A few months ago, additive manufacturing solutions company Stratasys announced a major partnership with global engineering and technology solutions leader Siemens. Now, the two companies are working together again: the Mobility Division of Siemens will be producing customized final production parts, using Stratasys FDM 3D printing technology, for German transport services provider Stadtwerke Ulm/Neu Ulm (SWU) Verkehr GmbH. The division originally had to purchase tools or machinery to manufacture replacement parts for the rail industry, which takes time and money; the company could only take orders for 10 parts or more, as the production cost was not justified for low volumes. Now, Siemens Mobility is using a Stratasys Fortus 900mc Production 3D printer to print low-volume, final tram parts in just days, in comparison to the weeks it takes to make the parts using conventional manufacturing methods.
