Siemens presents virtual reference factory
Together with EOS and DyeMansion, Siemens presents the first virtual additive manufacturing reference factory for elective laser sintering and industrial post-processing.
Using a midsole for footwear applications, in which parameters such as design, fit and color are taken into account individually and economically, Siemens, EOS and DyeMansion are demonstrating what the next step towards the industrialization of selective laser sintering with polymers along the entire production chain could look like.
The EOS P 500, which can be seamlessly integrated into automated production, is used for volume production as part of the partnership. In the area of post-processing, the coordinated three-stage print-to-product workflow from DyeMansion enables scaling from prototyping or small series production to additive series production. The integrated Siemens automation can be integrated into the industrial shop-floor IT and offers optimized maintenance and operator guidance.
