Polymers remain at the heart of additive manufacturing, and their role is rapidly expanding. Once used mainly for prototyping, they\u2019re now powering end-use parts and large-scale industrial applications. That\u2019s why we\u2019re bringing them back into focus at the third edition of ADDITIV Polymers World<\/strong>, happening virtually on October 9th, 2025.<\/strong> Hosted on Swapcard, the event makes it easy to attend live sessions, network, and message participants. You\u2019ll even be able to schedule one-on-one meetings with key players from the polymer AM market, before and after the event. Confirmed sponsors and partners include EOS, Raplas, SPE<\/a>, IAM3DHUB, 3DPrint.com, Wevolver, ASTM and AMGTA. Register here for FREE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last year, more than 500 professionals<\/strong> joined, and with 6<\/strong>00+ registrations already in<\/strong>, this year promises to be even bigger. The question is: what topics will take center stage in 2025?<\/strong><\/p>\n

ADDITIV Polymers World 2025<\/strong> will bring together leading voices in polymer additive manufacturing through three panels and two workshops. The first panel will explore how polymer AM is transforming medicine<\/strong> today, with Sherri Monroe, Executive Director at AMGTA, moderating a discussion featuring Liam Krueger, a PhD candidate in 3D-printed pharmaceuticals at the University of Queensland; Gabe Linke, 3D Imaging and Advanced Visualization Manager at Children\u2019s Nebraska; and Daniel Seiler, Laboratory Leader Medical Additive Manufacturing at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland.<\/p>

The second panel will shift the focus to composite 3D printing<\/strong> for industrial applications. Gil Lavi, CEO of 3D Alliances, will serve as moderator, joined by Dr. Seokpum Kim, Senior R&D Scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory; and Kelvin Fu, Assistant Professor at the University of Delaware. Finally, the third panel will examine broader market trends<\/strong> and the future of the sector, with perspectives from Lionel Ridosz, Additive Manufacturing Director at Safran; Richard Wooldridge, CEO of Raplas Technologies Ltd; and Christian Seidel, <\/span>Strategic Implementation Consultant at Wohlers Associates. The discussion will be moderated by Michael John Sweers, founder of More Than Layers.<\/p>\n

Alongside the panels, the event will also feature two workshops, offering attendees a chance to gain more in-depth knowledge of solutions relevant to the polymer AM market. The first workshop will feature two experts from EOS: \u00a0Dominik Sippel, <\/span>Additive Minds Consultant Polymer and Anekant Jain,<\/span> Manager of Polymer Technology. Together, they will explore simulations in polymer 3D printing. The second workshop topic is to be announced, so stay tuned and check the full agenda HERE<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

On-demand content will also be available to all who register. This includes insights from the first editions of ADDITIV Polymers World, plus content about different aspects of polymer 3D printing, including tips, exciting applications and more.
