Siemens has collected more than 110,000 hours of operating experience of 3D printed components not only within its own power generation business but also servicing its customers from related industry in the end-to-end AM process from design and materials optimization until manufacturing, post-processing and certification. This presentation will show use cases of successful customer’s cooperation’s and highlight also challenges which had to be overcome.
