SABIC to debut a new rail compliant additive manufacturing solution at InnoTrans 2022
Summary
SABIC hopes that the new compound, named LNP THERMOCOMP AM DC0041XA51, will help the rail industry advance from building traditional tools for part production from thermosets to utilising on demand 3D printing. At InnoTrans 2022, SABIC is exhibiting a large front-hatch part printed by CAF, a leading multinational supplier of comprehensive transit solutions for major railway networks, using the new compound. “With our increased focus on 3D printing, we were looking for a material that complies with the stringent safety requirements set forth in international standards like NFPA 130 or EN45545,” said Lucas Esteban, operational manager from Digital Manufacturing, CAF. Esteban continued: “SABIC’s LNP THERMOCOMP AM DC0041XA51 compound has unique features that fit well with industry requirements, including the appropriate railway certificates. Potential other applications could include exterior parts such as bumpers, interior cladding components such as side panels, partition walls and ducts, and seating backs and shells.
