Carbon fiber-reinforced polyamide filament Windform RS

for 3D printersblackflexible

TECHNOLOGY Selective Laser Sintering Windform® RS is the tenth material of the Windform® TOP-LINE range, created and developed by CRP Technology. Windform® RS is a Black, polyamide-based SLS composite material that is Carbon fiber reinforced. Windform® RS has excellent mechanical characteristics: it has a very high tensile strength (85,25 Mpa) and at the same time has excellent ductility (Elongation @ break 9.46%) and low density (1,10 g/cc). It is resistant to damage, shock, vibrations, deformations and high temperatures. The combination of high resistance and high resilience makes Windform® RS unique in the AM world. The high resilience/strength properties allow it to withstand shocks at various ranges of temperature, even sub-zero (it has been successfully tested to -40 °C, -40 °F). In addition, it is resistant to water and liquid absorption down to just 1 millimeter part thickness. Windform® RS has been rated HB according to the flammability UL 94 test. Windform RS has passed ESA standard screening outgassing tests for space-flight applications and it is skin contact approved. Delivering the strongest but ductile Carbon filled composite, Windform® RS let manufacturers realize ruggedized Powder Bed Fusion parts for the most challenging applications. Windform® RS promises maximum tensile strength, higher elongation at break and water resistance from 1 mm letting designers create durable components, small series and limited editions with confidence and an eye ahead.
