    Innovating public transport with Additive Manufacturing and enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and supply chains.

    Public transport is incredibly diverse – whether it’s trams, buses, metros, ferries, or cable cars, each mode has unique challenges and opportunities. While Additive Manufacturing is already being explored in the sector, there’s a strong need for more open exchange and collaboration.

    This working group creates a space for transport operators, manufacturers, and AM experts to share ideas, experiences, and success stories. With MGA’s deep roots in rail and the expertise of our members, we’re working to bring innovative AM solutions to public transport—making it more efficient, sustainable, and future-ready.
