Hitachi Rail chooses ROBOZE for its pioneering additive technology for railway spare parts
ROBOZE, a global leader in additive manufacturing for high-performance materials, is proud to announce its collaboration with Hitachi Rail, a pioneer in the railway sector. Hitachi Rail has chosen the ROBOZE ARGO 500 solution to operate in its high-tech factory in Naples, in Italy, and its new digital, state-of-the-art rail factory in Washington County, Maryland. The solution enables Hitachi Rail to implement industrial 3D printing technology, using materials such as ULTEM™ 9085 and Carbon PEEK for the production of spare parts for its trains.
The railway industry constantly faces the challenge of availability and costs associated with the production of spare parts. ROBOZE’s additive manufacturing technology offers a concrete solution to this problem, enabling faster and more cost-effective production compared to traditional machining methods. With the implementation of the ARGO 500 solution, Hitachi Rail can now replace traditionally machined metal parts, significantly reducing costs and delivery times.
The collaboration between Hitachi Rail and ROBOZE extends beyond the mere supply of machines. Hitachi Rail will also benefit from the engineering services and consulting provided by ROBOZE’s expert teams, both in the United States and Italy, ensuring continuous and highly specialized support.
