MESA, AZ, USA, Aug 12, 2024 – Rosotics, a leader in large-scale metal additive manufacturing, and Siemens, a global powerhouse in industrial automation and controls, are excited to announce the two companies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop and bring operational a ‘next generation, super-heavyweight class’ platform that promises to revolutionize naval manufacturing and adjacent industries.
The platform, described by Rosotics as designed to undertake “the most challenging production effort ever yet attempted in naval engineering” will be supported by Siemens’ industry-leading architecture, Sinumerik One, known for its unparalleled precision and efficiency. Rosotics and Siemens will work in tandem to expand metal additive manufacturing to scales thought previously unattainable, setting entirely new standards for industry.
As a key highlight of the partnership, Rosotics stated that a direct result of their combined effort will be a significant milestone for all realms of manufacturing that will be “historically known, on the order of describing an event in manufacturing heritage as profound as the first time steel was produced”. While each partner is holding off on immediate details, each shared that the platform will be intelligent in nature and based on the Mjolnir print architecture currently deployed on Rosotics’ commercial platforms, as well as will provide for the ability to produce structures at exceptional scale in order to serve the needs of heavy industrial sectors.
“We are thrilled to work with Siemens on creating this remarkable architecture; their shared commitments to sustainable manufacturing and deep capabilities in complex kinematics will be paramount drivers of this endeavor.” said Christian LaRosa. “Their demonstrated heritage in renewable energy speaks volumes to us and we do value it. We each carry optimism.”
“Siemens is excited to join forces with Rosotics in this groundbreaking endeavor,” described Siemens. “The integration of Sinumerik One with Rosotics’ advanced manufacturing system for this effort will create a platform of immense significance, capable of addressing the most complex production challenges in the naval industry.”
The partnership between Rosotics and Siemens underscores a mutual dedication to innovation, excellence, and redefining the boundaries of what is possible in manufacturing. The next generation platform is set to completely redefine standards and expectations in naval production, marking a new era of technological advancement and forming new perceptions of additive manufacturing as an industry.
