Additive manufacturing process management

Printing at a small scale or an industrial scale requires process management that goes beyond spreadsheets and email.

Manage your additive process from order to shipment

Managing additive manufacturing production goes beyond taking orders and filling them. To get the most from your additive manufacturing investment, you need to track materials, maximize printer uptime, and manage the entire process from order to shipment with maximum efficiency.

Siemens Additive Manufacturing Network

Leverage the Siemens Additive Manufacturing Network, an online order-to-delivery collaboration platform for the industrial additive manufacturing (AM) community. It connects the additive ecosystem, simplifies the collaboration process and streamlines the print production process. The network digitizes and consistently improves your processes, ultimately accelerating the value of using additive manufacturing.

Quality and analytics

Get the most from AM through a quality process that includes a strong set of internet of things (IoT) and analytics solutions. Siemens provides the ability to monitor the AM process, analyze the resulting data, and act upon that data with part and process improvements. This closed feedback loop allows you to feed insights back into upstream phases of the additive manufacturing process, optimizing next-generation innovation.
