Another sofware and manufacturing collaborations in 3D sector are increasing. Industrial plastic and metal printing provider EOS aims to have cost saving and efficiency with Siemens softwares.
EOS, in that sense adopted Siemens’ CAD, CAM and CAE services provider NXTM. The company is expected to have energy, cost and time saving by integrating this software into its production process.
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.
