TCT 3Sixty

TCT 3Sixty (discontinued as a NEC exhibition)

TCT 3Sixty was the UK's dedicated industrial 3D printing and additive manufacturing exhibition, organised by Rapid News / The TCT Group. The last edition ran 2–4 June 2026 at NEC Birmingham Hall 8 (North Ave, Marston Green, B40 1NT).

Official opening hours for that edition: Tuesday 2 June 09:30–17:00; Wednesday 3 June 09:30–17:00; Thursday 4 June 09:30–16:00. The free on-floor conference ran alongside the show. In 2026 the event was co-located with Med-Tech Expo and Interplas (one badge).

On 9 June 2026, TCT Group CEO Duncan Wood announced that TCT 3Sixty will not run as an exhibition at the NEC in 2027. The organiser cited market consolidation, weaker UK machine demand, and insufficient exhibitor support. Additive manufacturing will instead appear at complementary UK events (e.g. Interplas, MACH, Med-Tech Expo). Large dedicated AM shows continue in China (TCT Asia), Germany (Formnext) and the USA (RAPID + TCT). The group said it plans a different, unspecified UK format in June 2027 — that is not a continuation of this NEC exhibition.
