rather than the analyst—to perform these simulations,…

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…
