Siemens Gas and Power, ASME Partner to Develop Training Services

Siemens Gas and Power and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) have announced their collaboration on the development of training services in additive manufacturing (AM), that will be offered through Materials Solutions, a Siemens business, as an extension of its additive services portfolio. The agreement lays the groundwork for the creation of unique AM training solutions to better support Siemens’ customers on their additive journey. Siemens Gas and Power will bring technical application content and combine it with ASME’s competency model framework, agile course development methodology, and learning and development platform.

The course curriculum will cover the end-to-end additive value chain and offer customers real-world applications experience from developing business cases, design for AM, material considerations, through to printing and post-printing process know-how.

“The agreement between Siemens and ASME is another milestone to support further adoption of additive manufacturing as an industrialized technology,” explains Markus Seibold, vice president of Additive Manufacturing at Siemens Power Generation Operations. “Cross-industry collaborations to advance AM adoption will promote innovation in design, material development, and real, functional applications across the industry.”

ASME Executive Director/CEO Tom Costabile says, “Every day, additive technologies continue to change the manufacturing landscape. The combination of ASME’s agile course development methodology and Siemens’ wealth of real-world expertise in additive manufacturing enables us to share that knowledge through dynamic, practical learning experiences that will be readily accessible by customers and engineers everywhere.”
