CRP Technology Achieves ISO 14001:2015 Certification

The attainment of ISO 14001:2015 certification for environmental management in advanced additive manufacturing marks an important milestone for CRP Technology in its journey towards integrating sustainable practices into its advanced manufacturing processes, aimed at optimising resource use and reducing the environmental impact throughout the entire lifecycle of materials and products. Issued by DNV, the ISO 14001:2015 certification covers the production of plastic components using Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology, as well as the manufacture of powders intended for SLS and other related additive manufacturing processes.

This certification complements the EN 9100 accreditation already obtained by CRP Technology for its quality management system applied to the aerospace and defence sectors. The industrial model adopted by CRP Technology integrates technological innovation, strict process control, operational transparency, and environmental responsibility.

“Achieving ISO 14001 certification is a concrete reflection of our industrial approach, which seeks to unite technological innovation, production efficiency, and environmental responsibility,” said Franco Cevolini, CTO and CEO of CRP Technology. “It marks another step forward on the path we follow every day to uphold the highest standards of quality and sustainability.”

CRP Technology’s commitment to sustainability is also reflected in tangible circular economy initiatives, such as the recovery of Windform XT 2.0 powders. Once no longer suitable for SLS 3D printing, the powders are reprocessed and transformed into Windform XT 2.0 IMG, which can then be used in injection moulding or in FDM/FFF 3D printing processes in pellet form.
