Among the first in Europe CRP Technology is involved since 1996 in Direct Digital Manufacturing
(DDM) namely
Additive Manufacturing with SLS technology and
Windform® composite materials CRP patent-pending and branded.
Direct Digital Manufacturing and
Additive Manufacturing refer to
Rapid Manufacturing and namely to the production of finished and functional parts through additive techniques of manufacturing (
Layer Manufacturing).
With Direct Digital Manufacturing and
Additive Manufacturing CRP Technology supports the customers offering:
- Finished and functional parts for sporting vehicles, road vehicles and concept models
- Mock-up for assembling, fitting, functionality and performance tests (for example on static and dynamic dyno and on track)
- Finished and functional parts for limited productions
- Mock-up for windtunnel
- Functional prototypes
- In-scale reproduction for physic archive
Moreover CRP Technology sells SLS composite material
Windform® and the
R&D department always studies new innovative materials and processes.
The main properties of Direct Digital Manufacturing and
Additive Manufacturing are:
- Total freeform and no limits in designing (Design For Functionality instead of Design for Manufacturing)
- Production of pieces with undercuts and complex features that might be difficult to realize with traditional production systems
- Reduction in product and project realization timing and reduction in cost production
CRP Technology has been in the field of
Additive Manufacturing and
Rapid Prototyping since 1996 when it began to develop the SLS technology as well as
new polymeric with high structural properties (the family of
Windform® materials). The
department of Rapid Prototyping and
Additive Manufacturing of CRP Technology creates a finished model in short time and it is suitable for
functional tests,
fluid-aerodynamic,
fitting and
assembling.
For example it is possible to produce a windtunnel F1 1:1 mock-up equipped with helmet and rear-view mirrors.
