The benefits og large format 3D printing for railway

MANUFACTURING FLEXIBILITY
Design, test, and quickly iterate different large scale components to deliver innovation and to reconfigure railway vehicles: from prototyping to finished parts

QUALITY-FIRST
3D printed materials and parts today can reach safety-compliant standards and fire hazards (i.e., V0)

MINIMIZED VEHICLE DOWNTIMES
With digitalized inventory and localized production: lower costs and time on supply of spare parts, temporary or permanent substitutions, as well as large rolling stock components eliminating assembly and tooling

HIGH-PERFORMANCE MATERIALS
Find the most suitable qualified engineering-grade materials to serve your critical needs: flame-retardant, heat-resistant, and high mechanical performance

COST OPTIMIZATION
Cut development and manufacturing costs with flexible manufacturing solutions, deliver the future of mobility

GREENER PRODUCTION
Minimize waste and raw material usage at every stage of production: from prototyping to high-performance molds, and functional parts
