The printing service bureau says their custom-made orthoses are a pinnacle in orthotic innovation.
Windform GT is a glass-fibre-reinforced composite engineered for selective laser sintering, which the company claims to have exceptional thermal and mechanical properties.
The material is said to have a density of 1.19g/cc, heat deflection temperature at 1.82MPA of 169.4°C, a tensile strength of 56.21MPa, elongation at break of 14.82% and a melting point of 193°C.
CRP Technology aims to showcase these orthoses at the upcoming SuperPower Design exhibition in Grand-Hornu, Belgium.
