Haddy adopted the Siemens Xcelerator open digital business platform, to scale local additive manufacturing using circular materials across industries including furniture, marine and defense. Haddy uses Siemens Xcelerator to connect product design, manufacturing planning and automation through a consistent digital thread. Siemens' Designcenter software is used to design large-format parts produced through additive manufacturing and prepare those designs for robotic production.
Teamcenter software manages product data and configuration across sites, while SINUMERIK, Siemens' CNC control platform primarily for machine tools, is used to provide high-precision motion control and execution on the shop floor, including the integration of industrial robots. In Haddy's microfactories, SINUMERIK orchestrates robotic additive manufacturing systems, combining CNC-based path control with industrial robot kinematics, including CEAD's large-format robotic extrusion platforms. Haddy is expanding its use of Siemens' software, as the company scales its distributed production model. It has adopted Simcenter Optistruct software to assist with product optimization and validation of its large-scale products.
Alongside this, Haddy is leveraging NX X Manufacturing, a cloud-enabled manufacturing solution, to define build strategies, support NC programming, simulation and execution of complex large-format robotic additive manufacturing processes. Haddy also uses subtractive CNC machining as part of its production process using the same toolset providing advanced computer aided machining (CAM) part programming, simulation and verification capabilities. NX X Manufacturing allows Haddy to produce parts from the size of a shoe box to an entire boat with precision and quality, while inherent cloud accessibility means Haddy can meet the needs of its rapidly expanding business with low IT overhead while using value-based licensing tokens to expand production with additional software capabilities.
