EOS & Siemens Partner on 3D Printing Software Integration and Sales https://ift.tt/37PUUjs In 2016, EOS North America integrated its EOSPRINT software into Siemens’ NX software, kicking off a long partnership between the two that’s focused mainly on the advancement and adoption of industrial 3D printing. In 2018, Siemens provided automation and drive technology for EOS’s new M 300 Series and P 500 Series printers, and now the two have announced that their partnership is growing again. As part of this expanded agreement, EOS will integrate and resell Siemens’ AM software solutions with its own printers, which will unify the industrialized AM process in order to achieve more profitable AM factories. In addition to making AM efficiency and profitability better, this integrated reseller agreement will give customers connectivity to upstream design and downstream production processes, and give them access to build preparation and optimization as well.
This extended agreement makes it possible for EOS North America to resell products in Siemens’ industrialized AM solution as part of its Xcelerator portfolio, which has every phrase of AM development connected by one digital thread—the exact opposite of something called a point solution.
EOS will integrate its own EOSPRINT 2 job and process management software solution with the Siemens NX software, as well as reselling the NX AM build preparation and AM Build Optimizer software to metal 3D printing customers so they can optimize their support structures and better orient their parts. By combining these two software solutions, EOS customers will be able to have access to and use all of Siemens’ AM capabilities, such as:
With the ability to leverage all of these combined capabilities, EOS says that its customers can rest easy with the knowledge that their 3D printed parts have been created “to best accomplish their goals of first-time-right printing.”
One example is critical thermal components designer and manufacturer Sintavia LLC, which recently purchased two M4K-4 3D printers—basically stretched-out versions of the EOS M400-4. The company is taking advantage of the partnership between EOS and Siemens by building an end-to-end AM workflow that makes good use of the NX AM Build Preparation and AM Build Optimizer and NX AM Print Driver for EOSPRINT.
Siemens Digital Industries Software will train the EOS Additive Minds technical consulting team on how to use the NX AM and AM Build Optimizer software as part of the reseller agreement, and Additive Minds will teach EOS customers how to use Siemens’ AM software solutions. In addition, the companies have already agreed upon a framework that will offer comprehensive technical support.
