RAPID + TCT<\/a>, a North America-based additive manufacturing (AM) and industrial 3D printing event, will bring the global AM community to Boston, April 13-16, 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs additive manufacturing has moved beyond experimentation and into full-scale production, RAPID + TCT is responding with a strategically restructured conference featuring highly specialized, industry-specific tracks,\u201d says Brett Conner, chief manufacturing officer at SME. <\/p>\n

The expanded program is built to address the real-world challenges manufacturers face\u2014certification, economic viability, scale, and the integration of digital and physical workflows.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s conference programming spans nine focused tracks: Aerospace, Defense, Consumer Products, Energy, Healthcare, Transportation, Material Development, Process Development.<\/p>\n

New for 2026 is the ninth track, Essential AM, which reflects a transformation in how additive manufacturing knowledge is shared and applied. This track spotlights the critical elements required to support and optimize the use of these technologies that translate across sectors.<\/p>\n

Ubiquity of AI <\/h3>\n

The impact of AI across the additive manufacturing workflow will be reflected throughout the 2026 conference program. Featured sessions include:<\/p>\n
