This webinar was focused on how 3D printing with polyurethane (PUR) polymers. Best known for common thermosetting varieties that do not melt when heated, polyurethane can also be found in thermoplastic varieties as well. As a whole, PUR polymers are amongst the most ubiquitous in our world today having applications in foam seatings, insulation panels, seals and gaskets, wheels and tires, high-performance adhesives, surface coatings, and synthetic fibers.

Safety Management Systems (SMS) have proven to be very effective in reducing the extent and severity of work-related injuries and illnesses. Several consensus standards are in use that outline the essential elements of an SMS, such as the American National Standard Institute’s (ANSI) Z10:2005 or the International Organization for Standardization’s (ISO) 45001 Standard. Although there are differences between the various SMS standards, there are core principles that support any SMS and are common to all systems.
