…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.…

…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…

Although electric vehicles are taking off, truly autonomous vehicles still need to happen. Hear what two industry insiders have to say about the progress that has been made…and the challenges that lie ahead. Autonomous vehicles have potential to revolutionize the transportation industry like no other change since the invention of the automobile, according to Siemens. Creating these vehicles demands agile, model-based development with integrated data flows and a heavy reliance on software-based simulation capabilities. Siemens PLM Software offers a full set of autonomous vehicle solutions for all key technical domains – from chip design to full vehicle validation.

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…
