Innovation in Networks, Energy, and Rail: Additive Manufacturing as a Game Changer in Vienna

20 Nov 2025

Gain exclusive insights into how the Wiener Stadtwerke Group is leveraging Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) to transform Vienna’s infrastructure. This presentation explores how 3D printing is being implemented as a true game changer across the Group’s diverse companies: Central Coordination: Discover the key role of Wiener Netze—Vienna’s network operator—as the Group’s central Competence Center for Additive Manufacturing. It coordinates all 3D printing activities and fosters essential synergies across the organization. Group-Wide Applications: Learn which major companies form part of the Wiener Stadtwerke Group—including Wien Energie, Wiener Linien, Wipark, Bestattung Wien, and others—and what specific components are being printed. These range from energy sector parts to elements used in urban mobility.

Deep Dive: Wiener Linien: A spotlight on the transport sector. Through real-world use cases from Wiener Linien (Vienna’s public transport provider), we demonstrate how 3D printing addresses challenges in spare parts management for subways and trams. Discover how Additive Manufacturing enables fast production of parts that are obsolete, costly, or difficult to stock—reducing downtime and extending vehicle lifespans.

This session offers a comprehensive overview of the strategic role of 3D printing in building a sustainable, efficient, and future-ready infrastructure for Vienna.

Speakers: 
Philipp Pink, Head of Competence Center 3D-Printing Wiener Stadtwerke, Wiener Netze GmbH
Franziska Dietrich, Application Engineer Additive Manufacturing, Wiener Linien GmbH
