TCT UK User Group | The UK 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing Exhibition

TCT UK User Group

Facilitating knowledge exchange between UK users of Additive Manufacturing

The TCT UK User Group Meeting is an annual event bringing together UK users of additive manufacturing technologies across a breadth of industries for a deep dive into the roadblocks hampering AM adoption and optimisation.  

For 2026, the TCT UK User Group will be embedded within TCT 3Sixty, creating greater visibility for user voices and stronger engagement on the show floor. By integrating the User Group into the wider event, participants will benefit from expanded reach while remaining part of a dedicated, peer‑led community.

User Group Programme Details

The core User Group programme will take place on Day 1 – Tuesday 2 June, forming the focal point of activity.

The morning of Day 1 will spotlight UK additive manufacturing user insights on the main stage, with a programme of presentations that is open to all TCT3Sixty visitors. These sessions will showcase real‑world applications, lessons learned, and practical perspectives from across the UK AM community, helping to set the tone for deeper discussion throughout the day.

In the afternoon, registered User Group members will move into focused breakout sessions, providing a more intimate setting for peer‑to‑peer exchange. These discussions will be designed to share practical experiences, explore common challenges, and collectively progress industry‑wide conversations, ensuring attendees leave with actionable insights and valuable new connections.
