Insights from 3D Printing and AM experts heading to the RadTech 2020 UV+EB Technology Conference

From March 8-11, 2020, theRadtech 2020 UV+EB技术会议will showcase advancing ultraviolet and electron beam technologies for 3D printing and additive manufacturing.

Set to take place at Disney Coronado Springs in Orlando, Florida, the biennial conference, now in its 17th edition, combines cutting edge material and chemistry developments with insights from leaders across the commercial landscape. Organized by UV+EB photopolymer chemistry nonprofitRadTech,,,,this conference will also gather leading engineers and senior scientists to share their perspectives on new technologies.

Radtech 2020 UV+EB的3D打印

With 80 exhibitors and more than 100 presentations, the latest innovations in UV LEDs, 3D printing materials, printing and packaging, coatings, and formulations will be featured at RadTech 2020 UV+EB. Academic educational opportunities will also be available with undergraduate and graduate-level polymer chemistry programs as well as a course on Design of Experiments.

A track dedicated to 3D printing will be presented with experts on high-temperature materials, automotive applications, and resin development. Companies includingBASF,,,,sartomer,,,,汉克尔,,,,Evonik,,,,andLubrizolare set to be sharing the stage withnist,,,,劳伦斯·利弗莫尔国家实验室(LLNL) in addition to a selection of scientists representing national and international academic institutions.

LLNL的材料研究工程师Caitlyn Cook将对新兴领域(包括体积添加剂制造(VAM))的新兴领域进行研究。根据库克的研究,这项技术具有“ 10至100秒”中准备就绪的零件。还将举行有关固化后的重要性和扩展工艺链的重要性的面板。

”The drive to move 3D Printing to large scale industrial production seems to have accelerated,” stated Dr. Mike J. Idacavage, President of Radtech and founder of Radical Curing LLC. Dr. Idacavage also highlights a broadening material palette combined with hardware innovation as key factors hastening industrial adoption.

新兴技术在光敏聚合物添加剂的人ufacturing

Rachel Davis, senior chemist atAzul 3D,开发人员High Area Rapid Printing(竖琴)描述了将于3月9日举行的会议。emerging applications in光聚合物添加剂制造(PAM) as a fertile learning ground. Joining Davis to discuss topics ranging from “displacing traditional injection molding, to making necessary custom medical devices” are experts from沃尔特·迪斯尼想象力,,,,3D Systems,,,,andAdaptive3D。戴维斯补充说,

“The community members of RadTech are all very friendly and helpful. This will be my first RadTech UV+EB Conference, and I am excited to not only participate as a panelist but also as an exhibitor representing Azul 3D and our recent selection for theRadLaunch Start-up Technology Accelerator Class of 2020.”

In addition, Dr. Callie Higgins, NIST Materials Research Engineer, will host a panel delving deeper into photopolymer additive manufacturing. Dr. Higgins explained, “By attending my talk, attendees will gain a broader understanding of the voxel-scale challenges inherent to photopolymer AM. It will also equip them with the tools to overcome these challenges, which harness the relationship between light intensity and photopolymerization. In doing so, the photopolymer AM community can now begin to develop advanced materials with user-defined properties throughout a given print.”

Radtech 2020 UV+EB也是一个扎实未来发展的地方。正如Idacavage博士所说,在与紫外线,树脂材料和光起剂有关的田野中保持最新状态。尽管如此,预计这将产生新的应用程序和改进的工业流程。结果,将进行针对较低成本,可持续紫外线和EB可再疗树脂的会议,以提供更多的见解。
