Founded in 2008, the company initially specialized in AM applications using Windform for on-car and wind tunnel components. Today, the companies AM solutions and composite materials, especially the TOP-Line family of flame-retardant, glass-fiber reinforced laser sintering materials, have found advanced application in space, aerospace, automotive, UAV, medical, motorsports and even high performance sports sectors.
Stewart Davis, who has more than two decades of experience in additive manufacturing and Director of Operations at CRP USA, commented: “We have taken our expertise in Additive Manufacturing solutions to new heights to produce parts for the most demanding sectors as Aerospace and Defense. Our team is working alongside key space industry leaders, supplying value-added high-performance 3D printed products to meet their needs. AS9100 Rev.D certification reflects our dedication to achieving the highest standard of customer satisfaction; moreover, it is a further demonstration of the effectiveness of additive manufacturing and use of Windform as structural materials for space and aerospace applications.”
In January this year, the company announced a new material for high speed sintering (HSS) called Windform P2, the second in the Windform P-line of materials. P2 features improved stiffness due to reinforcement, while preserving the tensile strength of the P1 material, for production grade 3D printing. Last year, the company had presented at AMUG 2019 the effectiveness of its materials in the development of CubeSats used to dispense TubeSatellites. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the company made its materials available to biomedical companies and hospitals to support the small batch production of small parts for medical equipment in Italy.
Earlier in August, Additive Flight Solutions had also earned the AS9100D certification, and we had spoken about how the new certification had updated more than 98% in the previous standard. with a stronger focus on accountability, safety protocols, preventive risk management, and reducing counterfeiting. Several service bureau’s serving the aerospace industry have looked to earn the AS9100D certification, including Forecast3D, and BEAMIT in Europe, which was recently acquired by Sandvik.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best 3D printing filament for beginners?
PLA is the best starting filament — it prints easily at 190-220°C without an enclosure and produces good results. Once comfortable, PETG offers better strength and temperature resistance for functional parts.
How do I choose the right filament?
Consider the application: PLA for display models, PETG for functional parts, ABS/ASA for heat/sunlight exposure, TPU for flexible parts, and specialty filaments for engineering applications. Each has specific printer requirements.
What temperature should I print different filaments at?
PLA: 190-220°C nozzle / 50-60°C bed. PETG: 220-250°C / 70-80°C. ABS: 230-260°C / 100-110°C (enclosure needed). Nylon: 240-270°C / 70-90°C. Always check manufacturer recommendations for specific brands.
