For more than 30 years, since the beginning of additive manufacturing, SME has been there with our RAPID + TCT event. With an exhibit floor the size of two soccer fields, hands-on exhibits that showcase the latest 3D technologies and applications, and an education program and technical conference that spotlight more than 150 leaders, RAPID + TCT is North America’s largest, most influential additive manufacturing event. Produced in partnership with the U.K.’s Rapid News Group, the event connects and educates 10,000 manufacturing professionals and beginners, both buyers and sellers, during three days of event activities that unite the dynamic and growing additive manufacturing community.
