On 25 March, the RepRapUA 3D printing festival will take place in Kyiv

The flexibility and ingenuity of 3D printing enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, manufacturers and suppliers in Ukraine has improved in 2022. Therefore, the second RepRapUA 3D printing festival will take place in Kyiv on 25 March.

Here's What We Know

Developers will share ideas and best practices on how to use 3D printing for business development, science, rapid prototyping, everyday life, education, prosthetics, social and professional adaptation of veterans and temporarily displaced persons.

The festival will bring together professionals and beginners; large companies and small workshops. There will be about 60 participants in total. On site, it will be possible to compare technologies and materials for printing, including innovative and original ones. The festival's show&tell format allows for a lot of communication.

According to the founder of the festival, Yuriy Vlasiuk, over the past 5 years, 3D printing technologies have become a common part of prototyping and production, and continue to open up new opportunities for high-tech and traditional industries. Now is the right time to share what is happening in the Ukrainian community. Since the first RepRapUA festival in 2019, there have been many more players, new technologies and materials, as well as new challenges as a large-scale invasion, so it is very important that the festival takes place now.
