Siemens has opened a new additive manufacturing facility under its Materials Solutions subsidiary in Worcester, UK. The plant will produce components for the next generation of electric and hybrid vehicles as well as other industrial applications. The experimental process, which is currently employed mainly in laboratory settings, will be used to produce high-performance metal parts, such as components for jet engines or gas turbines. The facility will also use a highly digitised production process, offering an end-to-end service to customers from a range of industrial sectors.
