Description

Additive manufacturing performance is determined as much by material formulation as by machine capability. This advanced training focuses on how polymer structure, rheology, thermal behavior, and additive selection control printability, dimensional accuracy, interlayer bonding, and final part performance across major additive manufacturing platforms. The session examines formulation requirements for FDM/FFF, SLS, SLA, and emerging technologies, highlighting how viscosity control, melt strength, crystallization kinetics, and thermal stability influence flow behavior, layer adhesion, warpage, and anisotropy. Special attention is given to high-performance materials including engineering thermoplastics, filled systems, elastomeric formulations, and reinforced composites designed for functional end-use parts. Participants will learn how additives such as plasticizers, nucleating agents, impact modifiers, and stabilizers affect processing windows and long-term durability. The training also addresses common failure modes including poor layer fusion, shrinkage distortion, powder aging, and print defects, and links these issues directly to formulation decisions. The objective is to enable formulators to design materials that deliver reliable processing, consistent quality, and scalable performance in industrial additive manufacturing environments.

Why you should not miss the training?

This must have online training offers a multitude of compelling reasons. 

1. Material issues cause most print failures, not machines: Learn how formulation variables drive warpage, weak layers, and dimensional instability.

2. Design polymers specifically for each AM platform: Understand rheology, thermal window, and flow requirements for FDM, SLS, and SLA.

3. Prevent costly trial-and-error during material development: Translate print defects directly into formulation adjustments and process limits.

4. Develop high-performance materials for functional end-use parts: Optimize strength, durability, heat resistance, and long-term reliability.

5. Scale formulations from lab trials to industrial production: Manage batch consistency, powder reuse effects, and process stability risks.

Who should attend this training?

This is highly recommended and must have training for chemical industry professionals engaged in diverse polymer application/formulation areas; in particular:

    - R&D chemists, formulators, Engineers, Q&A
    - Technical managers
    - Lab managers
    - Engineers, technicians, and supervisors
    - Product development teams and R&D managers
