Replique Unveils Material Database at Formnext 2023

Replique has launched a comprehensive material database to streamline additive manufacturing workflows. Facilitated in partnership with trusted material suppliers, the database serves both customers and service providers. The platform is engineered to expedite the material selection process, which has traditionally been a manual and labor-intensive aspect of AM projects.

The database presents several features optimized for technical decision-making: it offers multiple filtering options based on technical specifications, adheres to industry standards, and covers a range of application domains. Future updates aim to include quick access to reference cases and material certifications, thereby obviating the need for separate, time-consuming investigations. This repository of material information stems from strategic alliances with established material manufacturers.

A unique attribute of Replique’s database is its open-system architecture, allowing cross-platform utility. It not only empowers end-users but also serves printer manufacturers and service providers. The system’s API interface, which will be available soon, enables integration with other platforms, expanding the database’s reach. Furthermore, Replique’s ecosystem encompasses additional services like Additive Marking for part traceability, making it a one-stop solution for AM projects.

In the long run, databases like Replique’s are likely to become integral in optimizing material selection, thereby influencing cost, time, and quality parameters in additive manufacturing. Such platforms will increasingly enable automated, data-driven approaches for industry practitioners.
