The solution enables a precise, automated calculation of the CO2 footprint per component &#8211; broken down by material, manufacturing process and post-processing. This enables the railroad to make reliable decisions to reduce its environmental impact and at the same time make production processes more efficient.\n<h4>Fruitful cross-university support<\/h4>\nThe three founders of 3D Spark, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/fritz-lange\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fritz Lange<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ruben-meuth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ruben Meuth<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/arndstruve\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arnd Struve<\/a>, originally come from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsu-hh.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Helmut Schmidt University &#8211; University of the Federal Armed Forces Hamburg<\/a> (HSU), where they started out with their start-up idea. Even at this early stage, they received support from Felix Krieg, an experienced start-up consultant at the Startup Port @TUHH. The cross-university collaboration between HSU and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tuhh.de\/tuhh\/startseite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hamburg University of Technology<\/a> (TUHH) once again underlines how the strong network of the <strong>Startup Port association<\/strong> can productively promote innovative ideas from science and strengthen the exchange between universities and institutions.\n<h4>Successful transfer from science to industry<\/h4>\nThe integration of 3D Spark&#8217;s CO\u2082 reporting tool into Deutsche Bahn&#8217;s production processes is also an example of the successful implementation of sustainable technologies in industry. It shows how start-ups can develop innovative solutions that have a positive impact on the environment and the economy through targeted support and cooperation with universities and consulting networks.\n\nRead more in the 3D Spark blog: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dspark.de\/blog-posts\/deutsche-bahn-approves-3d-sparks-co2-footprint-reporting-for-on-demand-spares-production\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Deutsche Bahn Approves 3D Spark&#8217;s CO\u2082 Footprint Reporting for On-Demand Spares Production<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hamburg-based start-up 3D Spark can celebrate a major success: Deutsche Bahn has approved the young company&#8217;s CO2 reporting tool for the production of on-demand spare parts.
