Rapid.Tech 3D Erfurt

The Rapid.Tech 3D, formerly Rapid.Tech + FabCon 3.D, is an internationally renowned trade fair for additive manufacturing and 3D printing, taking place at Messe Erfurt since 2013. Messe Erfurt is a modern exhibition and event center. The fair is held annually, usually in May or June, attracting thousands of visitors from around the world. Additive manufacturing and 3D printing have gained considerable importance for the industry in recent years and now play a crucial role in various sectors. These technologies enable faster and more cost-efficient production of prototypes, tools, and final products, thus contributing to the acceleration of innovation processes and the optimization of supply chains. In industries such as aerospace, automotive, medicine, construction, electronics, and mechanical engineering, additive manufacturing processes have great potential to complement or even replace traditional manufacturing processes. 3D printing methods allow for greater design freedom and performance optimization by enabling the production of complex geometries and individually tailored components. Additive manufacturing also contributes to the reduction of material waste and energy consumption, making it a more environmentally friendly alternative to conventional manufacturing methods. The fair is organized by Messe Erfurt AG, an experienced trade fair and event organizer. Rapid.Tech 3D is aimed at industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical, electronics, and mechanical engineering, showcasing innovative products and solutions in the fields of 3D printing, rapid prototyping, and generative manufacturing. At Rapid.Tech 3D, exhibitors from the fields of 3D printing, rapid prototyping, scanning, and software present their latest products and developments. Visitors can learn about the latest trends and technologies, attend expert presentations, and make contacts. The focus of the fair is on the exchange of knowledge and experience, the presentation of new technologies, and the networking of experts from industry, research, and development. Highlights include live demonstrations, the Rapid.Tech 3D conference, the Start-Up Area, and the 3D Printing Design Award. In summary, Rapid.Tech 3D is an important trade fair for the additive manufacturing and 3D printing industry. With its extensive program and international orientation, it is a must for everyone interested in the future of 3D printing.

The Rapid.Tech 3D will take place on 3 days from Tuesday, 13. May to Thursday, 15. May 2025 in Erfurt.
