Sam Reiss
Sam and the additive manufacturing team are leading
the commercialization of the first ever 3D printing
technology that can print pure PTFE parts, enabling
novel customer applications through cost-effective
manufacturing of part geometries unable to be
produced through any other means.
Sam has been with 3M since 2014, in multiple roles
including regulatory and product development. He
holds both a BS and MS in Nuclear Engineering from
the University of Wisconsin – Madison.
Senior Application Engineer

Properties of PTFE
Nearly universal chemical resistance
Wide service temperature range
of -200°C to +260°C
Excellent dielectric properties
High limiting oxygen index (LOI)
Low surface energy
Low coefficient of friction
Outstanding weathering & UV stability
Atomizing Nozzle
No dripping or flow above its melt
temperature
