德国铁路公司庞巴迪运输已经安装了Stratasys F9003D printer at its柏林西北部的Hennigsdorf设施。
The F900 FDM/FFF printer will be used for the production of tooling, prototyping, and end-use parts for trains and trams. The parts will be included in Bombardier’s manufacturing operations for DACH countries including Germany, Austria, Switzerland.
André Bialoscek, Head of Vehicle Physical Integration Hennigsdorf at Bombardier, said, “The Stratasys F900 3D Printer allows us to widen our service offering in such a way that we are now able to 3D print large spare parts, customized rail parts, and manufacturing tools – all in-house and on-demand.”
在庞巴迪公司的轨道上
Founded in 1942,Bombardier最初是雪地摩托的制造商。该公司现在是全球，也是飞机，火车，通勤地铁，公共汽车和其他工业车辆（如Snowcat）的最大制造商之一，这是一种轨道上的轨道车辆。
Bombardier Transportation是Bombardier Inc.的铁路设备部门。它生产了客运火车，机车，底盘，用于火车，控制和推进系统。2001年，庞巴迪运输公司从DaimlerChrysler。通过此次收购，庞巴迪运输成为最大的铁路设备制造商。
随着Stratasys F900 3D打印机的安装，Bombardier Transportation预计会有显着增长。Bialoscek说：“以前使用玻璃纤维和锡用于火车组件，现在可以利用ULTEM 9085树脂符合我们的应用标准，并在减少与传统材料相关的成本和冗长的交货时间方面将我们提升到了一个新的水平。”
3D printing in railway
有了这样的主动权，来自庞巴迪（Bombardier）Mobility Goes Additive项目来自德意志·巴恩（Deutsche Bahn）, and a commitment from天使火车和ESG Railit is safe to say that 3D printing’s application on the railways is gaining traction.
Adding further insight Andreas Langfeld, President EMEA Stratasys, said, “Bombardier Transportation’s investment in our F900 3D Printer is synonymous with the huge interest we’re seeing in the mobility sector for industrial-grade 3D printing solutions […] We look forward to working closely with Bombardier Transportation to support the deployment of this technology within their operations and enable them to produce customized rail parts on-demand – faster and more cost-effectively than ever before.”
“Our FDM-based additive manufacturing technology offers rail companies and maintenance service providers advanced, rail-certified materials, large build trays for bigger rail parts, and importantly, the highest level of print reliability and repeatability in the industry.”
