Thermoplastic Glass Fiber Filled Material for High Speed Sintering
March 1, 2021
CRP Technology offers Windform P2, a glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic polyamide material with enhanced mechanical properties for high speed sintering.
Engineer Franco Cevolini, CRP Technology CTO and VP, said: "Windform P2 is the second polymer from P-LINE, the Windform range of materials for high speed production-grade 3D printing."
Compared to Windform P1, which is the first material from the P-LINE family, Windform P2 offers increased stiffness (Windform P2 Tensile Modulus is 2925.20 MPa ; Windform P1 is 1960.60 MPa), combined with high tensile strength (39.24 MPa, Windform P2).
"This is a very important property," said Cevolini. "Windform P2 is stiffer than Windform P1 because Windform P2 is reinforced (Windform P1 is not reinforced). Most of the reinforced materials for similar technologies currently on the market show a decrease in the tensile strength property. My staff and I have been able to preserve the high tensile strength in Windform P2."
Because Windform P2 is glass fiber filled, it is an insulating material (CTI rating of 600). Windform P2 is also suitable for manufacturing components with detailed resolution.
Windform P2 is suitable for production of small functional prototypes and end-use parts requiring high stiffness across a variety of sectors, including: electrical (enclosures and housing for electronics); consumer and household goods; industrial products (furniture parts, presentation models, fixtures and tooling); and automotive (rigid parts for interior design).
