China3D printingNet March 9th, in the past, Siemens Transportation Services used Stratasys’3D printingThe system manufactures parts for the railway industry in Germany and the United Kingdom, so the3D printingInvestment in technology to expand its railway maintenance business in Russia.
Two new industrial-grade Stratasys Fortus 450mc 3D printingThe machine will be used for spare parts production to support another 13 high-speed Velaro trains. Siemens Mobile will manufacture parts for the Russian train company RZD.

These 13 new trains will be added to the existing 16-vehicle fleet, and a 30-year agreement has been signed to maintain these trains. RZD’s third Velaro order will bring the total number of high-speed trains to 29.

In the next 30 years,SiemensIt is expected that the train’s availability record will exceed 99%. By storing all component data online in a centralized database, the team can quickly access, print and replace faulty parts, thus ensuring that train downtime is minimized.

“It is impossible to actually obtain these availability data only through external parts procurement and traditional manufacturing techniques, but Stratasys’ FDM 3D printingThe machine allows us to produce parts in-house in a cost-effective manner, thereby partially eliminating the need for warehouses or tools. “Alexey Fedoseev, head of customer service at Siemens Russia, said, “We have seen the success of Siemens’ easy-assembly parts business in Germany. Compared with traditional manufacturing methods, this technology has saved us 95% of parts time.
The additional manufacture and delivery of 13 new Velaro trains will allow us to work with multiple vehicles for long periods of time within very strict time constraints. therefore,3D printingIt is the perfect add-on component that helps us with production and provides us with the flexibility to replace and create parts anytime, anywhere. “

Stratasys Siemens Strategic Account Manager Bjoern Richter said: “Because of3D printingWith the function of improving efficiency, railway maintenance and service providers continue to use this technology to improve customer service. It is not surprising that the level of maintenance and parts manufacturing is undoubtedly a pioneer in this regard. And the popularity of transportation.We will continue to work closely to ensure that our solutions can best meet the specific needs of the industry and explore the field of transportation3D printingBrand new application. “
