EOSPRINT software integrating to NX to build on additive manufacturing

This solution will be an important part of the Siemens overall additive manufacturing solution helping to deliver an integrated additive manufacturing process from design to advanced 3D printing with EOS printing machines.

The integration of the EOSPRINT software into NX, Siemens’ flagship solution for integrated computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering simulation (CAD/CAM/CAE), targets companies wanting to take full advantage of additive manufacturing for parts engineered for performance and 3D printed with repeatable quality. 

Based on this integration, users work in one single software system. As a result, process steps from digital part design up to the AM part building process are linked together to be performed quicker, easier and more reliably than before.

Serial manufacturing based on optimised workflows

Based on this co-operation, Siemens and EOS take a step towards the use of additive manufacturing for industrial serial production. The integration of EOSPRINT into NX will enable design engineers to take full advantage of the additive manufacturing possibilities for industrial 3D printing on EOS machines by connecting previously separate software tools for part design, simulation, data preparation and build job transfer.

EOSPRINT will plug into the NX environment, enabling design engineers to shape a product for additive manufacturing in one single integrated software setting. This eliminates file conversions between different software solutions and can significantly reduce the investment in time required to learn multiple tools. At the same time it enables an uninterrupted and associatively linked workflow in a consistent software environment. This will allow engineering changes to seamlessly update through the design-to-print preparation process, and the ability to transfer build jobs directly from NX to an EOS machine.

Zvi Feuer, Senior VP Manufacturing Engineering Software, Siemens PLM Software said: “To realise the full potential of our end-to-end additive manufacturing solution, Siemens is committed to working with technology partners like EOS to enable new solutions that drive advances in additive manufacturing capabilities and making the 3D printing of production parts a reality. “
