Autodesk and Siemens Sign Agreement to Increase Software Interoperability

Autodesk and Siemens have joined forces to address a growing challenge in the manufacturing industry: the inefficiencies caused by incompatible CAD software. The two tech giants, known for their leading roles in design and engineering tools, have signed an interoperability agreement designed to help manufacturers reduce costs and improve data integrity across multi-CAD environments. The partnership aims to streamline data sharing between Autodesk’s and Siemens’ product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions, making it easier for companies that use multiple CAD platforms to collaborate seamlessly. As more organizations rely on a mix of software from different vendors, the need for smooth integration has never been greater. This collaboration is expected to make workflows more efficient, cut down on rework, and ultimately lead to better products at lower costs. Lisa Campbell, Vice President of Manufacturing Strategy and Marketing at Autodesk, emphasized the importance of this move: “Interoperability is a top priority for our customers. We’re committed to creating a more open environment so users can work with the tools they need without unnecessary friction.” Dr. Stefan Jockusch of Siemens PLM Software added, “This partnership represents a significant step forward in promoting openness and reducing the barriers that come with using multiple CAD systems. It’s all about enabling smoother collaboration and helping manufacturers save time and money.” With over nine million licensed seats and a global customer base, Siemens PLM Software brings deep expertise in PLM and MOM solutions. Autodesk, known for its creative and design tools, continues to expand its ecosystem to support more integrated workflows. Together, these companies are setting a new standard for how design and engineering software can work together—benefiting not just large manufacturers, but also smaller firms and even individual creators who rely on digital tools to bring their ideas to life.

Plastic Film

PEEK is a high temperature resistant thermoplastic, with high glass transition temperature (143℃) and melting point (334℃), load heat deformation temperature up to 316℃ (30% glass fiber or carbon fiber reinforced grade)

PEEK(Polyether ether ketone) resin is a kind of high performance special thermoplastic material, which is one of the most important varieties of commercial polyether ketone resins. At present, polyether ether ketone is widely used in petroleum, food processing, automobile, aerospace and other fields with its excellent electrical properties, mechanical properties, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and so on.

PEEK rods

Model and color of PEEK rod:

1, PEEK5600G (brown gray/earth yellow) using pure polyether ether ketone resin as raw material manufacturing, in all PEEK levels of good toughness, good impact resistance. PEEK can be sterilized by convenient disinfection methods (steam, drying heat, ethanol and Y-ray), and the raw materials of PEEK meet the requirements of the European Union and the United States FDA for food suitability. These characteristics make it very popular in the medical, pharmaceutical and food processing industries.

2, PEeK-5600LF30 (black) add PTFE, graphite and carbon fiber results, make

Peek-5600lf30 becomes bearing grade plastic. Its superior friction properties (low friction coefficient, wear resistance, high peak pressure limit) make this grade an ideal material for friction applications.

3, PEEK-5600GF30 (brown gray) the material filled with 30% glass fiber reinforced plastic, has better rigidity and creep resistance than PEEK5600G, as well as better dimensional stability, the manufacturing of structural parts is ideal. It can withstand fixed load for a long time at high temperature. If the PEEK-5600GF30 is used as a sliding part, its adaptability should be carefully checked because the glass fiber scratches the mating surface.

4, PEeK-5600CF30 (black) The material filled with 30% carbon fiber reinforced, has better mechanical properties than PeeK-5600GF30 (higher elastic modulus, mechanical strength and creep) and more wear resistance, And the carbon-fiber reinforced plastic has 3.5 times the thermal conductivity of the unreinforced PEEK plastic and dissipates heat faster from the bearing surface.
