Siemens PLM Software

Additive Manufacturing

Increase design innovation:

• Designers are no longer restricted by manufacturing constrains

• Complex parts simplified to one manufacturing process

• Performance optimization using advanced geometry

Reduction in Production cost

• Eliminate the financial, temporal and environmental cost of

transportation

• Eliminate inventory

• No need for expensive tooling, like molds

Scope over Scale:

• 1st product cost = 100th product cost

• Mass Customization vs. Mass Production

Sustainability

• On average consumes 90% less material



Fixed Plane Additive Manufacturing

• Fixed Plane Additive Manufacturing covers the build preparation process for powder bed solution

• Fully integrated with Siemens PLM solution

• Improve manufacturing efficiency and reduce print errors

Functionality Adaption Optimization Validation

Additive Manufacturing application

• Set of tools to support the data preparation process for Additive

Manufacturing

• CAD and CAM integration

• Added New Additive Manufacturing part file

• Supports both .prt files and different CAD files import

• Supports user defined customized templates.




Reduce time to market by saving time on data preparation,

printing and finishing

Add and position parts to the build according to the machine’s

dimensions:

• On machine setting, display predefined machine’s build tray: shape

and dimensions

• During parts positioning allows to detect collision between the parts

and the Build Tray

• Build Tray definition can be stored in a user defined template

• No-build zones can be manually added to the template

Quickly and Automatically nest multiple parts on the Build Tray

• Different configuration options to optimize the build by time, height or

density

• Avoid colliding parts

• Customized nesting algorithm constraints

• Consider Build Tray dimensions

Automatic support generation

• Ensure print quality when there are steep overhangs or

unsupported areas

• Allow wide variety of complex and detailed parts to be

printed

Capabilities

• Automatically identify critical areas that requires support

according to the surface angle

• Support different Support Structure’s type : Block, Line,

Point

• Customize support structure using different support

parameters (e.g. teeth, thickness, etc…)

Materialize Build processors

• The Build Processor is responsible for the communication between

Fixed Plane Additive Manufacturing software and the machines

• Interoperable with Materialise Build processor to support variety of

Additive Manufacturing machine vendors

• Slicing and hatching according to the machine and build parameters

• Machine-specific profile management

• Vendor-specific slice viewer
