Webinar recap: How to choose the right composite material

Ultimaker’s first webinar, “The 3D printing mindset: How to choose the right composite material,” was broadcast on January 22. It is the first in what will become a series of monthly webinars that focus on specific, deep-dive topics that we believe are important to Ultimaker users.

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?

What’s next?

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!
