Manage the data for the entire additive manufacturing process
Additive Manufacturing Data and Process Management
Additive Manufacturing Data and Process Management
Capture the entire additive manufacturing process with data management solutions from Siemens. This includes not just data associated with part geometries, but data encompassing the entire build tray setup and the printing parameters. Build strategies, post processing, and validation procedures are also pieces of the additive manufacturing puzzle. Managing this data properly is key to having a quality, repeatable, industrial additive manufacturing process. With Teamcenter from Siemens, managing this process data is easy and seamless.

Manage the 3D printing process
Producing additive manufactured parts at an industrial scale, especially in metal, requires numerous manufacturing processes and post processes that must be managed. Setup and preparation of the printer as well as post-print steps such as substrate separation, heat treatment, finishing, and inspection are all steps that must be tightly controlled.
Operate with maximum efficiency
Optimize material usage
Managing materials for the additive manufacturing process is another area where a tightly controlled process is mandatory. Counting the number of recycles and mixed powder batches is necessary for tracing the materials used in your printing operations. This traceability is important because you can't disassemble mixed powders and the amount of recycled powder used may affect the quality of the final print.
Secure additive manufacturing data
Protect your organization intellectual property through robust data security measures. Siemens has partnered with Identify3D to integrate their suite of tools for protection of additive manufacturing data. The ecosystem provided by Siemens and Identify3D provides for a secure digital container to move and modify additive manufacturing data through the digital workflow. All of the necessary elements are integrated into the Siemens product set from NX CAD/CAM through to the machine controllers.
