CRP Group at VTM Torino 2026: 3D printing and CNC machining for mobility

November 11, 2026

From ducts to electric motor housings, CRP Technology and CRP Meccanica will showcase components made from Windform® materials, metal alloys and metal matrix composites for vehicle and robotics applications

CRP Group at VTM Torino 2026: 3D printing and CNC machining for mobility

CRP Group will take part in VTM Torino 2026, booth 187, scheduled for 23–25 November at Lingotto Fiere, Hall 1, in Turin, Italy. At the international business convention for the mobility industry, CRP Technology and CRP Meccanica will meet design engineers, R&D managers and buyers to discuss manufacturing requirements across the supply chain, presenting a selection of components produced using additive and subtractive technologies.

The exhibits will highlight different manufacturing approaches: 3D printing for complex duct geometries, CNC post-machining for mating surfaces, and milling and turning from solid stock for housings with multiple functional diameters and thin cooling fins. Together, they will illustrate the relationship between component geometry, material and the manufacturing operations required for the intended application.

Polymer 3D printing and surface finishing

Intake ducts, cable guides, covers and supports for rotating systems will showcase selective laser sintering (SLS) using the proprietary Windform materials developed by CRP Technology.

Alongside geometry, the exhibits will highlight surface finishing. Components with CNC post-machining will demonstrate how machining complements 3D printing on surfaces requiring dimensional accuracy. Samples with different finishes will allow direct comparison between as-built surfaces, vapour-smoothed surfaces and surfaces finished by hand before vapour smoothing.

Metal additive manufacturing and machining from solid stock

CRP Meccanica’s selection will include components for intake, suspension and steering systems, as well as electric motor and actuator housings for motorsport and robotics applications.

Metal 3D printing will be represented by components made from Scalmalloy®, an aluminium alloy for additive manufacturing, produced using DMLS followed by CNC post-machining. In these parts, the geometry is built additively, while the mating surfaces are machined.

Housings machined from solid 7075 and 6082 aluminium will demonstrate milling, turning and turning with live tooling. Features of the selected parts include multiple functional diameters requiring precision machining and thin, projecting cooling fins.

Structural components made from metal matrix composites (MMCs) and suspension components in heat-treated steel will complete the selection.

B2B meetings on materials and manufacturing choices

VTM will provide an opportunity to discuss components under development and new sourcing needs. Component geometry, mating requirements, operating conditions and anticipated production volumes will provide the starting point for assessing materials and manufacturing routes with the teams at CRP Technology and CRP Meccanica.

To meet CRP Group at VTM Torino 2026, visitors can request an appointment through the event’s B2B matchmaking platform.
