Windform TOP-LINE composite SLS materials were born from the study-research of R&D department of CRP Technology and international market needs. The CRP Technology’s 3D printing department gathers market requests and passes them to the R&D department, who in turn develops new Windform materials and services, through continuous innovation, to achieve always the maximum satisfaction of the service bureau, and gives the highest value for its final customers. Windform TOP-LINE is the ideal composite SLS range of materials that is able to satisfy the needs of international market of 3D Printing. WINDFORM MATERIALS LISTED Windform® XT 2.0, carbon-fiber polyamide-based composite material, assures the maximum mechanical performance for 3D printing and Additive Manufacturing/ Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) process. It is characterized by high stiffness, excellent strength and reduced weight. Windform® XT 2.0 is the material chosen to build components examples include: intake manifolds, UAV parts, and air control ducting. It is also used in functional applications such as dyno tests, racetrack tests, on car parts and pre-series parts. It is also useful to construct CubeSat’s, since it is able to create thin and tough components. Windform SP, carbon-fiber polyamide-based composite material, is tougher material and it maintains maximum mechanical strength. Windform SP is a highly ductile material with top mechanical resistance, slightly lower than Windform XT 2.0. In addition it is waterproof with excellent sealing characteristics both to liquids (water, oil, gasoline, etc…) and gas. Windform SP can be used where there is high stress fatigue even in time type vibration or shock without the risk of breaking. It is perfect in functional applications, for example it is particularly suitable for underhood parts, such as intake manifolds. It is also used for UAV components and in dyno tests, racetrack tests and in small run production. Windform FX BLACK is a new generation polyamide based material with a dark black color. It is characterized by exceptional resistance to repeated bending and torsion. The material shows excellent impact resistance even at low temperatures. Its consistency and behavior are similar to polypropylene and ABS injection moulded parts. Windform FX BLACK is perfect for creating accurate, reliable, and long lasting prototypes. Windform LX 3.0 is a polyamide-based material reinforced with glass fibers. It can be used in multiple applications, where a functional material is required. It is also not electrically conductive. Windform LX 3.0 has a good tensile strength and stiffness. It is the material of choice for electrically insulated prototypes (CTI Rating of 600). It can be suitable for battery boxes, containers of electrical and electronic components. It can guarantee high-dimensional accuracy. Windform GT, glass fiber reinforced composite material polyamide-based, is highly elastic and it is resistant to liquids. It is suitable in applications where the material must be flexible and resistant at the same time in order to avoid any breakage. It also has a further characteristic: it is waterproof even without the aid of surface treatments. In case of parts that have to be submitted to pressure that goes from 1, 2 or more bars, Windform GT is the suitable material as it stops the air, water or other liquids through its “tight” structure. It is also suitable for air ducts, intake and cooling systems, the hydraulic ducts in contact with liquids or oils, in protective cover for sensors and for all applications that need a good flexibility and resistance to damage, for example racing components near the ground. Moreover, Windform GT is not electrically conductive. Windform GF 2.0 is a polyamide-based material reinforced with glass fibers and aluminium. It is a versatile material that can be used for multiple applications. Windform RL is a durable thermoplastic elastomer material with exceptional rubber-like distinguishing features. Its mechanical characteristics make it particularly suited for Additive Manufacturing applications requiring complex geometries, and where flexible characteristics is a key requisite. Windform RL is the material of choice not only for automotive and motorsport applications requiring flexibility, but also for athletic footwear and equipment, and for all parts requiring excellent shock absorption. Due to its mechanical properties, Windform RL assures high performance sealing power. Windform RS, polyamide-based carbon fiber filled composite, has a very high Tensile Strength (85.25 MPa), excellent ductility (Elongation at Break of 9.46%) and low density (1,10 g / cc). Windform RS is resistant to damage, shock, vibrations, deformations and high temperatures. Its high resilience/strength properties allow it to withstand shocks at various ranges of temperature, even sub-zero. Windform RS is suited for tough, intricate and complex 3D printed parts, robust functional prototypes and heavy-duty end-use applications withstanding harsh environments. Windform FR1 is the unique Flame Retardant (V-0 rated) material carbon fiber reinforced for Additive Manufacturing. It is halogen free and combines superior mechanical properties with excellent stiffness and lightweight. Windform FR1 successfully passed the FAR 25.853 12-second vertical / 15-second horizontal flammability tests, the 45° Bunsen burner test and the Smoke density test. It is suitable for Aircrafts and Aerospace applications; Automotive and Transportation parts / vehicle interiors; Consumer goods and Electronics and for any parts requiring FAR 25.853 fire retardant compliancy. Windform FR1 is also suitable for the manufacturing of components with detailed surface resolution. Windform FR2 is a Flame Retardant polyamide-based glass fiber reinforced material. It successfully passed the FAR 25.853 12-second vertical / 15-second horizontal flammability tests, the 45° Bunsen burner test and the Smoke density test. It is halogen free and combines outstanding wear resistance and good temperature resistance. It is not electrically conductive. It allows for good detail resolution with smoother surface finish when compared to Windform FR1. It is suitable for Aircrafts and Aerospace applications; Automotive and Transportation parts / vehicle interiors; Consumer goods and Electronics and for any parts requiring FAR 25.853 fire retardant compliancy. ADDITIONAL INFOS Windform LX 3.0, Windform XT 2.0, Windform GT and Windform SP have passed outgassing tests carried out at NASA. The result states: “Materials were tested in accordance to the ASTM E-595-07 standard and are considered passing”. Moreover Windform XT 2.0 has passed ESA screening outgassing tests in accordance with ESA TEC-QTE 7171 (based on ECSS-Q-ST-70-02C). See the results. Many Windform TOP-LINE composite materials have been tested for their flammability rating (Windform XT 2.0, Windform SP, Windform GT and Windform LX 3.0, Windform FR2). They have been rated HB according to the flammability UL 94 test. Results can be obtained here. All Windform materials can be CNC machined.
