3D PRINT COMPOUNDS | TECHNOLOGY
ColorFabb says allPHA materials are best printed on to a cold plate as a heated plate will induce crystallisation, leading to the risk of warping in the bottom layers. The plate is then heated to 90°C for 15 minutes at the end of the build prior to removal of the 3D printed part, inducing crystallisation and easing release.
Space programmes Aspirations run high at Italy’s CRP Technology, manufacturer of the Windform portfolio of carbon or glass fibre reinforced PA-based sintering powders. Its material has been performing well in a low earth orbit satellite application engineered by the Portland State Aerospace Society. CRP USA, the Americas partner of CRP Technol-
ogy, manufactured several essential subsystems for the OreSat CubeSat using its Windform LX 3.0 laser sintering process. These included a turnstile antenna assembly, star tracker camera lens and sensor assembly, and a battery assembly. All met the extreme vibration, outgassing and thermal perfor- mance requirements for the low earth orbit project when they were first put into use in March 2021, and have been successfully operating since then.
Japanese engineering thermoplastics supplier
Polyplastics has developed a 3D printing technol- ogy that allows for additive production of parts made using its Duracon polyoxymethylene (POM) materials. The new Material Extrusion (MEX) technology was introduced at the K show last year and uses thermoplastic resin filaments to produce three-dimensional structures by repeatedly tracing and layering melted material extruded through a small nozzle. The 3D printed POM parts are said to
