In the future collaboration, the companies plan to equip the entire BeAM machine fleet successively with Sinumerik One. In addition, the companies want to implement BeAM AM machines in the integrated additive manufacturing solutions of the Digital Enterprise portfolio. This means that joint developments and adaptations to CAD / CAM functions in Siemens NX can be tackled. Closer cooperation is also planned in terms of data management with Teamcenter, implementation in MES / MOM systems, process control and support for process monitoring and service functions from Siemens MindSphere and Edge functionality. "The rapid industrialization of additive manufacturing goes hand in hand with digital transformation and can only be achieved through close cooperation between experts in software and hardware and in industrial 3D printing, as is the case with Siemens and BeAM. Through the use of digital twins throughout the value chain from virtual design to creation of the actual component, digitalization in additive manufacturing ensures maximum efficiency, productivity and data transparency for the entire production process as well as maximum quality for the manufactured component," explains Uwe Ruttkamp, Head of Machine Tool Systems at Siemens Digital Industries.

BeAM, created in December 2012, is a pioneer in designing and producing industrial metal additive manufacturing machines using the DED technology (Directed Energy Deposition). BeAM works closely with its customers and business partners to develop and industrialize manufacturing and repair processes with feasibility assessments, pilot production, sales of systems, training and technical support. BeAM is headquartered in Strasbourg, France and has two Solutions Centers, one in Cincinnati, Ohio and one in Singapore. This global presence of engineers trained by BeAM contributes to accelerating the adoption of its innovative technology, while offering engineering services for local industrial companies. DED is an Additive Manufacturing process where focused thermal energy is used to fuse materials by melting them as they are deposited. In June 2018, BeAM joined the AddUp Group, a manufacturer of 3D printing machines and production lines based in Clermont-Ferrand. AddUp is a joint-venture between Fives and Michelin, which employs more than 380 people. More information: www.beam-machines.com
