Workshop
Approval in Rail
Focuses on obtaining approval for 3D-printed safety-critical components in rail transport.
Regulatory boundary conditions and approval procedures form an essential influence- and success-factor for the establishment of new production technologies.
When MGA was founded, the regulatory approval of additively manufactured, safety-relevant components especially for rail traffic systems was identified as a priority topic. This working group focuses on the following topics, to advance the additive manufacturing of safety-relevant (spare-) parts:
Dr. Maximilian Kunkel

Reduction of approval hurdles
Reduction of rail-specific approval hurdles for AM parts through cross-sectoral cooperation
Development and introduction
Development and introduction of a generic qualification path for the approval of safety-relevant components within the railway sector to abolish recurring, part-specific approval procedures with inherent cost- and time-intensive efforts.
