Master Additive Manufacturing in Different Verticals at RAPID + TCT 2025

When asked about the barriers for additive manufacturing adoption, one that constantly comes up is the lack of knowledge or expertise in the field. Although AM technologies have been around since the 80s, many engineers still do not have the necessary skills to use them. This is where education and events like RAPID + TCT come in.

Lack of education and the resulting skills shortage has long been identified as a major obstacle for AM integration, especially when it comes to industries that are less accustomed to 3D printing. This is being addressed by an increasing amount of AM courses at prestigious universities but also through manufacturing events. In fact, RAPID + TCT is one of the leaders in this as one of the first events to implement a full educational conference component and remains one of the most extensive to this day. Let’s take a look at what that means for the 2025 edition.
