RadTech, the nonprofit trade association for ultraviolet and electron beam (UV+EB) technologies, has announced the successful completion of Photopolymer Week 2025, held September 15–19 at the University of Colorado Boulder. Set against the iconic Flatiron mountain range, the event brought together leading researchers, innovators, and engineers to showcase the latest advancements in photopolymer science.
The week began with the 2025 Photopolymer Additive Manufacturing Alliance (PAMA) Workshop, which featured four dynamic panels on photopolymer additive manufacturing. Moderators guided highly interactive sessions that encouraged audience participation and cross-disciplinary dialogue.
Following the workshop, the Photopolymerization Fundamentals (PF) Conference commenced with a series of short courses and continued with over 60 technical talks and numerous poster presentations. Beyond the science, attendees connected at engaging social events, including a rooftop welcome reception, dinner at the historic Chautauqua Dining Hall, and informal networking over coffee breaks.
With over 175 participants from across academia, industry, and government, Photopolymer Week 2025 was a resounding success. The program highlighted RadTech’s mission to foster collaboration, accelerate innovation, and strengthen the global UV+EB community.
“Photopolymer Week is a unique opportunity to bring together brilliant minds working at the frontiers of materials science and technology,” said Mickey Fortune, Associate Executive Director. “The energy, ideas, and connections formed in Boulder will continue to drive progress in photopolymers for years to come.”
