  • More than 10 years of AM design and simulation  experience 
  • 50+ qualified AM components for serial manufacturing
  • >1,500,000 operating hours of AM parts in our own gas turbine fleet
  • Extensive AM material database
  • Designs based on the highest standards for power generation and transmission and oil and gas
  • More than 15 years of experience with laser powder-bed fusion technology
  • Multiple years of experince with printing design optimization
  • State of the art fully automated AM factories with more than 30 metal LPBF printers
  • Serving multiple high-end industries including aerospace, racing, aviation, and energy
  • Experienced in prototyping, small-series, and high-volume 

Our highly experienced AM design engineers support you with designs for additive manufacturing, part performance optimization, and special applications for all industries and a variety of printing technologies. 

 

Let's get physical! We take the physics into the digital world and simulate the reality.

Qualifying the printing processes and parts and defining the quality assurance procedures are the final steps in industrial grade serial production. Make it happen with our help.

 

L-PBF process chain: each step qualified for serial production

 

Full end-to-end process definition, including design optimization, process qualification, post processing, and quality assurance – to get the highest-performing part at the lowest cost in serial manufacturing.

AM material data services

Siemens Energy produced a tremendous amout of material data over the last decades for conventional and AM materials that can be leveraged to reduce customer's development costs and accelerate AM programs.

We have an extended data set available for a variety of materials, including AM process parameters.

We can set up entire material programs to fully qualify materials and prepare external certifications for our customers.
