Stefanie
Brickwede

Managing Director – Mobility goes Additive e.V. & Head of AM – DB Fahrzeuginstandhaltung GmbH, Germany

Stefanie Brickwede graduated from the TU Hanover as an economics major and started her career in the mobility sector. She held various management positions at the Deutsche Bahn AG before in 2015 she took over as Head of the corporate project 3D printing. She is responsible for the introduction of Additive Manufacturing throughout the DB group.

With this background came an understanding of the opportunities and challenges for AM users and Stefanie Brickwede passionately set up the international leading network ”Mobility goes Additive” in 2016 with the aim of pushing industrial 3D printing into series production. With the „Medical goes Additive“-division launched in 2019 the focus of the network was widened to assist Hospitals, companies and institutions throughout the medical sector to extend the use of Additive Manufacturing. Now, MGA has more than 140 member companies active in close to 20 working and focus groups. In addition, Ms. Brickwede is the initiator of the “Women in AM” network and actively promotes women in the AM industry.
