The anticipation builds as TCT 3Sixty, the leading event in the UK for 3D printing and additive manufacturing, draws near. Scheduled for 4 to 5 June at the NEC Birmingham, this two-day event promises to unite industry pioneers, innovative brands and the latest technological breakthroughs.
TCT 3Sixty provides a crucial platform for networking, learning and exploring advancements in the additive manufacturing sector.
Unlocking opportunities for manufacturing professionals
With over 150 exhibitors and an expected attendance of more than 5,000, TCT 3Sixty 2025 is tailored for professionals eager to explore, implement, or enhance 3D technologies in their operations. According to Charlotte Penny, Group Marketing Manager at Rapid News Group, the event is invaluable: “It offers a significant opportunity for attendees to uncover innovative solutions that enhance productivity and address common manufacturing challenges. Whether you’re considering technology for the first time, ready to invest in new equipment, or looking to optimise existing systems, TCT 3Sixty will provide the guidance you need.”
Strategic initiatives to accelerate additive manufacturing adoption
The 2025 edition of TCT 3Sixty will host various meetings, events and initiatives helping to unlock AM’s transformative potential across industries.
- TCT User Group: this meeting brings together UK users of additive manufacturing technologies across a breadth of industries for a deep dive into the roadblocks hampering AM adoption and optimisation. The day provides a range of opportunities for debate and knowledge exchange, with the aim for participants to share experiences and begin to find routes to possible solutions to these roadblocks, whether for individual cases or for the broader issues additive faces. Attendees should register their interest via the TCT 3Sixty registration form at www.tct3sixty.com.
- MOD’s Project Tampa: project TAMPA was created by the Chief of Defence Logistics & Support in 2021 to accelerate the use of Additive Manufacturing technologies within the UK Defence Industry. The aim is to contribute to a step change in platform and equipment availability and readiness. The project holds regular working groups throughout the year and the second meeting for 2025 will be alongside day 1 of TCT 3Sixty enabling Project TAMPA contributors to look first-hand at the UK AM sector. Register for TCT 3Sixty for more information about this workshop.
- TCT Knowledge Bar: powered by Additive Manufacturing UK (AMUK), this distinctive feature on the show floor will provide complimentary one-on-one consultations. Attendees can receive expert advice from a group of specialists in 3D printing and additive manufacturing, helping them tackle specific challenges and discover customised solutions for their projects.
Educational opportunities for industry leaders
