Additively Manufactured Lightweight Constructionfor Rail Vehicles Topology-optimized Lightweight Structures for Stiffening Vehicle Segments in Rail Transport Additiv gefertigter Leichtbau für Schienenfahrzeuge Topologieoptimierte Leichtbaustrukturen zur Versteifung von Fahrzeugsegmenten im Schienenverkehr

Due to economic and ecological requirements, lightweight construction strategies for rail vehicles are becoming increasingly important. The development of a combined process chain of additive manufacturing processes addresses the production of topologyoptimized structures. Using AI-monitored robotics, the reinforcement of large train segments is realized. The additive processes used and technological development results are described.
