Registration for the premier gathering of 3D printing technology providers and industry leaders is now open, and is free to guests of 3D Printing Industry!
RAPID + TCT 2023, North America’s largest and most significant additive manufacturing event, will return to Chicago’s McCormick Place on May 2-4, 2023.
The event will feature an extensive collection of 3D printing technologies as well as insights from experts who provide “next-level” solutions to real-world issues. SME and Rapid News Publications will be hosting the three-day event, which will showcase hundreds of exhibitors presenting the most recent and revolutionary technology innovations from a variety of industries.
RAPID + TCT will include a keynote presentation each day, alongside a multitude of thought-leadership panels and interactive presentations from industry experts and pioneers encompassing AM trends in sectors like healthcare, aerospace, defense, automotive, Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM), economics, R&D, distribution networks, metrology, and more. The range of topics will begin from large-format 3D printing in the consumer goods sector to designs in the healthcare industry and the influence of micro 3D printing on prototyping.
Industry Partners include 3MF Consortium, AMGTA, America Makes, ASTM, Women in 3D Printing, and more.
“The exponential growth of Additive Manufacturing continues to disrupt the status quo and unlock potential for manufacturers across the world,” said Robert Willig, SME Executive Director, and CEO.
“The additive manufacturing industry continues to progress at pace, with ever more innovation in the new applications we are seeing. RAPID + TCT is the place to see this innovation firsthand, whether it is presented on the extensive exhibition floor or through the stories told by experts at the conference,” said Duncan Wood, CEO, of Rapid News Publications Ltd. “We are looking forward to another successful edition of the most-influential additive manufacturing event in North America!”
