Farsoon Technologies met with partners from Siemens China to strengthen their strategic partnership for integrated industrial solutions for additive manufacturing (AM).

Jack Cheng, Farsoon board member and deputy general manager, and Don Xu, Farsoon board member and global business group director, led the factory tour and showcased Farsoon’s latest AM machine solutions that target large-scale series production. During the follow-up meeting, Dr. Karsten Heuser, vice president of Siemens Additive Manufacturing, explored many in-depth topics with the Farsoon team on pushing the boundaries of AM toward industry 4.0.

Siemens and the Farsoon R&D team will continue the Siemens NX software integration on Farsoon’s metal and plastic open platform AM systems to offer end-to-end machine software solution targeting production-scale application projects. Both parties will also enhance the application of Siemens automation and drive solutions in Farsoon AM machines with Siemens solutions given priority consideration when selecting for Farsoon’s future machine development and production.

Siemens will offer Farsoon 3D printing users with high-performance and streamlined “design-to-manufacture” factory automation solutions with its expertise in industrial digital manufacturing. Farsoon users can choose Siemens Financial Services to provide creative purchasing solutions customized to the budget, making easy access to the latest technology for future success.

With a comprehensive AM technology know-how, Farsoon says it is open to work with Siemens for unique machine solutions and configurations to best suit Siemens’ application needs in aerospace, health care, automotive and industry manufacturing.

“Siemens as an industry leader in automation and manufacturing software/hardware solutions is a key partner for Farsoon Technologies as we work to increase adoption of additive technology in large scale manufacturing applications,” says Dr. Xu Xiaoshu, Farsoon founder and CEO of Farsoon. “As a long-term partner of Siemens, we are excited to increase the scope and pace of collaboration in future products and solutions, and I look forward to a close collaboration between our two companies going forward.”

Farsoon and Siemens have a long cooperation history. “Our colleagues in U.S. and China both give many positive comments on (the) Farsoon machine,” says Dr. Karsten Heuser, vice president for Siemens Additive Manufacturing. “In the future, we will see in-depth collaboration of both companies and more Siemens solutions integrated on Farsoon Machine.”

With the established framework for integrated AM solutions, Farsoon and Siemens team will combine their expertise to expand the true industrial applications of additive manufacturing.
