rapid.tech 3D: Pioneers Challenge
Anniversary exhibition of the International design competition for additive manufacturing and advanced technologies
From the very beginning, the 3D Pioneers Challenge has addressed the pioneers and innovators who are resiliently shaping a sustainable tomorrow. Pushing boundaries.
To mark the anniversary, we take a look back and eagerly await the answer of who will make it into the 10-year best of the Pioneers Challenge and join the "who's who" of the scene.
Where did the journey lead: Where were the pioneers with their projects back then, and where are they today? What impact are they currently making on the 3D printing industry or the manufacturing sector? What are their impulses for driving the future forward? All finalists from previous competition years were invited to submit their latest projects. The jury also considers the history of the original submission and the developementof the company, the individual, or the team behind it. You will soon find out here who will be in attendance in Erfurt with their latest project in May 2025.
