In this webinar, we’ll walk you through a three-step framework on how to choose a thermoset material and make some recommendations based on popular thermoplastics. After attending this webinar you’ll know if in-house SLA 3D printing can produce parts for your prototyping, validation, or end-use needs.
From producing isotropic parts to needing fewer design constraints, in-house stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing has many advantages. However, since thermoplastics aren’t used in SLA 3D printing, selecting a material is not always straightforward for most engineers.
In this webinar, we’ll walk you through a three-step framework on how to choose a thermoset material and make some recommendations based on popular thermoplastics. After attending this webinar you’ll know if in-house SLA 3D printing can produce parts for your prototyping, validation, or end-use needs.
During this expert-led webinar, you will learn:
- How to translate performance requirements like a snap fit into materials requirements like flexural or tensile modulus
- The differences and similarities between thermoplastics and thermosets when it comes to properties such as impact resistance, HDT, creep, and more
- Which specific thermosets we recommend based on hard or soft plastics you’re familiar with
- How a 3D printed material behaves when it is repeatedly put under stress, such as being hit with a hammer, in a live video demonstration
