Sourcing Irregular Parts: 3D Printing a Rail Buffer

USE CASE: RX-AM™

MATERIAL: CHROMAFLOW 90
2K polyurethane resin with a shore A of 90

Our customer was trying to source a buffer for a 1967 bogie. With no material data and only an old 2D drawing, Chromatic 3D Materials created a 3D model and printed this buffer directly onto a metal bolt, reducing the need for assembly. The buffer passed all necessary testing and avoided a time-consuming and costly traditional manufacturing method.
