The TCT Group’s mission is to accelerate the adoption of 3D technologies for design, development and manufacture across all industry sectors. Our events bring together leading providers in the world of 3D printing, additive manufacturing, CAD/CAE, metrology and inspection, as well as traditional manufacturing processes such as moulding, casting and CNC machining.

TCT Show + Personalize, Birmingham, UK, is the longest-running event in The TCT Group’s portfolio and has been delivering business critical updates since the early days of rapid prototyping. It has become the de facto event for 3D technologies with over 70 AM and 3D printing machines showcased alongside competing and complementary technologies during the 2015 event.

With over 220 exhibitors TCT Show is dedicated to accelerating the adoption of 3D technologies in whatever guise they take, be that software, inspection and metrology or simply new and innovative methods on traditional manufacturing techniques such as moulding, tooling and machining.

For 2016, the conference will see perhaps the biggest changes to the format and focus since its inception. While a number of traditional presentations from users of 3D technologies will be retained, they will be complemented by live debate and discussion, interactive sessions and addresses from speakers whose expertise lies on the fringes of the TCT realm.

In 2016 we expect over 7,000 attendees from over 50 countries to visit TCT Show for insights, education and most importantly to do business. The mix of inspirational speakers, cutting edge technology and innovative initiatives such as the Startup Zone, TCT Introducing, Inspired Minds and the RepRap Hub — all accessible with no entrance fees for attendees — is unique.

As a result TCT attracts business leaders, early adopters and a wide range of users from across concept, design and manufacturing to an event where they can see tomorrow’s technology today.
