TCT 3Sixty Conference

The TCT 3Sixty Conference 2026 is where the AM community comes for clarity, direction and substance. Built by the editorial and technical minds behind TCT Magazine and RAPID + TCT conference, the programme cuts through the noise to deliver the insights that actually matter, guided by an advisory board with more than a century of combined experience at the sharp end of additive innovation.

Located on the show floor and completely free to attend, the conference is designed to give every visitor - engineers, designers, decision makers and newcomers - the tools to make smarter AM decisions. Expect straighttalking speakers, a broad technical programme and the latest developments from across the 3D printing ecosystem. If you want practical, applicable knowledge that moves projects forward, this is where you get it.

User Insights

Across the three mornings of TCT 3Sixty 2026, our User Insights sessions will put realworld additive expertise front and centre. These focused tracks bring honest, experiencedriven perspectives directly from AM users working at the sharp end of adoption - across defence, industrial production, workforce development and beyond. Through candid presentations and panel discussions, visitors will hear what’s working, what isn’t, and what it really takes to embed additive technologies for meaningful, scalable impact. Whether you’re refining a production workflow or building the teams to support it, these sessions deliver the unfiltered insights that only active users can provide.
