Siemens Announces Additive Manufacturing Special Interest Group<\/h3>\n

It has become clear that Siemens wants to focus even more on additive manufacturing in the future and is committed to building and sharing knowledge about AM. For this reason, Siemens Digital Industries Software has set up the Additive Manufacturing Special Interest Group (AMSIG). The aim of this interest group is to promote further training in 3D printing and to encourage a regular exchange of knowledge. The meetings of the interest groups will take place every two weeks and only last 30 minutes, so that the exchange does not require any additional time. The first meeting took place on February 7 and members can watch the recording online if they are unable to attend. Siemens is offering this opportunity for exchange to partners, customers and anyone interested in learning more about AM and taking part in discussions on industry-relevant topics. The speakers will be either Siemens employees, partners or customers. Demonstrations and application examples of Siemens software will also be presented.<\/p>\n

BMW Group and Dassault Syst\u00e8mes enter into strategic partnership for faster product development<\/h3>\n

Dassault Syst\u00e8mes and the BMW Group have been working together for years to drive innovation together. A newly announced strategic partnership will take the collaboration to a higher level and initiate a new phase in their existing cooperation. Dassault Syst\u00e8mes will support BMW in driving its future development platform, at the heart of which will be Dassault Syst\u00e8mes’ 3DEXPERINCE platform. Digital twins<\/a> will be used to break down the complexity of car manufacturing. Each model can be configured with integrated real-time data. The long-term goal is to speed up the process from idea to production and ensure faster delivery of car models. “We will only optimize our engineering process if we think digitally, work in a network and rely on an integrated database. For the BMW Group, the 3DEXPERIENCE platform will support this approach and help us achieve a higher level of quality in our processes,”<\/em> says Julien Hohenstein, Vice President Processes, Digitalization, Governance Idea to Offer at BMW Group Research and Development. Laurence Montanari, Vice President, Transportation & Mobility Industry at Dassault Syst\u00e8mes adds: “With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, the BMW Group can rethink its development process to offer its customers the most personalized and sustainable experiences.”<\/em><\/p>

Meltio Strengthens Presence in the USA<\/h3>\n

Based in Linares, Spain, Meltio is dedicated to the development of metal additive manufacturing solutions. Its Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) technology offers the ability to manufacture parts with both wire and powder simultaneously with the same printhead. In recent days, we have learned of two new collaborations with the aim of boosting Meltio’s technology and strengthening its position in the international market. The first one is with 3D Phoenix, a Polish company specialized in the supply of high-performance industrial 3D printers. Furthermore, the Spanish company has partnered with U.S.-based One Off Robotics, dedicated to creating advanced robotic manufacturing systems. The goal? To develop an innovative, out-of-the-box additive manufacturing work cell that includes comprehensive support to help end users in any industry.<\/p>\n
