Panel I: Current State of Photopolymer 3D Printing and Beyond

This session will explore where photopolymer additive manufacturing stands today and where it’s heading next. Panelists will reflect on the foundational advances that brought us to the current state of SLA, DLP, DIW, and other technologies, and share insights into the hardware, materials, and process innovations needed to overcome technical and commercial barriers. From bioprinting to large-scale manufacturing, this will be an open discussion on aligning technology development with real-world application demands.

Panel II: Regulations, Safety, and Standards in a Changing Landscape

With new regulations around monomers, photoinitiators, and workplace safety taking effect, many in the PAM field face growing uncertainty. This panel will focus on the latest regulatory shifts, standards efforts, and safety considerations impacting material development and commercialization. From REACH and Prop 65 to emission testing and workplace exposure, panelists will share insights to help organizations navigate compliance and reduce risk, while still driving innovation.

Panel III: Materials Innovation and Print Reliability: Performance, Data, and Practical Challenges

This session will go beyond new material innovations to tackle one of the most persistent challenges in PAM, why printed parts often fail to meet the mechanical properties listed on technical datasheets. Panelists will discuss how material design, printer settings, and post-processing all affect outcomes, and what’s needed to build reliability into the process. This will be a Socratic-style discussion where attendees are encouraged to share failures, ask hard questions, and work together to troubleshoot common print issues.
