Stratasys Validated Material Ecosystem: Why Kimya PC-FR is a Premiere Choice for Railway Applications

Webinar Description

Kimya PC-FR is a polycarbonate filament developed by Kimya and optimized for use in Stratasys FDM® printers. This flame retardant 3D printing material meets the EN45545 standard and the R1-HL2 fire hazard scale of the European railway industry and is printed using soluble supports allowing for increased design freedom. 

With its flame-resistant properties, PC-FR is a great fit for both passenger and commercial rail applications. The applications range from small parts such as seat components to replacement parts and beyond.
