Siemens and TRUMPF Partner to Drive the Industrialization of Additive Manufacturing

Category:
Acquisition or Partnership

Laser system manufacturer TRUMPF and Siemens announced a partnership to help industrialize laser metal fusion technology and make the additive manufacturing process for metal parts an integral part of the production process.  The two companies are pooling their strengths and working together to develop a software solution for the design and preparation of 3D printed metal parts.  The aim is to integrate and streamline the entire powder-bed-based laser metal fusion (LMF) process for TRUMPF printing machines into Siemens NX software.  The comprehensive offering will address part design and engineering for additive manufacturing as well as 3D print preparation with integrated TRUMPF build processor technology.

The solution will integrate the recently announced NX software technology for additive manufacturing with the TRUMPF build processor and be sold with TRUMPF TruPrint Laser Metal Fusion printers.  The new software offers a standardized user interface across the end-to-end additive manufacturing process.  It addresses the entire digital process chain in a single, integrated associative software environment, eliminating the need to use separate standalone applications for part design and data preparation.  This new software package, TruTops Print with NX, brings all the necessary functions together into one new solution for the additive manufacturing of laser metal fusion parts with TRUMPF printing machines.
