WINDFORM® GF 2.0

Technology: Selective Laser Sintering

Windform® GF 2.0 is the evolutionary substitute for Windform GF, our first generation material. Windform® GF 2.0 is a composite material made of polyamide filled with glass and aluminium, which presents an improvement in both the thermal and mechanical properties, and the aesthetics of the product. In terms of performance, Windform® GF 2.0 shows a significant improvement in the HDT (almost +8%), that is, the heat deflection temperature as well as an increase in the values of tensile strength and elongation strength, therefore offering greater ductility than the previous version, appreciable in various racing applications and functions subject to greater vibrations. Excellent mechanical properties per unit of density, thanks to its lighter weight. Windform® GF 2.0, furthermore, shows less moisture absorption than the other Windform products. On an aesthetic level, Windform® GF 2.0 maintains and enhances the light grey colour and glossy metallic appearance, appreciated in many design and wind tunnel applications, offering an even brighter look. Moreover, of great importance, is the improvement in detail reproduction, which makes Windform® GF 2.0 particularly suitable for applications which require accurate and superior surface definition and excellent reproduction of even the finest details. Excellent value for money.

Applications:
Objects of design and functional aesthetic reproduction, intake manifolds (intake and cooling ducts, air inlet systems), hydraulic ducts (fluid temperature further elevated up to 134°C), fuel systems and household appliances.

Surface Finish:
After SLS Process 6.0 Ra µm
