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.
