Ultimaker Application Engineers Lars de Jongh and Jeremy Evers host the webinar, which runs approximately 40 minutes and includes a live Q&A with Matt Griffin, Director of Community Development for Ultimaker Americas. During the entire webinar, viewers could ask questions via a chat function, download assets such as diagrams and comparison charts, and vote in polls.
The recorded broadcast teaches viewers how to:
Identify high-value applications that would benefit from composites
Make the perfect choice between glass and carbon-fiber
3D print advanced materials with the right settings
Select the best materials for 3D printing end-use parts
Use dual extrusion to take composite 3D printing to the next level
You’ll also get an up-close look at real-life examples of composite parts that Ultimaker Application Engineers have recently worked on and created for customers.
You really need to have a certain mindset to start off with tackling higher-requirement applications.
In the live Q&A, you’ll learn the answers to questions such as:
Which material would you recommend starting with for your first composite print?
Is there a composite material that makes prints both stronger and more flexible?
What are the key differences between chopped fiber composites and continuous fiber? Why would you choose one over the other?
The next Ultimaker webinar, “The 3D printing mindset: Distributed manufacturing”, is scheduled for February 19, at 10am and 5pm CET. Keep an eye on Ultimaker’s social media channels in the coming weeks for a sign-up link. We look forward to seeing you there!

We always love to see social media posts, blogs, and videos about how people are using Ultimaker 3D printers. For some time, Dinara Kasko has been lighting up news feeds with her ‘geometric desserts’, where she has creatively used 3D printing to produce m
3D printing is becoming increasingly integral in the workplace. It helps companies validate designs, perform functional tests, and bring products to market more quickly. 3D printed prototypes are useful for communicating concepts with stakeholders, result
All 3D printing technologies are based on a common principle – a 3D CAD model is sliced horizontally into separate cross-sections, that are then printed sequentially on top of each other to form a three-dimensional object. However, FFF, SLA, and SLS take
Integrating a desktop 3D printer into your workflow can yield impressive results, from creating concepts and prototypes for products to small batches of tooling, or even medical models for surgeons. Here’s a look at five of the ways 3D printing can improv
While aid initiatives involving 3D printed functional prosthetics in Sierra Leone already exist, they are not time and cost-efficient. Surgical resident Lars Brouwers believed that there must be a better way to get aid to those affected.
Most slicing software will assign a constant spacing between each layer–known as the layer height. Very fine layer height will result in a high-resolution model, but each extra layer will add time to the printing process. A thicker layer height will print
One of the benefits of Ultimaker Cura is the ability for users to extend the core functionality of the software to streamline the 3D printing workflow. Users can experiment and deploy modifications to Ultimaker Cura to integrate different software, read c
