CRP USA will be exhibiting at the 39th annual Small Satellite Conference, August 11–13, 2025, Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, Booth 328, with a selection of flight-ready, 3D-printed components developed for small satellite and space applications.
These parts are manufactured using Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and CRP’s proprietary Windform® composite materials, engineered for strength, thermal stability, and long-term reliability in demanding orbital environments. Attendees will have the opportunity to see firsthand how these materials and technologies are advancing the design and performance of space systems.
The 2025 Small Satellite Conference, themed “Reaching New Horizons,” celebrates forward-thinking solutions in space innovation, a mission closely aligned with CRP USA’s expertise in additive manufacturing for the aerospace and space sectors.
Chris Brewster, CEO of CRP USA, said, “SmallSat continues to be one of the most important venues for meeting face-to-face with the aerospace community. We’re proud to return and share how Windform and SLS are enabling our customers to move faster, innovate smarter, and deliver reliable parts ready for the final frontier.”
Vu Mai, Senior Director of Sales at CRP USA, added, “Our customers in the small satellite industry rely on us for more than just parts, they depend on us for speed, quality, and technical insight. At booth #328, we’ll be showcasing new success stories and parts that demonstrate how additive manufacturing in Windorm can truly change the game.”
The Windform® family of materials, developed by CRP Technology in Italy, includes carbon and glass fiber-reinforced thermoplastics that combine lightweight properties with exceptional mechanical performance. These materials have a proven track record in real-world space missions, offering the ideal balance of functionality, precision, and durability.
CRP USA’s presence at the event underscores its ongoing commitment to supporting the evolution of small satellites with cutting-edge manufacturing technologies and materials optimized for the harsh conditions of space.
Windform materials have been successfully employed in a variety of small satellite applications, including:
- Structural panels and enclosures
- Antenna and payload supports
- Deployable systems
- CubeSat components
All Windform materials used in space applications have passed outgassing tests in accordance with major space agency requirements, confirming their suitability for use in orbit.
