A new, highly advanced innovation center was recently opened in Orlando, Florida, pairing design with manufacturing, implementing robotics, rapid prototyping, scanning, digital tools, and on-site metal additive manufacturing.
Siemens and Materials Solutions, a Siemens Business, have equipped the 17,000 sq. ft. center with the latest manufacturing and inspection technologies, enabling faster solutions for industry opportunities and encouraging innovation for the creation of advanced components and digital solutions, using automation tools such as robotic machines, 3D printer, and 3D scanners. The Siemens innovation center will focus on rapid problem solving supporting the company’s energy businesses, while Materials Solutions will offer additive services to support the innovation center and external customers. According to Siemens, this center is the first of its kind in the U.S.
“This center is unique, bringing together a multitude of our innovative processes under one roof,” said Tim Holt, COO of Siemens Gas and Power. “The combination of these competencies, with the 12 years of experience in metal additive that Materials Solutions brings, provides us with a distinctive capability to support the development of holistic additive solutions/services to our customers in our energy business, as well as in high-performance industries such as aerospace, automotive and others.”
