After almost two years of intensive work, the working group Approval in Rail has reached a major goal: For the first time ever an additively manufactured, highly stressed and safety-relevant component has been approved for operational use.
But this first success is not the end of the story: The next milestones are within reach.
To avoid constant repetition of the cost-intensive work of the first stage for every new component, the working group wants to develop a generic approval path and calculation method for AM manufactured safety-relevant components in the railroad sector.
For this, however, the working group needs your support.
