CRP Technology experts welcomed Formnext attendees to discuss the benefits of using Windform materials and professional 3D printing in their manufacturing process.

Visitors were able to see first-hand some functional parts produced in the latest materials to be launched: Windform TPU, the second rubber-like material in the Windform Top-Line range for the selective laser sintering process, and Windform XT 2.0 IMG, the first injection moulding material that is 100 percent recycled from unsintered Windform powders. Windform TPU fills the gap for those who need a rubber-like material, very elastic, flexible and soft; its elongation at break, density and Shore A hardness are key values unrivalled in the AM world; Windform XT 2.0 IMG ensures continuity in material selection from prototyping to large scale production.

CRP Technology also showed the latest parts produced in Windform for the aerospace and automotive sectors. Also on display was a model of the Experia, Energica Motor Company's new zero-emission Green Tourer motorcycle, and the mock-up of FLYING-CAM's UAS Discovery. Both have some parts mounted in Windform.
