Singapore, 11 November, 2016 – EOS, the global technology and quality
leader for high end Additive Manufacturing (AM) solutions has joined the
Siemens PLM Software Partner Program to collaborate on extending Siemens’
recently announced end-to-end additive manufacturing solution. EOS plans to
deliver a seamless integration of the EOS AM software EOSPRINT into Siemens’
NX™ software for the manufacturing industry. This solution will be an important
part of the Siemens overall additive manufacturing solution offering helping to
deliver an integrated and associatively linked additive manufacturing process
from design to advanced 3D printing with EOS printing machines.

The integration of the EOSPRINT
software into NX, Siemens’ flagship solution for integrated computer-aided
design, manufacturing and engineering simulation (CAD/CAM/CAE), targets
companies wanting to take full advantage of additive manufacturing for parts
engineered for performance and 3D printed with repeatable quality.  Based
on this integration, users work in one single software system. As a result,
process steps from digital part design up to the AM part building process are
linked together to be performed quicker, easier and more reliably than before.

Based on this co-operation Siemens
and EOS take a big leap towards the use of additive manufacturing for
industrial serial production. The integration of EOSPRINT into NX will enable
design engineers to take full advantage of the additive manufacturing
possibilities for industrial 3D printing on EOS machines by connecting
previously separate software tools for part design, simulation, and data
preparation and build job transfer.

EOSPRINT will plug into the NX
environment, enabling design engineers to shape a product for additive manufacturing
in one single integrated software setting. This eliminates file conversions
between different software solutions and can significantly reduce the
investment in time required to learn multiple tools. At the same time it
enables an uninterrupted and associatively linked workflow in a consistent
software environment. This will allow engineering changes to seamlessly update
through the design-to-print preparation process, and the ability to transfer
build jobs directly from NX to an EOS machine.

Zvi Feuer, Senior
VP Manufacturing Engineering Software, Siemens PLM Software said: “To realize
the full potential of our end-to-end additive manufacturing solution, Siemens
is committed to working with technology partners like EOS to enable new
solutions that drive advances in additive manufacturing capabilities and making
the 3D printing of production parts a reality.”

Dr. Adrian Keppler,
Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) at EOS concludes: “By simplifying the usability
of EOSPRINT, EOS addresses a clear customer requirement to further progress the
deployment of our technology. The integration of EOSPRINT into NX is a step in
this direction. Now design engineers can use a single integrated additive
manufacturing solution to both design and prepare parts optimized for 3D
printing.”
