In January, the RAILiability working group met at our premisses in Berlin. It deals with concrete rail-specific challenges of Additive Manufacturing. Parts are to be compared, similarities identified and solutions worked out.
We are glad that Felix Spiess from ÖBB will take over the leadership of the working group.
The next big step is the signing of a MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) at a press conference as part of the AM Forum Berlin on 15.03.2019.

Internationalization

At the last board meeting it was decided to focus the internationalization efforts on Europe. The inclusion of European subsidiaries or dependencies has advantages, among others, in the timing of meetings. Nevertheless, suitable partners for strengthening the network will continue to be sought on the international market. In addition to membership of the network, these partnerships can also support an exchange of information for the mutual benefit of both parties.

US Army at MgA

http://amxe.net/u3e7n35v/s_8xqmdkhf/files/USArmy.jpg

In mid-December, the US Army specifically visited us, and we were struck by the parallels in spare parts printing for commercial vehicles and infrastructure. Our network members bigrep, Fraunhofer IAPT, Trinckle 3D, Deutsche Bahn AG, GEFERTEC, 3YOURMIND, Bionic Production and APWORKS impressively represented the AM location Germany with their solutions. On the following day there was an exciting meeting with the DB and the Bundeswehr. Learning: the spare part related breakdowns are better under control for the railways, even better in perspective due to AM.

The areas of deployment in the armed forces are, however, more diverse and more strongly influenced by environmental conditions and regulation.
Follow-ups were agreed directly. We intent to establish this workshop format inside Mobility goes Additive for targeted exchange with sectors with high potential.
