Get ready for the PRINTED World Conference 2027
Welcome to the family.
PRINTED Hub and the PRINTED World Conference are where the 3D printing community comes home. You share what you've figured out, learn from people who've been there, and find a place where you belong from the moment you pick up your badge.

Why PRINTED feels different
Nobody comes here to sell you a printer. People come to share what they know, to learn what others found out the hard way, and to spend two days with people who get it.
Stories and experience
Making friends
Sitting at the same table
Location
Scheltema Leiden
The PRINTED World Conference 2027 takes place at Scheltema Leiden, a former blanket factory on the canal in the centre of Leiden, near Amsterdam.
- 21 and 22 May 2027
- Marktsteeg 1, 2312 CS Leiden, Netherlands
Learn. Network. Create.
Three words. One feeling.
Our claim hasn't changed. What it means at PRINTED is simple: everyone here is family, so everyone teaches, everyone listens, and everyone gets to show what they made.
Everyone teaches. Everyone learns.
The speaker from this morning sits at your table at lunch. Ask the question you didn't dare ask on stage. Beginners and veterans swap tricks here, and nobody gets looked down on.
- Talks from people who share what worked and what failed
- Hands-on workshops, from first print to product design
- Every talk recorded, so you can relive it at home
Strangers at check-in. Friends at the after-party.
Networking at PRINTED doesn't feel like networking. You end up in a long conversation at the bar, a board game with people you only knew from YouTube, and a group chat that keeps going until next year.
- Community hangout and fun & games area
- Dinners and after-parties at the venue
- Creators, educators and builders on eye level
Bring what you made. Leave with what's next.
Put your project on the community showcase table. You'll get curious questions, honest feedback, three new ideas, and someone who wants to build the next one with you.
- "Show your stuff" community showcase
- Recycling corner and sustainability workshops
- Ideas that started at PRINTED and kept growing
