 PDF Key takeaways: Hannover Messe, April 2018, proved a perfect stage for Siemens AG Group and Siemens PLM Software to prove what’s available with Additive Manufacturing (AM). Siemens, the largest of 5,000 exhibitors covering 27 halls, had significant presence in both Hall 6 for Digital Factory solutions and Hall 9 for Integrated Automation, Motion & Drives. Customers expectations of AM are changing; they are now asking Siemens what’s possible with AM in production. Siemens is well positioned to help customers answer this question. Proof that AM is turning industrial and is all digital came from a visit to small engineering services firm Toolcraft GmbH from Georgensgmünd Germany. Using Siemens NX and Metal Laser Melting (MLM) equipment, they serve a global customer base including leading US house-hold name aerospace companies. Analyst Event A group of AM industry analysts from around the world were privileged to attend a series of events built around the annual Hannover Messe industrial

 PDF Sponsored by Infor Key takeaways: Manufacturers are facing both increasing market velocity and product complexity. The trend toward smart, connected products requires new skills, tools, and workflows to ensure market success. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) strategies and enabling solutions must evolve to meet these challenges. Introduction The pace of change in product realization today is staggering and increasing at an exponential rate. Many product categories have evolved from simple to complex, smart, and connected. Computerized components, sensors, digital displays, speakers, voice activation, and blue-tooth capabilities are being added to a wide selection of products, from toys to appliances. Today, customers in both the business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) spaces expect frequent new product releases and new products that embrace the latest technology. Competing in a global market requires extended value chains that provide more than just components. Many companies rely on their value chain partners to co-innovate to bring new products and services to market. Much
