Siemens Expands Additive Manufacturing Solutions on Xcelerator Marketplace!

Siemens continues to strengthen its commitment to advancing additive manufacturing (AM) by expanding its offerings on the Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace. This strategic expansion aims to enhance the scalability, quality, and efficiency of AM processes in various industries, including aerospace, defense, and energy. Through collaborations with key partners, Siemens is providing cutting-edge solutions that enable companies to integrate AM into conventional manufacturing technologies while maintaining high standards of quality, safety, and efficiency.

One of the key additions to the Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace is LEAM Technologies, which is revolutionizing large format additive manufacturing (LFAM) using light-based welding technology. This innovative approach enables extreme mechanical strength even with difficult-to-print materials. LEAM’s solution is particularly beneficial for industries such as aerospace, defense, and energy, where high-strength materials are essential. The technology also includes a temperature monitoring system that allows real-time regulation during the manufacturing process, improving the quality of printed parts and significantly reducing reject rates. Manufacturers can now improve production efficiency and ensure superior part quality through LEAM’s technology, available on the Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace.

Another major addition to the Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace is VLM Robotics, known for its XXL manufacturing machines. VLM Robotics will debut its CALYPSO autonomous mobile robotic solution at Formnext, offering a fully automated, mobile solution for industries like shipbuilding, aerospace, and energy. This hybrid solution integrates capabilities such as Directed Energy Deposition, Cold Spray, welding, control, and milling. With VLM’s hybrid robotic solutions, manufacturers can seamlessly integrate AM processes into their production environments, enabling agile and efficient operations for large components. These solutions, also available on the Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace, represent a significant leap in the way manufacturers can perform complex operations with enhanced precision and flexibility.

Haddy, a company transforming the furniture manufacturing industry, is also part of the Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace. Haddy builds a global network of microfactories equipped with hybrid Flexbot systems and recycling units to shorten supply chains and reduce environmental impact. By using renewable and recyclable materials, Haddy promotes a truly circular economy, where products are designed for reuse, recycling, or safe return to the environment at the end of their lifecycle. Haddy’s approach also involves collecting detailed data during manufacturing, which is used to continuously optimize robots for higher speed, accuracy, and efficiency. This innovation is paving the way for sustainable production practices in the furniture sector and beyond.

Finally, Stratasys continues to work with Siemens on the AM I Navigator initiative, designed to guide manufacturers in the process of industrializing additive manufacturing. Since its launch, the AM I Navigator has been refined with real-world applications and concrete examples, offering businesses a structured approach to evaluating their digitalization readiness and enhancing their production processes. By helping companies streamline their journey to scalable and efficient AM solutions, Siemens and Stratasys are ensuring that businesses are prepared to meet the challenges of modern manufacturing.

Through these partnerships and solutions, Siemens is not only providing advanced additive manufacturing technologies but also promoting sustainability and digitalization in manufacturing. The expanded offerings on the Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace underscore the company’s dedication to driving innovation and efficiency across various industries, enabling businesses to optimize their operations and contribute to a more sustainable future.
