From racetrack to orbit, an additive revolution

The use of additive manufacturing and reinforced composite materials in state-of-the-art applications has involved several fields, from motorsport to aerospace, from marine to medical, from design to automotive. In 1996, the CRP Technology R&D department developed WINDFORM® laser sintering (LS) materials. WINDFORM® materials make it possible for laser sintering technology to fabricate high performance parts for wind tunnel applications, as well as highly functional and beautifully finished parts. Until the parts that come out of the machine are the End Use parts, it will never reach its potential.
