In this week’s episode we bring you our super closing session from this year’s TCT Show featuring Vynce Paradise, Head of Advanced Manufacturing at Siemens PLM Software.

In this talk Vynce discusses how partnerships are key to driving the industrialisation of 3D printing. We saw this in the recent partnership between Stratasys and Siemens on the huge Robotic Composite 3D Demonstrator which combines Stratasys’ additive manufacturing knowledge and Siemens’s manufacturing software expertise to build a machine that can produce large complex composite parts at rapid speeds.

Throughout the talk we hear examples of how Siemens is pushing this through other partnerships with high-profile machine manufacturers, and what challenges the industry faces to truly integrate 3D printing into large scale manufacturing workflows.
