HP and Siemens today announced an expansion of their strategic
alliance to help customers transform their businesses with
industrial additive manufacturing (AM). Siemens, an innovation
leader in automation and digitalization, and HP, the leader in
industrial 3D printing, will expand their integrated additive
manufacturing solution, incorporating new systems and software
innovations including overall product lifecycle management (PLM),
AM factory optimization, industrial 3D printing and data
intelligence, manufacturing execution, and performance analytics.
The integration of HP’s new Jet Fusion 5200 Series 3D printing
solution with Siemens’ Digital Enterprise offerings enables
industrial companies to bring 3D printed parts to market faster,
more cost-effectively, more sustainably, and at higher volumes than
ever before. The companies announced the expanded alliance at
an event to celebrate the addition of a new Polymer Competency
Center to the Siemens Additive Manufacturing Experience Center
(AMEC) in Erlangen, Germany, where HP also unveiled its new
industrial-performance HP Jet Fusion 5200 Series 3D printing
solution. “We are excited to expand our collaboration with HP.
Innovative partnerships and cutting-edge technologies such as
additive manufacturing are essential for the digital transformation
of companies across industries. Siemens and HP are thinking ahead
to the future and are bringing together the best from both
companies in a complete, industry-specific solution that will
accelerate the adoption of industrial additive manufacturing and
help our customers to increase flexibility, efficiency, and speed
of digital manufacturing,” said
Klaus Helmrich, CEO of
Siemens Digital Industries and member of the Managing Board of
Siemens AG.
“We are proud to partner with Siemens to make high-performance
parts, personalized products, and serialized 3D production a
reality for our customers,” said Christoph Schell,
President of 3D Printing and Digital Manufacturing and member of
the Executive Leadership Team at HP Inc. “HP and
Siemens share the vision that digital manufacturing systems are
catalysts for change – expanded software, data, services, and
industrial production solutions that lead to new manufacturing
capabilities, innovative applications, and breakthrough business
results for our customers.”
The expanded additive manufacturing solution from Siemens and HP
integrates hardware, software, data intelligence, and services to
optimize the efficiency of the entire manufacturing process, from
design and simulation through production planning, execution,
quality, and control. This integrated, closed-loop environment,
backed by the industry’s leading forces, streamlines every phase of
designing and 3D printing serialized parts – with greater scale,
higher quality, and less waste.
“As a provider of solutions and services we want to team up with
strong partners that have the necessary expertise in materials and
the manufacturing process to support them to produce 3D printing
systems ,” explained Klaus Helmrich.
The solution combines HP’s 3D printing and 3D data platform,
including its new HP Jet Fusion 5200 system, with Siemens Digital
Industries Software including Siemens NX CAD/CAE, NX AM for HP
Multi Jet Fusion software module with direct printer interface,
undergoing certification by HP for its Jet Fusion 5200 Series to be
available later this year, as well as Teamcenter for PLM,
Tecnomatix Plant Simulation, Simatic IT for manufacturing
execution, and MindSphere for performance analytics and Industrial
IoT. HP and Siemens will continue to align future technology
roadmaps to ensure customers can capitalize on the ongoing digital
manufacturing innovations from both companies. “HP and Siemens are
building on a vision first established in 2016. Today, thanks
to advances in HP’s 3D printing systems and data intelligence
portfolio and Siemens AM offerings, the integrated end-to-end
solution has reached a level of efficiency that enables industries
to viably 3D print high-quality parts at volume production,”
continued HP’s Christoph Schell. The cooperation
is coupled with the new Siemens Polymer Competency Center, which
will be the focal point for the two companies to work jointly with
automotive and industrial customers to create unique product
designs, bring 3D printed parts to market faster, and set up
digital factory environments that unleash the full potential of
additive manufacturing. “Volkswagen is a partner of both HP and
Siemens and we are excited to see these market leaders join forces
to unlock the power of industrial additive manufacturing. As one of
the world’s largest auto groups, we see enormous opportunities for
digital manufacturing technologies to speed our innovation cycle,
bring new products to market faster, and improve our manufacturing
efficiency and sustainability. We look forward to
collaborating with HP and Siemens to explore more 3D printed
applications that help us deliver even greater experiences for our
customers,” said Dr. Martin Goede, Head of Technology
Planning and Development at Volkswagen. HP, Siemens, and
their customers will initially explore exciting new applications in
areas such as personalization, fluid dynamics optimization, and
energy absorption, to name a few.
