Over the past two years, Siemens has put 3D printing/additive manufacturing as much at the forefront of its digitalization strategy as it has its Mindsphere platform, enterprise data management and IIoT app development. In particular, I’m referencing, Siemens’ extension of its partnership with HP by connecting Siemens NX and SolidEdge software with HP’s Jet Fusion 3D 300/500 series printers, as well as the company’s work with Hackrod to demonstrate how digitalization can bring custom engineering and manufacturing to the masses via 3D printing.
