Siemens Discusses Industrialization of 3D Printing at New CATCH Lab in NC

by | May 13, 2022

Summary

The Charlotte Advanced Technology Collaboration Hub (CATCH) in Charlotte, NC, led by Siemens Digital Industries, Siemens Technology, and Siemens Energy, is the site of new research and development meant to aid customers in the industrialization of additive manufacturing. The center is also exploring the use of how augmented, virtual, and mixed reality can be applied to examine additive manufacturing in new ways.

Siemens Discusses Industrialization of 3D Printing at New CATCH Lab in NC

Siemens has already had a substantial role in the additive manufacturing (AM) industry for some time. Not only has the German technology company seen its industrial controls integrated into countless 3D printers, but its software is involved in everything from design to production to quality control. However, more recently, the company’s moves in AM have become bigger and much more visible.

The latest is the opening of the Charlotte Advanced Technology Collaboration Hub (CATCH) in Charlotte, NC. Led by Siemens Digital Industries (DI), Siemens Technology and Siemens Energy, the site is a new research and development facility meant to aid customers in the industrialization of AM. To learn more about the location, we spoke to members of the Siemens team, Dr. Hallee Deutchman, Head of Research in Materials and Industrialized Manufacturing (US) for Siemens Technology, and Tim Bell, Additive Manufacturing Business Manager, Siemens Digital Industries.
