Innovation and collaborative, synchronized program management for new programs
Additive manufacturing is enabling heavy equipment manufacturers to overcome traditional design and manufacturing limitations by reshaping part design, and manufacturing processes and materials traditionally used for optimal performance at a reduced cost. Our Additive Manufacturing and Design solution delivers integrated software applications for Additive Manufacturing that allow you to reimagine products, retool manufacturing, and rethink business models.
The streamlined, digitalized solution from design model to printed part eliminates the need to translate and remodel parts between applications, resulting in better product performance, simplified assemblies, and revolutionizes the manufacturing operations of the most complex parts with a minimized number of setups and tooling.

Heavy Equipment manufacturers are faced with a unique set of challenges including pressure from global low-cost providers, weight reduction to meet regulatory requirements, and the need to deliver innovative solutions that support the end customers’ demands for customization. Conventional thinking about part design and manufacturing, including scanning and reverse engineering physical models so they can be used in production workflows, limits product performance as well as manufacturing efficiency. Siemens PLM Software’s Additive Design and Manufacturing solution enables the easy collection and integration of physical assets into the digital design context.
Heavy Equipment manufacturers now have the ability to leverage physical data which can be integrated directly into the design workflows without rework, thereby removing breaks in the process and streamlining throughput. Fully parametric design, simulation, and modification support on mixed geometry models ensures continuous evolution as the part design geometry matures. This results in a more reliable data translation, consistent manufacturing process, and increases the viability of mainstream production applications.
