            Stretcher Loading System

            From Concept to Series Production – Efficient, Safe, Deployable Challenge: enable fast and simple loading of injured personnel into ambulance modules for the Unimog.
            In 2020, HEGGEMANN developed, manufactured and tested a fully automated stretcher loading system – operable by a single person at the push of a button.

            Case Study: WAAM

            WAAM Technology in Defense

            Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing for Rapid Deployment

            Scenario: In crisis zones or extreme environments, supply chains often collapse. Critical spare parts cannot be delivered on time. WAAM technology enables the local production of mission-essential components directly at the place of use.

            Close-up of a metal component produced with Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) at HEGGEMANN — layer-built structure showcasing advanced additive technology for defense applications.

            Objectives of WAAM deployment in Defense:

            Mobile, container-based WAAM spare part production for military vehicles and systems

            Maximum flexibility and speed through digital processes

            Avoidance of obsolescence with “print-on-demand” from standardised material portfolio

            Reduced physical stockpiles by production on demand
