WEBINAR: Unlocking the Power of Differentiated Photopolymers: Revolutionizing 3D Printing for Next-Level Production

Learn how industry-leading material performance can help lead to applications that rival traditional production methods while offering manufacturing flexibility for business growth.

Differentiated photopolymers are a key part of propelling 3D printing into a new era of production. Resins with targeted property sets tailored to serve the material requirements of end-use products can be formed into lightweight, complex, and variable shapes with ease using top-down digital light processing (DLP) technology. And with materials that make parts less dense without a strength drop-off, optimization for de-densification adds further value through lightweighting.

Stress-Strain curve evaluations traditionally factor out the design to evaluate how a material will perform. However, in the world of additive manufacturing, 3D architectures change the game. Designers can now look at materials in a more toughness-per-density way to optimize the strength-to-weight ratio (proportional to performance-to-cost ratio) of their component.

In this webinar you'll:

Identify materials targeted for performance, such as the industry’s highest heat deflection temperature or the highest tear strength on the market
Gain insight on how part lightweighting optimizes the value of additive manufacturing through reduced material usage
Explore top-down DLP technology application examples with cost per part evaluations, from thousands of large parts, like cushions, or over 5 million small parts, like earbuds, per year in custom geometries not possible with traditionally manufactured goods
