The use of additive manufacturing is expected to grow as the energy industry transitions to clean energy. That’s because the production of clean energy is a more complex endeavor that requires more parts. As the transition continues we expect additive manufacturing also to continue maturing to include automation as well as the capability to print more parts faster at a lower cost. I’m your host, Ashley Eckhoff, and I’m joined by Kevin Sheehan, Head of Additive Manufacturing at Siemens Energy. He will share with us how additive manufacturing is applied in the energy industry. He’ll also share with us where he thinks Siemens energy is in its additive manufacturing journey.  In this episode, you will learn how additive manufacturing is applied to repairing broken parts. You’ll also learn about the role that software is playing in supporting additive manufacturing in the energy industry. Additionally, you’ll hear about the potential role that automation will play in this manufacturing approach. What You’ll Learn in This Episode:<ul>
<li>The future of blade printing using additive manufacturing (05:42)</li>
<li>Why swirlers are an attractive part to print (06:53)</li>
<li>The role Kevin sees software playing in the energy industry (10:24)</li>

The Impact of Additive Manufacturing on the Energy Industry

Additive manufacturing has the ability to remove many of the supply chain bottlenecks faced by companies in the energy industry. However, there is still some hesitancy towards fully embracing it as part of their go-to solutions. This is because the early adopters have not yet unlocked its full potential when combined with other tools such as design and simulation tools. I’m your host, Ashley Eckhoff, and I’m joined by John Nixon of Siemens Digital Industries Software and John Lusty, the Industry Lead for Energy &amp; Utilities Industry Marketing at Siemens Digital Industries Software. They’ll share with us the current state of additive manufacturing in the energy industry. In this episode, you’ll learn about the challenges that have slowed down the adoption of additive manufacturing in the energy industry. You’ll also learn about the role that simulation and automation are playing as the industry continues to digitalize. Additionally, you’ll learn about what has prompted increased digitalization within the industry in the last five years. What You’ll Learn in This Episode:<ul>
<li>The challenges slowing down the adoption of additive manufacturing (00:51)</li>
<li>The role that simulation is playing in the energy industry (07:55)</li>
<li>Areas within the energy industry that are embracing automation (11:15)</li>

Additive Manufacturing in the Energy Industry

Additive manufacturing (AM) has made it possible to manufacture lighter and stronger parts. It has also allowed software to play a bigger role and this has led to increased efficiency and flexibility. One of the biggest beneficiaries of AM has been the aviation industry, which encompasses the defense, aerospace, and space industries. Uniquely designed aviation parts can now be manufactured, tested, and certified within a relatively short time frame. Joining us today is Christina Kurth, Vice President of Sales at Sintavia LLC, a company that utilizes additive manufacturing to design and manufacture critical space, defense, and aerospace parts. She’ll share her insight on the impact that this approach is having on the aviation industry. In this episode, you’ll learn about the process Sintavia follows in manufacturing parts using AM and the role played by software. The techniques of validating the newly produced parts will be covered, as well as the categories of parts that are produced. We’ll also discuss the future of this transformative approach to manufacturing and its position in the Gartner hype curve. Some Questions I ask: <ul>
<li>What services does Sintavia provide for its customers? (3:29)</li>
<li>What kind of parts does Sintavia print for aerospace customers? (5:55)</li>
<li>How do space, defense, and aerospace customers differ in their requirements? (10:32)</li>
<li>What techniques are used to test and certify parts? (15:46)</li>
<li>What will additive manufacturing be used for a few years from now? (21:32)</li>
</ul> What You’ll Learn in this Episode: <ul>
<li>Aerospace adoption mix for space, aerospace, and defense (9:32)</li>
<li>The process of aerospace parts production (10:50)</li>
<li>The benefits of additive manufacturing over traditional manufacturing (12:02)</li>
<li>Techniques of validating newly manufactured aerospace parts (16:15)</li>
