…consumers; and the Pro series is for commercial laptops. Siemens and ARM At the show, Siemens also announced its partnership with ARM, a processor IP firm. The company plans to incorporate ARM Automotive Enhanced products in Siemens’ PAVE360, described as a “pre-silicon autonomous validation environment.” The two firms expect to reach automotive manufacturers using sensors. The resulting integrated circuited boards (ICs), according to Siemens, will let you “simulate and verify sub-system and system on chip (SoC) designs, and better understand how they perform within a vehicle design from the silicon level up, long before the vehicle is built.” HP introduces…

…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…

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,…

…metal printing. The new Design 4AM project leverages the Siemens Digital Innovation Platform and input from Sonaca for metal printing for space applications. Printer manufacturer VELO3D and auto company PWR have partnered on a printed aluminum heat exchanger for the motorsports market. Optomec reported a 43% revenue increase in the second quarter over last year, in part because of strong demand for its metal printing products. And a number of companies are touting new technological innovations that will make metal printing faster, less expensive and more “production ready” for end users. Exactly how this will play out over the next…

…many well-established industrial solution providers such as ABB, GE, Siemens, and Honeywell, and bring AI into brownfield deployment, lowering upfront cost and the barrier to adoption. Through their partnership with system integrators and regional distributors, these startups have also ventured into Europe, South Korea, and Japan. “The high labor cost and the quick time-to-market have driven U.S. manufacturers to be more aggressive with the adoption of industrial AI solutions. This has given birth to pure-play AI players in the US, and as such, keeps the US to be the global leader in industrial AI solutions. Over time, however, we believe…

…of the industrial machinery and heavy equipment industry at Siemens Digital Industries Software. “Modeling and simulation go hand in hand, and more engineers in machinery are embracing generative design, which helps build the model through topology optimization by running successive iterations on the simulation model.” The Best of Both Worlds Design modularization is another methodology gaining favor. This approach combines the advantages of standardization with those of customization. Using this practice, design teams subdivide a system into discrete, scalable modules that can be independently created and used in different systems. To ensure interoperability, the engineers incorporate industry standard modular interfaces.…
