We deliver nature-inspired, flexible, and scalable digital manufacturing solutions that close the material loop, maximizing production and material efficiency. This results in a 30% increase in productivity, 85% less energy consumption, and a 90% reduction in carbon footprint.
Innovative, environmentally friendly material and manufacturing technologies are demanded by our customers, the financial markets, and the society. We help to overcome linear economy and offer optimized solutions for circularity in all phases of the product life cycle. Additive Manufacturing (AM) represents one key building block to make this paradigm shift happen in part design, manufacturing technology, and innovative business models.
Additive manufacturing (AM) represents nothing less than a paradigm shift in part design, manufacturing technology, and innovative business models. AM can provide lighter, performance-optimized, and potentially cheaper industrial products that can even reduce a company’s footprint – along with enhanced operational flexibility, speed-to-market, higher plant productivity, and supply chain resiliency.
To realize these expectations, AM relies on the application of powerful digital tools and automation technologies. These ensure a seamlessly integrated end-to-end workflow that efficiently takes the AM user from an idea to a validated design all the way to a final end product. With simulation tools along the process chain, even first-time-right printing is achievable.
We ensure transparency for sustainable manufacturing improvements and operational performance by seamless collection, processing and provisioning of critical product and factory data. Building on this, we are helping our customers’ operations with digital solutions and new process technologies from product definition over production execution to the product end of life. With the Digital Enterprise Portfolio, Siemens offers holistic solutions containing CAD, CAM, and CAE software for designing and validating parts and automation technologies that enable machine builders to deliver state-of-the-art 3D printers or peripheral machines.
At designated global technology hubs, Siemens is demonstrating the potential of its portfolio to customers, focusing on the advancement of additive and circular applications. Through collaborative efforts with regional ecosystems comprising partners, customers, and academia, Siemens aims to industrialize additive manufacturing. The shared objective is to empower the ecosystem to efficiently create, make, and use additive applications at scale, promoting a circular approach towards manufacturing and utilization.
We advance manufacturing solutions by improving machines through process control & cutting edge digitalization solutions. Following, our own factories as well as our customers can provide performance-optimized, e.g. lighter and potentially cheaper industrial products that may reduce a company’s resource footprint – along with enhanced operational flexibility, speed-to-market, higher plant productivity, and supply chain resilience. We empower the ecosystem by digital end-to-end solutions containing CAD, CAM, and CAE software for designing and validating parts.
