Edit "Could ARCEMY®, Wire Additive Manufacturing (WAM®) technology from AML3d be used for this

Absolutely—it’s a compelling fit. ARCEMY®, powered by AML3D’s Wire Additive Manufacturing (WAM®) technology, is designed for **large-scale, high-strength metal components**, making it well-suited for fabricating **railway bogie frames** and subassemblies.Here’s why it could work:- **Material compatibility**: ARCEMY® systems can print with a wide range of weldable metals, including **medium to high-strength steels and stainless steels**, which are commonly used in bogie construction.- **Part size and scalability**: The system is scalable and capable of producing **large, heavy-duty parts**, which aligns with the structural demands of bogies.- **Lead time and cost efficiency**: WAM® enables **on-demand, near-net-shape production**, potentially reducing both **lead times and material waste** compared to traditional casting or forging.- **Proven in critical industries**: ARCEMY® has already been adopted by **defence and marine sectors**, including the US Navy’s submarine supply chain, for mission-critical components.That said, bogies are safety-critical and subject to rigorous certification. While ARCEMY® parts can be certified, integrating this tech into rail manufacturing would require **compliance with rail-specific standards** and likely **extensive fatigue and load testing**.If you're thinking about applying this in Victoria or exploring a pilot project, I’d be happy to help map out what that might look like."
