CRP Technology exhibits at Airtec 2023 News Space Expo & Conference
Held from 25 to 27 October in Munich. CRP Technology team will be in the AM Pavilion, Hall 1, booth D90, to share key solutions and achieved challenges in Aerospace industry
CRP Technology will be exhibiting at Airtec 2023 in the Additive Manufacturing Pavilion, Hall 1, booth D90. The event, recognized as an international hub for technology and innovation, will be held from 25 to 27 October in the new Augsburg Fair, Munich.
The latest applications for the Aerospace sector manufactured on the behalf of customers using Windform and industrial 3D printing service will be displayed. The key part is represented by TuPOD, the innovative cubesat manufactured in Windform XT 2.0 Carbon fiber composite material, that inaugurated a new era for scientists involved in the use of small but reliable satellites. TuPOD has been the first entirely 3D printed satellite to be launched from the International Space Station (ISS) being at the same time a cubesat and a dispenser of two cylindrical tubesats.
CRP Technology team will share their expertise and discuss with attendees some hot topics such as:
• Advantages of additive manufacturing with Windform SLS materials tested to Outgassing and to the highest quality requirements of NASA and ESA
• How to minimize risk of satellite equipment failure due to harsh environment conditions and how to maximize test safety and performances
• How to reach extreme lightness and strength vital for the Aerospace engineering

Featured Product

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs
Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
