CRP Technology, a prominent player in the 3D printing landscape, renowned for its Windform composite materials tailored for the SLS process, is set to make its debut at the upcoming Space-Comm Expo.
This participation signifies CRP Technology’s dedication to propelling the aerospace sector forward through cutting-edge additive manufacturing techniques.
A key highlight of CRP Technology’s innovation is the remarkable Windform materials, with five variants successfully passing rigorous outgassing evaluations conducted by NASA and ESA, adhering to ASTM E-595-07 and ECSS-Q-ST-70-02C standards.
the Space-Comm expo is scheduled for March 6th and 7th, 2024, at the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Center in Farnborough, UK. Attendees can find CRP Technology at booth D7, where they will showcase a range of functional, space-ready components crafted by their expert team using Windform composites.
Visitors to CRP’s exhibit will gain insights into the latest breakthroughs in the aerospace industry facilitated by advanced 3D printing and the submission of Windform’s high-performance composite materials.
Particularly noteworthy is the role of these technologies in the burgeoning small satellite (smallsat) sector.
Franco Cevolini, CEO and CTO of CRP Technology, emphasized the importance of additive manufacturing in small satellite projects, stating, “additive manufacturing presents both opportunities and hurdles for engineers and scientists in this domain.”
“The capability to fabricate parts and components through these methods is promising for both metals and plastics, but the most meaningful advancements have emerged in thermoplastic carbon fiber reinforced composites.”
“Our Windform material line, specifically engineered for the laser sintering process, is pivotal to these advancements. Initially developed for the motorsport sector, the twelve materials in the Windform series are now making significant inroads into applications such as UAS, CubeSats, PocketQubes, and various space exploration initiatives.”
“Our partner, CRP USA, has played a crucial role in pioneering this field, overcoming numerous obstacles and enhancing the success of space missions through 3D printing and Windform materials. The insights gained from CRP USA have been invaluable, and we take pride in being recognized as a leading provider of 3D printing services for space-ready components.”
