Toolcraft reveals five-axis additive manufacturing future powered by Siemens PLM software

Toolcraft GmbH, a German manufacturing company, is planning to apply full five-axis additive manufacturing (AM) technologies in the future after a successful initial adoption of 3D printing processes and Siemens PLM software.
The firm purchased its first AM machine in 2011, some 22 years after it was established. Now, in addition to dozens of CNC machines, the company boasts a total of eight powder bed additive manufacturing machines and is advancing to powder nozzle technology. Under one roof, Toolcraft can see the production of a part from design concept through to non-destructive testing and is catering to customers operating in such fields as aerospace, automotive and healthcare.
