Putting Materials and AM Processes in the Spotlight at RAPID + TCT

One of the core aspects that makes RAPID + TCT more than just a trade show is its conference. This year, there will be more than 140 technical presentations divided into eight tracks, only accessible for attendees with a conference pass, available for all three days or a specific day. Here, it is possible to learn everything from design to how to optimize the 3D printing process for a part, along with numerous applications. Presentations are designed and delivered from experts from Ford, Siemens Energy, BlueForge Alliance, the U.S. Navy, and more.

But beyond applications, two of the most relevant tracks at the conference this year for those looking to further enhance their additive manufacturing capabilities are materials development and process development. Perhaps not as intuitively applicable as the industry-focused tracks like aerospace, defense, ecosystem, healthcare and mobility, these are the core of what an attendee needs to truly understand additive manufacturing. Everyone will benefit, whether they are an expert or a beginner to the technology.

Conference and technical presentations are the core of RAPID + TCT 2025
