TCT
The TCT Group has revealed the finalists for this year's TCT Awards, set to be held at the National Conference Center in Birmingham, UK on June 4th.
More than 100 submissions have been whittled down to just under 60 shortlisted projects across 11 awards categories, with winners to be celebrated at a black-tie ceremony this summer.
Global names such as Lockhead Martin, Airbus, NASA, and BMW Group all feature in this year's shortlist, along with established AM technology providers like HP, EOS, Stratasys, Formlabs, Materialise, and Carbon. The 2025 TCT Awards shortlist also features several first-time finalists, including LuxYours, LOOP 3D, additiveStream4D, Graphite AM and many more.
A judging panel of more than 30 additive manufacturing professionals will now come together to decide which 11 finalists will pick up a TCT Award.
