Note: The material properties provided herein are for reference purposes only. Data was generated from the testing of parts produced with Windform XT 2.0 material under optimal processing conditions. Actual values may vary significantly as they are affected by part geometry and process parameters. Material specifications are subject to change without notice.
Standard Technical Details for Accuracy versus Tolerance:
For parts up to 1 mm (0.039″), the standard tolerance is ± 0,070 mm (0.003″)
For parts up to 3 mm (0.118″), the standard tolerance is ± 0,125 mm (0.005″)
For parts up to 6 mm (0.236″), the standard tolerance is ± 0,150 mm (0.006″)
For parts over 6 mm (0.236″), refer to UNI EN ISO 286-2 JS14 class (linear tolerances).
Technical specifications
Windform® XT 2.0 is a ground breaking carbon fiber reinforced composite SLS material known for its high mechanical properties.
This innovative material replaces the previous formula of Windform® XT in the Windform® family of materials, and it features improvements especially in mechanical properties, including: +8% increase in tensile strength, +22% in tensile modulus, and +46% increase in elongation @ break.
Windform® XT 2.0 has been rated HB according to the flammability UL 94 test.
It is skin contact approved.
Applications
It is particularly suitable in demanding applications such as Motorsports, Aerospace, and UAV sectors.
Moreover this cutting edge material for professional 3D printing service – as mainly composite materials from the Windform® TOP-LINE – has passed outgassing tests at the most important Space Agencies, and it’s suitable for space missions.
In fact both CRP Technology and CRP USA have built a considerable experience supplying cutting-edge solutions for space key industry leaders.
The versatility of the Windform® XT 2.0 combined with the technology used, allows for near endless possibilities: it is the material of choice for the creation of accurate, reliable, and durable prototypes and it is perfect for functional applications for the most demanding industries.
