Manufactured using SLS and patented Windform materials
CRP Technology, specialists in professional 3D printing with advanced Windform composite materials and part of the CRP Group, will be exhibiting at Drone X Expo for the second consecutive year
The company will be at booth DX106, ExCel London, 30 September to 1 October 2025, showcasing flight-ready drone components manufactured using Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and its patented Windform materials.
CRP Technology supports UAV manufacturers by offering application-specific parts optimised for drone operations.
Franco Cevolini, CEO and CTO, CRP Technology, said, “The UAV sector has matured significantly. Developers are asking for more: lightweight structures that don’t sacrifice strength, built-in functionality, and solutions that can perform in harsh environments. With Windform composites and Selective Laser Sintering, we deliver just that—custom, reliable, and ready to fly.”
CRP Technology utilise Windform materials, Carbon, or Glass-fibre reinforced thermoplastic, to produce UAV parts, including:
- Modular arms and bodies with a high strength-to-weight ratio
- Gearbox housings and fuselages for aerodynamic efficiency
- Structural elements with multi-functional features
- Parts that combine structural roles with electronic housing, enabling integrated systems
Several drone parts 3D printed by CRP Technology are already in operational UAV platforms, and the Windform composites have also been employed in aerospace applications, including satellite structures and deployers, after passing outgassing tests conducted by space agencies and Vacuum Ultraviolet (VUV) exposure.
CRP Technology's solutions are part of the CRP Group's hybrid manufacturing ecosystem, a combination of additive technologies and CNC machining that provides performance, precision, and design freedom.
Alex Giugni, CRP Technology’s head of sales, Modena Plant, is on the speaker line-up at Drone X Expo 2025 with a talk titled 'Advanced Additive Thinking: UAV Structures from Civil to Tactical', sharing CRP’s experience in applying composite materials and SLS technology to develop next-generation UAV components for both commercial and defence sectors. The session will take place on Day 2, Wednesday, October 1, at the “Future of Flight Theatre,” from 2:45 PM to 3:15 PM.
