Colocation. Community. Collaboration.

The countdown is on as we make our way to April 8-10, 2025 ― and you don’t want to miss this next-level collaborative and immersive experience. There’s something special about the hum of the RAPID + TCT show floor. As the doors open and the space fills with the most dynamic and influential conversations in additive manufacturing (AM), the energy is palpable.

If you had the opportunity to interface with the audiences, exhibitors and attendees of not one, not two, but three other heavyweight manufacturing events at the same time, would you take it? That’s exactly what we’re offering this year at RAPID + TCT 2025.

SME and the Rapid News Publications Ltd., owners of the TCT Group, join forces with three other heavyweight events in North American manufacturing ― SAE’s trademark mobility event, the World Congress Experience (WCX); America Makes’ Spring Technical Review and Exchange (TRX); and SME’s own AeroDef Manufacturing. Located right on the RAPID + TCT show floor, AeroDef Manufacturing provides unlimited access to new peers in ground systems, aerospace, maritime and space for both commercial and military acquisition personnel. 

This collection of events, all colocating under one roof with RAPID + TCT at Huntington Place in Detroit, America’s Motor City and home to U.S. manufacturing, will be the most dynamic collection of minds in additive manufacturing to date.
