Siemens’ portfolio of IoT-enabled hardware, software and digital
services will further propel Desktop Metal’s accessible, reliable
and easy-to-use additive manufacturing 2.0 solutions
Siemens and Desktop Metal, Inc., global leaders in
digitalization and additive manufacturing technologies, announced
today a multi-faceted partnership aimed at accelerating the
adoption of additive manufacturing (AM) for production applications
with a focus on the world’s largest manufacturers.
The sweeping collaboration will touch many aspects of the
Desktop Metal business and benefit end-users in a variety of
ways:
- Increased integration of Siemens technology in Desktop Metal’s
AM 2.0 systems, including operational technology, information
technology, and automation.
- Desktop Metal solutions will be fully integrated into Siemens
simulation and planning tools for machine and factory design. For
example, Siemens Digital Twin tools are now used for designing some
machines and Siemens Advanta can simulate all levels of the binder
jetting process and global plant planning, enabling fast and
reliable decisions for factory planning.
- The two companies will also be working on specific
industrial-scale projects involving data handling and
environmental, health and safety topics.
- Siemens and Desktop Metal will work together to promote the
benefits of AM 2.0 technologies, with a focus on binder jet 3D
printing as a key technology solution that can reduce waste,
produce more, and build more resilient supply chains.
"Additive Manufacturing plays a crucial role as horizontal
technology for many industries on their way to improved material
efficiency and decarbonization,” stated Tim Bell, head of the
Siemens Additive Manufacturing business in the United States. Bell
continues, “We are very excited about this partnership with Desktop
Metal. Combining our digital twin concept for planning and
simulation as well as the automation of the production systems with
the technology of Desktop Metal will accelerate the transformation
to scale. As additive manufacturing continues its path to
industrialization, collaborations like this will drive additive
manufacturing to greater levels of quality and throughput only
traditional manufacturing methods profit from today."
“We're proud to partner with Siemens to improve the integration
of Desktop Metal solutions into existing trusted Siemens
manufacturing infrastructures, which can help manufacturers prove
out their manufacturing resources and concepts prior to the
purchase of full work cells,” said Ric Fulop, Founder and CEO of
Desktop Metal. “Enabling customers to simulate different task-time
scenarios for the full binder jetting process can help customers
plan before they purchase any equipment. As our technology
continues to make inroads toward high-volume production, we believe
Siemens technology will be of increasing value to our
customers.”
