Advanced Manufacturing Solutions for High-Performance Drones & Unmanned Systems
3D Printed Drone Parts and Precision Metal Components
From Prototype to Production
The drone and unmanned systems industry demands components that combine extreme lightness with structural durability – across aerial (UAV), ground (UGV), and maritime (USV) platforms serving ISR, logistics, EW, and commercial applications.
CRP Group delivers flight-ready and field-ready components through an integrated manufacturing ecosystem: professional Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing in Windform® composite materials, high-precision CNC machining, and DMLS and Rapid Sand Casting with CNC finishing. Whether you need a functional prototype for rapid iteration, a custom lightweight structure, or end-use parts for fielded UxV platforms, we combine materials expertise, engineering consultancy, and manufacturing agility to meet the most demanding unmanned systems specifications – from concept to mission-ready component.
Key capabilities
Accelerated Prototyping and Testing
From CAD to validated parts with no tooling, accelerating design iteration and shortening development cycles
Functional Electronics Integration
Windform® composites enable direct integration of electronics housings, antenna compartments, and sensor mounts into structural parts, reducing wiring and assembly steps
Design Optimization for Additive and CNC Manufacturing
We adapt your existing drone/UxV design to fully exploit the benefits of SLS, DMLS, and precision CNC, improving manufacturability, weight, and performance without changing the mission concept
Reduced Downtime and Fast Replacement
Damaged or worn out components can be replaced quickly and without extensive rework, reducing operational downtime and keeping your UxV fleet operational

Expanding Possibilities with Selective Laser Sintering and Windform Materials
Accelerating Iteration and Streamlining Production with SLS and Windform® Composites
SLS technology and Windform® composites are driving a shift in drone manufacturing. Rapid prototyping and quick design adjustments reduce the time from concept to validated parts, enabling engineers to refine aerodynamics, structural performance, and system integration faster than with traditional methods. The consistent quality of these reinforced materials ensures repeatable performance across multiple components and batch runs.
Unleashing the Potential of Lightweight Composite Materials for Unmanned Systems
Windform® composites offer the industry’s best weight-to-density ratio, with components up to 60% lighter than traditionally manufactured parts. Windform® XT 2.0 (carbon fiber reinforced) for load-bearing structures, Windform® GT (glass fiber reinforced, RF-transparent) for antenna housings, GPS enclosures, and ISR payload housings where mass and EMI sensitivity are simultaneous constraints, Windform® SP (carbon fiber reinforced, waterproof certified) for humid and marine environments.
Windform® GT was selected by CRP USA for the Hoverfly TeUAS fuselage – a military-grade persistent ISR platform. Full MIL-STD-810H qualification passed: random vibration, thermal cycling, moisture ingress, chemical exposure, and mechanical shock – a demonstrated outcome on a fielded platform.
Precision Metal Components for UxV Structures and Payloads
When unmanned systems programs require metal parts – high-load interfaces, thermally stressed motor supports, or wear-critical gimbal mechanisms – CRP Group provides the precision and traceability that UxV platforms demand. Through 5-axis CNC machining and DMLS with CNC finishing, CRP Meccanica manufactures gimbal mounting interfaces, structural brackets, motor supports, actuator housings, and sensor mounting plates in aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel – all under EN 9100:2018 certification with full traceability and FAI documentation.
CRP Group also performs high-precision CNC post-processing on Windform® parts, using 5-axis CNC milling and CNC turning with live tooling.
