Excerpt from the eBook:

Germany-based EDAG Group, a leading automotive industry supplier, discovered that time-to-market cannot be compromised even when adopting cutting-edge bionic designs and additive manufacturing technologies. With the rapid shift toward automotive electrification, EDAG’s mission is to stay competitive by embracing innovation.

By leveraging digital twin technology, EDAG unified generative engineering, simulation, and 3D print preparation within a single digital ecosystem.
The results were remarkable:
 Design time reduced by 50%
Streamlined processes from concept to production

“We demonstrated that additive manufacturing is also suitable for high-volume production to solve real challenges in the automotive industry.”— Sebastian Flügel, Scalebat Project Leader, EDAG

The Advantage of Using One Solution for Part Manufacturing

Modern part manufacturing becomes more efficient and connected with Siemens NX™, an all-in-one solution that delivers seamless integration from digital design to final production.

With NX, manufacturers can:
 Streamline the entire manufacturing workflow — from 3D digital models to finished parts.

 Automate CNC programming using advanced, feature-based machining and intelligent process recognition.
Control robotic cells and drive 3D printing operations directly within the same platform.
Simulate and verify manufacturing processes to eliminate errors before production.
 Monitor product quality in real time for continuous improvement.

By unifying design, engineering, and manufacturing in one digital ecosystem, NX empowers part manufacturers to accelerate production, reduce costs, and achieve higher precision — all while staying agile in today’s fast-changing industry.
