Get Higher Resolution PIV Results Faster for Improved Productivity

The workflow to produce wind tunnel parts in other currently available materials often requires a multi-step process to achieve a suitable finish required for wind tunnel testing. With its high contrast, the unique color of Accura Composite PIV provides the possibility to eliminate some of these steps and therefore compress the workflow for efficiency and throughput gains. 

In addition the improved finish and the reflection mitigating properties of this SLA material lead to higher resolution PIV test results enabling better-informed decisions.

  • Applications

    • Airflow analysis for aerodynamic design optimization 
    • Airflow testing using PIV wind tunnel environment
    • Pressure tapping in the wind tunnel
    • Electrically insulating enclosures 
    • Jigs, fixtures, and tooling 
    • Heat-resistant applications 
    • Abrasion-resistant structures 

  • Benefits

    • Higher resolution PIV data lead to better-informed decisions
    • Better contrast of its unique color reduces post-processing steps and shortens preparation time
    • Faster aerodynamic design iteration
    • High print speed, productivity, and efficiency
    • Improved wind tunnel economics
