The Windform range of thermoplastic composites by 3D printing service provider CRP Technology is set to take center stage at Space-Comm Expo 2025, to be held at London ExCeL on March 11-12. Visitors to CRP Technology’s booth A48 will witness firsthand how high-performance, lightweight Windform composites, combined with state-of-the-art additive manufacturing techniques, are revolutionizing aerospace applications.
At Space-Comm Expo, Windform composites will be showcased through a selection of 3D-printed satellite and aerospace components, all produced using Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) by CRP Technology and CRP USA. These parts demonstrate the unparalleled strength, durability, and lightweight properties that make Windform ideal for mission-critical applications, such as small satellites, propulsion systems, and beyond.
Known for their exceptional mechanical strength, thermal and electrical insulation, and resistance to extreme environments, Windform composites are the material of choice for cutting-edge aerospace projects. The combination of Windform and the SLS 3D printing process allows for the production of complex components that can withstand the harsh conditions of space while maintaining performance and reliability.
One of the key advantages of Windform is its ability to consolidate multiple functional features into a single 3D-printed part, reducing the need for complex assemblies. This capability leads to lighter components, simplified production, and improved structural integrity, all of which enhance the overall system’s performance and reliability.
Moreover, many of Windform’s composites have passed rigorous outgassing tests, ensuring their suitability for space environments, where even the smallest release of gas could interfere with sensitive instruments and equipment.
The Windform family of thermoplastic composites has played a key role in advancing aerospace technologies through its use in high-performance parts and structures. CRP Technology and CRP USA’s collaborations with aerospace industry leaders have led to numerous successful projects, highlighting the versatility and reliability of Windform materials in space missions.
CRP Technology and CRP USA also contributed to the 3D-printed satellite OreSat-0 and LISA’s 3U Demonstrator CubeSat by producing lightweight structural frames, protective skeletal structures, and mounting brackets that provide mechanical support and system integration for advanced aerospace applications.
Space-Comm Expo 2025 offers aerospace professionals a unique opportunity to explore the transformative potential of Windform composites in the aerospace industry. With decades of experience in engineering and additive manufacturing, CRP Technology provides tailored solutions that optimize both the performance and cost-effectiveness of aerospace components.
Windform composites enable engineers to rapidly prototype and produce small-batch, high-performance parts, making them ideal for research and development, testing, and low-volume manufacturing in aerospace applications.
Additionally, CRP Technology will showcase the integration of vapor smoothing technology, a cutting-edge process that enhances the surface quality of Windform parts. This treatment improves the aesthetics, aerodynamics, and performance of aerospace components, making them even more suitable for demanding space environments.
Space-Comm Expo 2025 is a must-attend event for anyone interested in exploring the future of space technology. Join us at booth A48 to discover how Windform composites and additive manufacturing are shaping the next generation of aerospace solutions. We look forward to meeting you at London ExCeL on March 11-12!
