Within the scope of the special exhibition “Metal meets Medical“ initiated by the VDW, Siemens will present, in cooperation with several partners, solutions ensuring efficient processes and superior productivity in medical engineering, which are applied in the manufacture of unique parts and the mass production of standard workpieces, in Hall 15, Booth E3. Besides Siemens as a manufacturer of CNC systems, industry leaders from the machine tool, tool, lubricant, measuring technology and CAD/CAM sectors also participate in this exhibition.

Production planning with Teamcenter and NX CAM is demonstrated in a virtual factory. The focus is placed on the holistic planning and implementation of the major production steps performed on the workpiece, the efficient use of resources as well as process standardization and continuous process improvement.

In the Technology Arena, trade fair visitors can convince themselves of the added value of complete solutions for CNC manufacturing exemplified by real applications. Medical products will be manufactured live on machine tools applying various machining technologies. Highlights include the manufacture of customized knee implants on the basis of CT pictures using the SINUMERIK 840D sl.

The exhibition program is rounded off by a Technical Forum organized by the magazine DeviceMed, including interesting presentations and expert discussions on medical issues.
