CRP Technology (Modena, Italy), a company known for its Windform range of fiber-reinforced materials for selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printing, has obtained ISO 14001:2015 certification, confirming the company’s responsible and sustainable environmental management.
Issued by the DNV, this certification applies to the production of plastic components using SLS and the production of powders intended for SLS and other similar additive manufacturing processes. The certified activities fall under IAF code 15 (rubber and plastic products) and were assessed according to the requirements of Technical Regulation RT-09.
This new milestone adds to the EN 9100 certification already achieved by CRP Technology for its quality management system applied to the aerospace and defense sectors, further confirming the industrial model adopted by CRP Technology — one that combines technological innovation, rigorous process control, operational transparency and environmental responsibility.
CRP Technology's commitment to sustainability also takes shape through concrete circular economy projects, such as the recovery of Windform XT 2.0 powders (Windform XT 2.0 is a carbon fiber-reinforced nylon). Once no longer suitable for SLS 3D printing, the powders are reprocessed and converted into Windform XT 2.0 IMG, which can be used in injection molding or FDM/FFF 3D printing processes in pellet form.
