CRP USA will exhibit at XPONENTIAL 2026, the world's leading trade show for autonomous and uncrewed systems, held in Detroit from May 12 to 14. The event brings together the most influential players in defense, aerospace, robotics, advanced air mobility, infrastructure, and energy - sectors where performance requirements are not merely high: they are uncompromising.
At booth 16031, CRP USA will showcase a cross-industry portfolio of Windform® 3D printed solutions, spanning defense, aerospace, and motorsport - sectors where structural integrity, thermal resistance, and dimensional accuracy are equally non-negotiable.
Among the most significant recent validations of Windform technology, a 3D-printed structural component developed by CRP USA for Hoverfly achieved full compliance with MIL-STD-810H, the U.S. Department of Defense standard for environmental durability under extreme operating conditions. A result that adds a new benchmark to the material's track record, confirming its readiness for defense-grade applications alongside the aerospace and motorsport work already in the field.
"This is not a prototype exercise - it is evidence that additive manufacturing with Windform materials can deliver production-ready solutions where reliability is a matter of mission success. Every application in our portfolio at XPONENTIAL reflects that same standard of performance." - Chris Brewster, CEO, CRP USA
Windform materials were built for motorsport. From the very beginning, CRP USA took these composites from the racetrack to the new Space Race, and now brings to XPONENTIAL some examples from both.
The portfolio includes components such as a fully functional Formula SAE steering wheel and an intake manifold that has covered in excess of 12,000 miles in both racing and testing, running at approximately 18 lbs of boost pressure, demonstrating that are applications where thermal loads, mechanical stress, and dimensional accuracy under competitive conditions are absolute requirements.
From that same technology base, CRP USA has reached considerably further. In aerospace, the TuPOD has been used in a specific space mission becoming the first completely 3D printed satellite launched from the ISS, alongside the KySat-2 CubeSat structure, which successfully launched into orbit and became the model for many other functional variants. Precision retaining rings and motor stators complete a portfolio that spans from the racetrack to low Earth orbit.
"Windform range was born in motorsport, proven in space, and now qualified at defense-grade standards. That trajectory reflects a consistent commitment to solving the hardest problems in manufacturing. At XPONENTIAL, we look forward to bringing that story to an audience that understands exactly what it means to operate where failure is not an option." - Vu Mai, Senior Director of Sales, CRP USA
XPONENTIAL is the event where the uncrewed systems industry converges to exchange technology, forge partnerships, and define the direction of the sector. For CRP USA, it is the natural platform to engage with defense contractors, aerospace integrators, UAV manufacturers, and advanced mobility developers - all of whom share the same fundamental challenge: finding materials and manufacturing processes that can perform reliably in environments where failure is not an option.
CRP USA's presence at booth 16031 will offer visitors the opportunity to examine Windform applications firsthand, discuss specific project requirements, and explore how additive manufacturing with high-performance composite materials can be integrated into their development and production workflows.
