Rigid material with high contrast, color optimized for PIV wind tunnel testing to reduce preparation time and improve aerodynamic test performance.
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.
