This September, the Pennsylvania Convention Center will trade flat thinking for a full third dimension as 3DPrintopia® fills Hall F with machines, materials, makers and creations that have to be seen to be believed. The community-and-industry celebration lands in Philadelphia September 26–27, 2026, with two energetic days built for everyone from seasoned print pros to families asking, “Wait, people can actually make that?”

Attendees can meet leading 3D printing companies and creators, explore inspiring maker exhibits, learn from educators and enthusiasts, and watch imagination turn into real objects layer by layer. The event combines useful learning with the kind of spectacle that makes phones come out and conversations start.

More Than a Show Floor, It’s a Playground for Ideas
• Race the future at the 3D Printed Derby and electric Top Fuel Dragster competitions, where design, engineering and speed meet.
• Cheer on creative chaos with Death Racers and other crowd-friendly competitions.
• Trade tiny treasures during MakerChip Mania, a colorful community swap with prizes for ambitious collectors.
• Meet the people behind the prints including makers, content creators, educators and brands helping shape the technology.
• Bring the next generation because guests 17 and under receive free admission, making this an easy family weekend adventure.

“3DPrintopia is where the online 3DPrinting world comes to life,” said Chris Pelesky, president and co-founder of 3DPrintopia. “You can meet the people you follow, see machines and materials up close, discover something completely unexpected, and leave wanting to make something you never knew you could make. Whether you own ten printers or have never touched one, there is a place for you here, and we promise the weekend will be anything but two-dimensional.”

With sponsors including Cocoa Press, Print Kits, Cookiecad, Prusa Research and Magigoo, and exhibitors spanning printers, filament, tools, software and creative applications, 3DPrintopia offers a rare chance to experience a broad cross-section of the 3D printing community in one place.
