Phil Reeves is currently leading a project sponsored by the UK government and the British Standards Institute (BSI) looking at how senior business leaders and decision makers in industry and finance should approach the development and assessment of business cases for using 3D Printing. This will be published as a formal BSI standard later in the year. The project looks at the management factors of AM/3DP such as assessing risk, change management, technology evaluation, raising finance, supply chain development and skills.

Deutsche Bahn has already manufactured 7,000 components via 3D Printing or Additive Manufacturing, with over 120 applications in their trains and Infrastructure. The service and maintenance divisions of DB has to deal with rare components that are not always available on the market. In order to reduce costly stocks and improve quality and delivery times of these components, DB has adopted AM and 3D Printing in their service and maintenance operations. A true front runner in Europe. Stefanie will share examples of 3D printing, as well as her view on how this technology can be applied in other sectors since she knows from her network members what they realize and expect from the technology. Not only for rail...

Leading companies have already made the switch to optical metrology in the more traditional manufacturing processes such as plastic injection moulding, sheet metal forming and casting. As the additive manufacturing technologies are maturing, more and more companies introduce optical metrology in their processes. Using optical techniques for functional testing, process control and quality control offers many benefits, especially for 3D printed parts which are often complex, have free forms and are highly customized. The results of the different applications presented will show how and why optical metrology is implemented throughout the process and how it contributes to the maturity of additive manufacturing.

Meeting safety and industry standards is crucial for 3D Printed (spare) parts to be used in industry. Next to quality requirements, the 3D Printed parts also need to bring economic benefits. Berenschot and DNV-GL teamed up and manage a joint industry project in the Oil, Gas and Maritime sectors to develop an industry supported quideline to ensure that parts meet stated quality and are manufactured in a safe and repeatable manner. At the same time the economics of the demonstrator parts produced in the project are translated into a Business Impact Model. In the presentation Onno will share learnings and results on both aspects
