The Tct Group

Rapid News Publications Ltd, the owner of the TCT Group, has been a leading authority in additive manufacturing, 3D printing, design and engineering technology for 30 years. A rich mix of live events and all-encompassing media portfolio enables TCT to deliver business critical intelligence, connecting the additive community across Europe, North America and Asia. By focusing on cutting edge applications, expert analysis and commentary, TCT helps designers, engineers and buyers evaluate, adopt and optimise their additive requirements. The TCT Group mission goes beyond simply raising awareness and adoption of these exciting technologies and is focused on developing a deep 360-degree understanding of the real potential of additive and 3D printing technology for engineers at all stages of design and manufacturing. An early pioneer in the use of the technologies, the UK is now a powerhouse in 3D printing and additive manufacturing with one of the largest installed bases of machines across the globe, a world-class research capability and a market projected to be worth 1 billion GBP by 2030. TCT 3Sixty is firmly established as the UK's definitive and most influential 3D printing and additive manufacturing event. TCT 3Sixty will take place at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC), Birmingham, UK, from 3-4 June 2026.
