The 3D printing events schedule is increasingly busy, seemingly with an additive manufacturing forum or function taking place practically every week. Here we highlight several upcoming summits, symposia, and showcase highlights for your diary. Already in 2025, the 3D Printing Industry team has reported from leading events like the AMUG Conference and RAPID + TCT. Our reporters have also attended smaller, more focused events – disseminating useful insights, increasing visibility, and providing a depth of coverage that aligns with our knowledge sharing objectives. Also, keep an eye out for our upcoming reports from AM Platform and AMUK events and the Materialise 3D Planning and Printing in Hospitals Forum. 3D Printing in the Tyre Mold Industry – 8th May 2025 The tyre mold industry is facing significant challenges due to the increasing complexity of tyre tread designs and the high precision required to produce them.
