RAILiability

The railways in Europe are major drivers of additive manufacturing and they have a great interest in bringing more AM applications to the market. Implementing a new technology into a market cannot be done overnight, it especially needs these applications.

This Working Group is for rail providers only but opening up to new technologies/materials and to collaboratively address problems together with industrial partners. If you want to apply or share your ideas with the group, please reach out to Linus Tillmann. Thank you for your understanding.

This working group is a protected space for railway companies to share knowledge, to reach 100% availability of spare parts and rolling stock and to optimize supply chain costs.

Already this cooperation helps new players to accelerate much faster and has achieved that 3D printing requirements are integrated into the tender for new rail vehicles.

Defense

How can AM revolutionize the way we design, produce, and maintain critical components for the defense sector?

Construction

How can Additive Manufacturing enrich the construction industry and make it more sustainable?

Vehicles + Machines

How can we push AM on wheels and beyond to the next level and what are the future use cases?

Aero + Space

With which materials, designs, standards do we get more printed parts into the air/space?

Digital Supply Chain

What are the problems for every link in the supply chain and how can we AM-optimize it?

Ecological Sustainability

How can the ecological impact of AM parts be assessed and what are the qualifcation principles?

Education

How can we educate and train employees and bring reasearch to its full potential?

Materials

What are the users requirements for materials and standards to create the optimal product?

Approval in Rail

How can we gain approval for 3D printed safety relevant components for rail traffic?
