关于客户
3D Systems 总部位于南卡罗来纳州罗克希尔，是 3D 打印技术领域的领先创新者。该公司拥有丰富的成就历史，包括 1989 年发明立体光刻 (SLA) 3D 打印并实现商业化，以及 1992 年发明选择性激光烧结 (SLS) 并实现商业化。如今，3D Systems 的产品范围广泛的 3D 打印机用于各种行业的生产级制造，包括航空航天、汽车、患者专用医疗设备以及各种消费品、电子和时尚配饰。
挑战
3D Systems 是 3D 打印技术的先驱，纽约库珀休伊特 - 史密森尼设计博物馆邀请其参加一场重点展示创新软件和新制造方法的展览。我们面临的挑战是设计并 3D 打印出结构合理、重量轻的滑板，这种产品多年来基本保持不变。 3D Systems 团队旨在彻底改变滑板的设计和生产方式，目标是创造出比市场上其他滑板更轻的滑板。
解决方案
为了应对这一挑战，3D Systems 利用 SolidThinking Inspire 来优化传统滑板设计的板面和转向架。该软件用于生成 20-30 个不同的概念，对每个概念进行分析以识别设计中的弱点。随后，获胜的概念被细化为最终的 3D 打印设计。该板的甲板采用 3D Systems 的选择性激光烧结技术采用 PA-12 尼龙制造，而卡车则采用直接金属打印技术采用钛合金进行打印。未来的计划包括使用 Inspire 重新设计和打印滑板的轮子，以及使用玻璃填充尼龙打印的滑板的第二个版本以增加刚度。

Case Study
Airbus Soars with Wearable Technology
Building an Airbus aircraft involves complex manufacturing processes consisting of thousands of moving parts. Speed and accuracy are critical to business and competitive advantage. Improvements in both would have high impact on Airbus’ bottom line. Airbus wanted to help operators reduce the complexity of assembling cabin seats and decrease the time required to complete this task.
Case Study
Aircraft Predictive Maintenance and Workflow Optimization
First, aircraft manufacturer have trouble monitoring the health of aircraft systems with health prognostics and deliver predictive maintenance insights. Second, aircraft manufacturer wants a solution that can provide an in-context advisory and align job assignments to match technician experience and expertise.
Case Study
Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).

Aerospace & Defense Case Study Airbus
For the development of its new wide-body aircraft, Airbus needed to ensure quality and consistency across all internal and external stakeholders. Airbus had many challenges including a very aggressive development schedule and the need to ramp up production quickly to satisfy their delivery commitments. The lack of communication extended design time and introduced errors that drove up costs.
