Presentation video link
Presenter: Bob Gafvert, VP of Sales
Presentation Abstract:
Chromatic 3D Materials (www.c3dmaterials.com) is a full technology company that enables printing industrial-strength elastomers onto a variety of materials and substrates in real world applications. With this platform you can print polyurethane directly on any substrate for existing, new, or unconventional assemblies incorporating metal, textiles, plastics, wood, and ceramics.
Bob Gafvert, VP of Sales, will be sharing the full Chromatic 3D platform while diving into existing applications and the flexibility of the system for end use parts and programs. He will be walking though how Chromatic 3D allows for printing unique geometries for novel product designs with no melting, lasers or post processing and makes it possible to print products with qualified materials you know and trust. A range of thermoset polyurethane elastomers in Shore A 50 - D 65 that you can fully customize flexibility, strength, and color.
12:00 – 1:00 - Networking Lunch
