The next generation of design requires that industries adopt a forward-thinking, futuristic approach. We have to think not only about what could make existing machines better and faster, but also about how systems and processes could be streamlined and how efficiency can be increased. Forward-thinking is increasingly important in the digital age. Digitalization allows us to put our ideas into action through digital twins. We don’t have to commit to costly hardware because we’re able to take...

In order for a product to physically manifest from its origins on the drawing board, a lot of work needs to happen. That usually means a lot of trial and error, which translates to time, money, and physical materials that often end up being discarded. Additive Manufacturing aims to change that process, from the ground up.  Through digital design, build preparation, and tool creation, additive manufacturing finds solutions using a highly advanced process of simulation. Today, we’re learning...

If you grew up watching the cartoon, “The Jetsons”, then flying cars, minimal traffic, and drones don’t seem so far away, anymore. But how will these vehicles look like? What will they be capable of doing? And more importantly, when will we be driving them? In today’s episode, Tom takes us on an automotive deep-dive into the trends in designing the future of the world’s transportation. We discuss the challenges that car manufacturers are facing when designing AVs, but also the advantages and...

If there’s anything we’ve learned so far, it’s that the design process is extensive. It’s not as simple as illustrating 3D drawing on a tablet and watching them come to life. Designing in the digital space calls for something a lot more advanced than that.  In this podcast series, we’ve seen how Siemens’s digital industry software presents its vision and strategy for NX, with its key message of breaking down barriers to innovation. In this episode, Tod Perrella and Mike Yoder explain the ins...

Technology is the future—but the future is now.  Technology is everywhere. Wherever there’s a source of electrical power, there’s tech involved. Behind every piece of technology, there are engineers responsible for its creation.  One of those engineers is Siemens’s Dave Walker, an electromechanical engineer at Siemens. He’s part of the equation creating the plethora of technology we have today. Dave and I talk about what electromechanical design actually is, why technology is evolving so...
