CRP Technology is exhibiting functional prototypes of flight-ready, 3D composite parts for the aerospace industry this week at the Paris Airshow. The company shares&nbsp;booth A148 in Hall 3, USA Pavilion, with ITT brands Cannon, Enidine, Aerospace Controls, Micro-Mode, and Matrix Composites.
Windform composite materials developed by CRP&nbsp;for industrial printing originally were created for the motorsports industry&nbsp;but now also are used in space exploration applications. Prototypes on display at its booth include the retaining ring, stator, cubesat, and TuPOD used on different space missions.
The company’s materials contribute to technological advancements in aerospace structures and small satellites, ranging from pico- to mini-satellites, CRP noted. In fact, TuPOD—consisting of the 3U CubeSat and a dispensing system for two tube satellites—in late 2017 became the first completely 3D printed satellite deployer launched from the International Space Station.
