Siemens and GENERA jointly
accelerate the transformation to industrial serial applications in the field of
additive manufacturing via digital light processing
Siemens and GENERA join forces to industrialize the AM technology Digital Light Processing (DLP) from single machines to factory solutions
Siemens’ portfolio of IoT-enabled hardware, software and digital services will further propel GENERA’s fully automated clean DLP technology
GENERA, a global
leader in highly automated resin based additive manufacturing technologies, and
Siemens are cooperating in a comprehensive partnership. The aim is to
accelerate the adoption of the Digital Light Processing Technology for
large-scale production of industrial applications. The sweeping collaboration
will touch many aspects of GENERA`s business and is going to benefit end-users
in a variety of ways.
Siemens and GENERA join forces to industrialize the AM technology Digital Light Processing (DLP) from single machines to factory solutions

GENERA, a global
leader in highly automated resin based additive manufacturing technologies, and
Siemens are cooperating in a comprehensive partnership. The aim is to
accelerate the adoption of the Digital Light Processing Technology for
large-scale production of industrial applications. The sweeping collaboration
will touch many aspects of GENERA`s business and is going to benefit end-users
in a variety of ways.
The cooperation involves
the integration of Siemens technology in GENERA digital light processing
systems, including operational technology, information technology, and
automation. In addition, GENERA digital light processing solutions will be
fully integrated into Siemens simulation and planning tools for factory design.
For example, Siemens Digital Twin tools are now used to simulate all
combinations of the GENERA print and post processing machines G2 and F2 and
global plant planning, enabling fast and reliable decisions for factory
planning. The two companies will also be working on specific industrial-scale
projects involving data handling and environmental, health and safety topics.
For example, both companies work on designing the clean and safe large-scale
production of electronic plug-in connectors made with a recently approved
innovative UL 94 V-0 photoresin from specialty chemicals company ALTANA. This first prototype in a series of flame-retardant
materials can also be post-processed with demineralized water instead of
potentially environmentally harmful solvent-based washing fluids. “We are proud
of our partnership with Siemens to enhance the integration of our innovative
and unique additive manufacturing production process for industrial
applications. With the help of simulations, our customers can now precisely
determine the costs of the components and the output of our systems and carry
out well-founded and comprehensive production planning. This gives our
customers security in the use of our technology and clearly shows the
advantages and cost-effectiveness of our process”, explains Dr. Klaus
Stadlmann, Founder and CEO of GENERA. Siemens and GENERA will work together to
promote the benefits of GENERA`s digital light processing technology as fully
automated key technology solution for industrial applications. "Digital
Light Processing has a huge potential for clean and safe production of
industrial products. Compared to many other AM technologies it demands less
energy for operation which is beneficial for the users and helps to accelerate
its use in various industry branches. We are proud to collaborate with GENERA
on industrialization of this technology”, says Dr. Sonja Wolfrum, Senior Key
Expert Additive Manufacturing at Siemens Digital Industries.
Both companies will present the first results of their cooperation at
