Now that most of the new build rolling stock in Britain is acquired on basis of design-build-maintain, with the manufacturer under obligation to deliver a set level of reliability and availability of the fleet, it’s unsurprising that rolling stock manufacturers are exploring ways to cut maintenance costs and increase efficiencies in the supply chain. Paragon Rapid Technologies, through its AM Technologies brand, offers a possible set of solutions.

Additive Manufacturing (or 3D printing in old money) is driving supply chain transformation. It's eliminating a need for new tooling. It's improving market responsiveness by cutting down on lead times. It's lowering handling costs. Are you doing it?

When Agrifac launched their new Milan model, hailed as the most innovative trailed crop protection sprayer in the world, they found they needed to make some adaptations in design to retain spray efficiencies. After some serious research, it appeared the best solution was to 3D print the nozzles. It transpired, however, that traditional 3D print products just weren't robust enough to withstand the rigours of field spraying. Digital Light Synthesis can deliver detailed geometries in some pretty durable resins and delivers on economies of scale.
