London webinar to focus on elastomers in 3D printing

London – UK-based Rubber in Engineering Group (RIEF) is holding a webinar elastomers used in additive manufacturing in the afternoon of 17 Sept.  

Championed by Dr Khai Nguyen, senior product development scientist at sustainable materials company Puraffinity, the free webinar will focus on the use of elastomers and elastomeric-like materials in 3D printing.

The talks will discuss the latest developments of 3D printable elastomer systems, printing technologies and products that have been achieved using the manufacturing approach.

The confirmed speaker programme includes:
•    Dr Sarah Karmel (Rheon Labs) - The challenges and solutions associated with 3D printable elastomers
•    Chiara Da San Martino (Queen Mary University of London) - Extrusion-based 3D printing of novel silicone elastomers with advanced properties
•    Ryan Flattery (NinjaTek & Fenner Precision Polymers) - The Versatility of 3D Printed TPU: current uses and future directions
•    Robert Young (Photocentric) - Visible light photo-polymerisation of elastomers

The free event is sponsored by ACE, ARTIS, Birch Chemicals, Endurica & Zeon. 

RIEG’s next webinar will be held on the 10 Dec and will review elastomers used in “high frequency applications.”

The event’s champions are Dr Roly Whear of Jaguar LandRover or and Merryn Hobbs from Trelleborg.
