Vienna/Hamburg, April 22nd, 2025 – ÖBB-Technical-Service GmbH has entered a two-year enterprise agreement with 3D Spark, transitioning the previous collaboration to a long-term partnership. It aims to deepen the integration of 3D Spark into ÖBB-TS’s digital warehouse for enhanced spare parts management as well as improving ÖBB-TS’s procurement workflows for 3d printed parts.
The extended partnership follows ÖBB-TS’s successful deployment of 3D Spark’s software for automated Make or Buy decisions of AM parts, auto-quoting, live price indications from AM - suppliers, and large-scale spare part screenings. As highlighted in the recent case study, ÖBB-TS has achieved substantial gains in operational efficiency, and cost savings.
The new contract includes the implementation of rail-specific AI models for analysing 2D technical drawings and seamless integration of 3D Spark into ÖBB-TS’s Digital Warehouse and SAP systems - enabling even greater automation and data-driven decision-making across their supply chain.
This milestone further cements 3D Spark’s position as the world’s most comprehensive digital manufacturing ecosystem for the rail industry, serving leading operators and OEMs including Deutsche Bahn, ÖBB-TS, Alstom, Siemens Mobility, and many others.
“ÖBB-TS’s continued trust is a strong signal of the value we provide,” said Ruben Meuth, CEO & Founder of 3D Spark. “By combining precise manufacturability analysis and costing, with real-time supplier prices, we’re unlocking a new level of efficiency in Make or Buy decisions, improving resilience for rail supply chains.”
“3D Spark combines technical excellence with a unique understanding of the rail sector,” said Patrick Klein, Application Engineer at ÖBB. “Over time, they’ve earned our trust through results and responsiveness. With this long-term agreement, we’re confident we have the right partner to shape the future of our spare parts and procurement strategy.”
