Replique, provider of a 3D printing platform that makes OEMs' parts management more efficient and sustainable, is using Formnext to launch RSure, an innovative quality tracking module that enables OEMs to directly track each of their 3D printed parts and ensure that parts meet the necessary quality requirements.
At Formnext, Lehvoss will be showcasing 3D printing materials for demanding tasks. For example, Luvocom 3F PEI 50236 GY, which meets the EN45545-2 standard, which is particularly popular in the railroad industry. The material, based on polyetherimide (PEI), already fulfills the EN45545-2 R1 HL3 certification for 3D-printed samples that are only 2 mm thick.
