Service provider CRP Technology presents ultralight 3D printing material Windform SL

The 3D printing service provider CRP Technology presents Windform SL (“Super Light”). It is the twelfth material in the Windform TOP-LINE series, which is intended to set new standards in the field of additive manufacturing. Windform SL, a polyamide-based composite material with carbon fiber reinforcement, combines exceptional lightweight construction with a low density of 0.87 g/cc, making it an ultra-light and stiff material.

Windform SL, an advanced composite material based on polyamide and reinforced with carbon fibers, is characterized by its extremely lightweight nature with a density of only 0.87 g/cc. These properties make it one of the lightest materials on the market without compromising on strength. The development of Windform SL underlines CRP Technology’s commitment to innovation and its desire to stay one step ahead of its customers’ requirements.

Franco Cevolini, CEO and Technical Director of CRP Technology, comments: “Our commitment to innovation is unwavering. We are a historic, pioneering company that continuously creates cutting-edge innovative materials for professional 3D printing, and Windform SL is the latest proof, another step forward in our growth journey that keeps us at the forefront of the industry.

As a leading 3D printing service provider with a range that now includes 12 different Windform composites, I am confident that this material will quickly become the preferred choice for many UAV and automotive customers who rely on our 3D printing department to manufacture their advanced parts.”

Windform SL’s technical specifications, such as high heat deflection temperature (HDT) at 182.5°C and excellent mechanical properties, allow the production of parts that are durable under extreme conditions. In addition, the exceptional surface quality after the SLS process and further post-processing steps enables the production of components with high precision and smooth surfaces.

The market launch of Windform SL is further proof of CRP Technology’s innovative strength. The company is thus consolidating its position as one of the leading providers in the professional 3D printing sector. With Windform SL, CRP Technology is helping to redefine the limits of what is possible in the field of lightweight construction, offering its customers customized solutions that are both efficient and sustainable.
