The Siemens Innovation Center is a one-of-a-kind facility which offers a unique pairing of design with manufacturing, implementing robotics, rapid prototyping, scanning, digital tools, and on-site metal additive manufacturing. It was opened by Siemens Energy to provide rapid problem-solving in support of its energy operations.
Engineers at the Siemens Innovation Center were tasked to improve turbine maintenance by reducing off-site repairs and costly downtime. The team designed and 3D printed a circular saw-inspired cutback tool using their fleet of Markforged X7 printers within 4 weeks. When they realized that the Markforged carbon fiber material was actually robust enough to withstand field use, they started to put the tool into production.
Learn how the Markforged platform enabled Siemens Energy Innovation Center to provide a more robust customer solution while staying on the forefront of a competitive industry.
“Rapidly iterating with Markforged 3D printers has revolutionized the way we look at tooling. The Markforged platform gives us the ability to produce powerful, durable tools.” — Trent Almond, Mechanical Engineer, Siemens
