On 29th January, TCT Japan will open its doors to almost 50,000 visitors for Japan's leading event for 3D printing and additive intelligence, and will host more than 100 exhibitors on the show floor.
TCT Japan will showcase the latest additive manufacturing technology solutions and innovations from over 100 leading exhibitors from across the globe including Filament PM, Formlabs, Hitachi, JX Nippon Mining & Metals, Materialise, Mitsubushi, Multiphoton Optics, Nabertherm GmbH, nTopology, Sanyo Special Steel, Sindoh, Toshiba Machine and Trumpf.
Attending TCT Japan, you will be inspired and gain insights from the world-class conference held across two stages: TCT Conference and TCT Introducing Stage.
TCT Japan will raise the bar with its user-led conference which will bring together industry experts and trailblazers, guaranteeing to enthral the audience with fascinating talks and panel discussions on aerospace, automotive, rail, healthcare and business sectors. Here are just a few of the discussion topics:
Advancing the State of AM Adoption: Impacts of Transformative Technologies and Standards Harmonization – Tim Shinbara, The Association for Manufacturing Technology
The Role of Startups in the Additive Manufacturing Industry – Sangmin “Simon” Lee, AM Ventures
Advanced Metal Powders for Additive Manufacturing - Cu・Ti・Ta・Nb - Shingo Funahashi, JX Nippon Mining & Metals Corporation
Unleashing Additive Manufacturing Potential in Design of High-Temperature Applications: A Novel Multi-Physics Topology Optimization Approach – Sebastian Bersch, Siemens
With the rapid growth of 3D technologies across all industry sectors, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with the recent innovations. TCT Introducing Stage will showcase inspiring talks, live debates, and interactive sessions on the latest additive manufacturing product developments and services across hardware, software, and ancillaries, led by TCT Japan’s most prominent exhibitors including Formlabs, Bruker Japan, GF Machining Solutions, Digital Metal, and many more.
“TCT Japan remains a firm favourite in the diaries of the international TCT team, not only for the opportunity to sample Japan's unique culture but because the event sheds light on one of the most interesting global markets for 3D printing and additive manufacturing.
In its second year as part of the TCT portfolio, TCT Japan will once again provide a platform for international companies to exhibit their latest hardware, software and materials developments while highlighting the innovative applications developed by Japanese users.
We are delighted to continue to build the fruitful partnership between Rapid News Publications and JTB Communication Design Ltd. with another high-profile and well attended event.”

Exhibitor Highlights
TCT Japan will be used by many exhibitors to showcase new and exciting product launches to the Asian market. Here are just a few of the highlights to look out for:
Altech will exhibit Stratasys’ J850 platform in Japan for the very first time after its launch in October. The multi-colour, multi-platform is being targeted at designers who wish to streamline the design process and create greater detailed parts. Altech will also present the Stratasys F120, MakerBot Method X, plus solutions from Desktop Metal and Massivit. (Booth J04)
Digital Metal will showcase its DM P2500 binder jetting machine which is designed to support both prototyping and production. The system promises high productivity, thanks in large part to its ability to stack components with no support structures and less than 1mm between parts, as well as a changeover to the next job being possible in under 25 minutes. Nearly 100% of unused powder can also be recycled. (Booth M17)
After a flurry of new product introductions in 2019, TCT Japan visitors will see for the first time the Formlabs 3, 3B and 3L platforms, in addition to the Form 1, 1+ and 2 systems which will be on display in a heritage display area on the company’s booth. Formlabs’ Form 3 line of printers are powered by the company’s Low Force Stereolithography (LFS) technology, which works to reduce the forces exerted on parts during the print process in order to ensure improved surface quality. (Booth M10)
nTopology will debut its computational modelling software technology in Tokyo, having launched its nTop Platform in the spring of 2019. The company’s flagship product gives users the ability to work on design, simulation and advanced manufacturing processes simultaneously in a single workflow and promises to help engineers better optimise parts and do so more quickly. (Booth J19)
Mimaki will showcase its full-colour, UV-curable inkjet platform which can support more than 10 million shades. The 3DUJ-553 machine is able to support the needs of manufacturers, healthcare companies, construction outfits and educators. Mimaki will also present its 3DFF-222 desktop printer which it brought to market last year in partnership with Sindoh. (Booth H22)
Zortrax will be represented at TCT Japan by System Inn Nakagomi, who will showcase the M300 Dual platform for the first time. The M300 Dual is a double extrusion platform, upgraded from the M300 Plus, and now supporting water soluble support structures. Apium’ P220 platform will also be exhibited on this stand.
TCT Japan will be an engaging and exciting opportunity to explore emerging technology, discover new products and will optimise adoption.
TCT Japan will take place 29-31 January 2020, in South Hall 3 & 4, Tokyo Big Sight, Tokyo, Japan.
