Siemens Energy Improves Service Efficiency with Markforged
|
“The Markforged printers have allowed our engineers to be more innovative, by encouraging them to fail fast. It’s a change in design philosophy.” — Clifford Hatcher, Director of the Siemens Energy Innovation Center
The Siemens Innovation Center is a one-of-a-kind facility that 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 continuous carbon fiber material was actually robust enough to withstand field use, they started to put the tool into production.
Read how the Markforged platform enabled Siemens Energy to provide a more robust customer solution while staying at the forefront of a competitive industry.
