"We weighed on-premise solutions and the cloud, and in the end, the cloud was the obvious choice. “Luckily, Siemens PLM had just launched its Active Workspace Client, a web interface for its Teamcenter environment that gave us the means to connect all of our data, along with easy-to-use access to all the connected pieces for a project and viewing in a manner that made sense.”Īfter deciding to move forward with Teamcenter and use the Active Workspace Client, Veranese and team then made a choice to host the Digital Storefront on AWS. We needed to use a web interface,” says Veranese. “We evaluated the Teamcenter solution and felt it could work for our organization, but we knew we needed to create an easy way for it to interact with users.

Siemens PLM recommended America Makes evaluate its product lifecycle management (PLM) Teamcenter software solution and AWS. The company began to work with Veranese to envision a new solution for the America Makes Digital Storefront. The Siemens PLM team understood the mission of the organization and the role technology could play in optimizing the project management and Digital Storefront user experiences. Siemens PLM Software is a member of the America Makes community, and the America Makes team interfaces regularly with the Siemens PLM business unit, a division of Siemens and an AWS Partner Network (APN) Advanced Technology Partner and Industrial Software Competency Partner. Using the Digital Storefront, members can identify, access, and consume intellectual capital assets and connect to America Makes’ Technology Development Roadmap. Each member connects and consumes data through the America Makes Digital Storefront. The organization’s formal Additive Manufacturing Technology Development Roadmap, developed to identify measurable and meaningful challenges that, when met, promote inquiry, knowledge-sharing, and technical advancements across the industry, is driven by its 230-member-strong community and $180 million resource portfolio. “We solve problems by bringing together stakeholders from academia, private industry, maker community, and government to help them structure a project team to craft a solution, solve a problem, build, and deliver a finished component to meet broader manufacturing needs.” The America Makes member community forms our core,” says Joe Veranese, business systems director at The National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining (NCDMM).
“Our mission is to help manufacturers solve material specification and design specification problems using advanced manufacturing, specifically through design for additive manufacturing practices.
America Makes helps a growing group of public- and private-sector stakeholders collaborate and connect the dots to solve problems and discover new opportunities by driving additive manufacturing into the US manufacturing base. Bringing organizations together to take advantage of AM increases the possibilities for innovation and problem solving across industries. By taking advantage of additive manufacturing (AM), a process that creates a physical object layer by layer from a digital design, products are created with greater specification and more efficiently compared to traditional methods.
