3D Printing Industrial Technologies from Japan to World, form World to Japan
The Association organizes overseas industry trend report sessions, seminars, educational courses, and symposiums.
We also coordinate joint exhibition participation by member companies.
We will report on the latest developments in 3D printing and additive manufacturing (AM) worldwide, based on on-site coverage of Formnext 2026, one of the world’s largest trade fairs for AM and industrial 3D printing. We will also attend and report on the co-located conference, AM Innovation and Standards Summit at Formnext 2026. In addition, visits to leading research institutions and advanced technology companies will be conducted, with findings and insights on the latest technological advancements shared with participants.
In this lecture-style course, participants will learn the fundamental principles and materials used in the seven basic 3D printing technologies.
In addition, as a special program held in collaboration with the TCT Japan exhibition, participants will also join a guided tour of the TCT Japan exhibition hall.
The tour includes opportunities to:
Observe actual 3D printer operations
Watch post-processing procedures for 3D-printed models
Handle and examine sample parts produced using various 3D printing technologies
By combining classroom instruction with hands-on booth experiences, participants can gain a practical and effective understanding of 3D printing technologies.
