Deliverable D17.1 Use cases and specifications
Output type:
So far, the use of additive manufacturing for the repair of metal components in the railway industry has not yet seen significant adoption. These activities remain mainly labour-intensive and insufficiently industrialised. Therefore, there is considerable room for improvement and progress in the sector. On the other hand, the use of different additive manufacturing technologies with polymers for the development of railway spare parts is somewhat more developed than in the case of the repair of metallic railway elements, but even so it also has a wide field of work, in which important improvements can be made together with the development of their digital storage.
