About this event
Register for America Makes July 15 TRX Webinar, "Ultrasonic Welding of Polymer Composite Tape to 3D Printed Structures for Reinforcement Applications," featuring Jim Stratton, President.
Who should attend
If you work where additive manufacturing, composite reinforcement, and real-world performance meet, this webinar is built for you. - **You’re an engineer or technical lead** exploring how to strengthen 3D printed structures for more demanding use cases, especially where reinforcement strategy matters as much as print design. - **You work in advanced manufacturing or R&D** and want a clearer view of how ultrasonic welding of polymer composite tape can be applied to printed parts. - **You support defense or other high-performance applications** where durability, structural performance, and practical manufacturing methods are under constant scrutiny. - **You’re involved in materials, process development, or manufacturing integration** and want to better understand how welding-based reinforcement approaches could fit into existing workflows. - **You evaluate emerging production methods** and need technical insight that helps you separate promising concepts from methods that are hard to scale or implement. - **You’re a program manager, innovation leader, or decision-maker** looking for a concise, technically grounded session on reinforcement applications that could influence future development priorities. If you’re asking how to get more from printed polymer structures without treating reinforcement as an afterthought, you’ll likely find this session time well spent.
