The New Dimension of Production:
Expo3D Istanbul
Manufacturing processes worldwide are undergoing a radical transformation. Additive manufacturing technologies are redefining traditional manufacturing approaches in numerous sectors, from design and engineering to medicine and defense. With the widespread use of 3D printers, production is becoming faster, more sustainable, and more personalized.
Expo3D Istanbul aims to be the most powerful platform for this transformation in the region. The event, held at the Istanbul Expo Center from April 17–19, 2026, will bring together all stakeholders in the industry, focusing on 3D printers, advanced manufacturing materials, software solutions, design technologies, and finishing systems.
Global Vision, Regional Power
The global 3D printing market is revolutionizing manufacturing technologies, with a size expected to exceed $100 billion by 2030. As the transition to innovative production models accelerates in strategic sectors such as the automotive, aerospace, medical, and defense industries, investments are also gaining momentum on a global scale.
Turkey is progressing towards becoming a major production and innovation hub for this transformation. With its developing industrial infrastructure, young engineering population, R&D incentives, and strategic geographic location, Turkey has the potential to become a regional hub for 3D printing technologies, engineering software, and industrial materials production.
By combining this potential with international collaborations, Expo3D Istanbul aims to make Türkiye the regional meeting point for 3D production technologies.
