EOS joins MindShare to promote 3D printing IoT integration 3D Printing Processes

by Design

Dr. Karsten Heuser, VP of AM at Siemens, has accurately stated that “AM companies are the digital natives of the manufacturing industry”. This accurate description reflects the fact that – as we have written before – the AM process is the heart of the automated production workflow. While this full process integration is still far from complete, it is ongoing and it passes through PLM, MES, and cloud software, all leading toward 3D printing IoT integration. EOS joining of Siemen’s MindShare IoT based operating system is yet another clear indication of this ongoing transition.
