From tactical UAVs to field-ready tooling: Discover the materials replacing traditional supply chains.

Join UltiMaker and Tectonic 3D for a deep dive into the materials, applications, and techniques shaping the future of Defense additive manufacturing.

In this exclusive joint session, experts will showcase how cutting-edge composites and engineering-grade polymers are solving critical challenges in the field—specifically in the rapid deployment and repair of drone fleets and tactical equipment.

You will learn how innovations like microcell technology are enabling lighter, stronger airframes, and how high-temperature composites are replacing metal components in demanding environments. Whether you are prototyping at the base or producing end-use parts in the field, this session will equip you with the workflows to print with confidence on UltiMaker S Series and Factor 4 printers.

What you’ll learn:

• Material Selection: Which Tectonic 3D materials are best suited for Defense-specific applications, including Zephyr PA11 CF MC for lightweighting.
• Real-World Applications: A look at field-ready parts, from custom tooling and jigs to functional UAV airframes and components.
• Process Optimization: How to use specialized print profiles to ensure reliability and repeatability on UltiMaker hardware.
• Advanced Innovation: A preview of microcell technology and how it reduces weight without sacrificing structural integrity.
