Siemens is to pump £27m into what will be Britain's biggest 3D printing factory in Worcester, England. The German industrial giant will make the investment through Materials Solutions, a company it acquired in 2016. Opening in September,Siemens aims for the new factory to become a "global centre of excellence" employing top class engineers, metallurgists and manufacturing specialists in 3D printing, serving the aviation, automotive and motor sports sectors. The factory also manufactures burner heads (for Siemens gas turbines) that have to withstand extreme conditions during commercial power plant operation.
