Toolcraft AG, a global leader in additive manufacturing, enhanced its 3D metal printing processes by adopting Siemens NX software to unify its complete manufacturing workflow. Previously relying on multiple software solutions, the company faced complexity, traceability challenges and higher error risks across its multistep additive manufacturing process. By implementing NX as a single integrated platform, toolcraft streamlined design, simulation and production workflows while improving collaboration, reducing work time and ensuring full digital traceability across the manufacturing chain. The integrated digital thread enabled faster communication of design changes, higher accuracy and improved efficiency across industries such as aerospace, medical technology and automotive manufacturing.
-
Additive manufacturing workflow unified: NX enabled toolcraft AG to manage the entire additive manufacturing process within a single software environment.
