Much of the innovation in the commercial additive manufacturing space revolves around materials and what each of them enables in terms of applications. Join the discussion with a fast-growing digital manufacturer about how different materials can be used to lower costs, shorten product development cycles, and speed up time-to-market for a variety of use cases. Guidelines for working with a digital manufacturer will also be discussed.
Overview
Are you curious about how to start or expand your 3D journey?
Do you need strong, functional, highly-detailed, complex parts? Are you looking for parts with greater impact resistance and ductility or with high rebound and low abrasion resistance? Need a renewable raw material for sustainability reasons or want to prototype in the same material as the final parts?
Join the discussion with a fast-growing digital manufacturer about how different materials can be used to lower costs, shorten product development cycles, speed up time-to-market, and deliver the material properties that are best for your use case.
