International Conference on 3D Technologies in Hospitals 27-28 November 2026

IC3DTH 2026

Announcing the Second Edition of the International Conference on 3D Technologies in Hospitals

Following the success on the first edition held in Vienna, Austria in 2025, we are proud to announce the launch of the new edition of IC3DTH 2026.

The second edition of IC3DTH will take place in Bristol, United Kingdom, on the 27-28 November 2026, marking a recurrent annual event dedicated exclusively to the advancement of 3D printing and related technologies in healthcare wolrdwide.

Our goal is to create a unique meeting point for professionals, researchers, clinicians, and industry leaders working at the intersection of 3D technologies and medicine. IC3DTH will offer a platform to exchange knowledge, share experiences, and discuss the latest developments in the use of 3D printing within hospitals and clinical settings. From patient-specific models and surgical planning to custom medical devices, bioprinting, and regulatory challenges, the conference will provide a comprehensive view of the impact of these technologies on healthcare.

Programme

The conference will run all day Friday 27 November and the morning of Saturday 28 November at the University of Bristol and the programme will include: 

  • Keynote talks from experts
  • Talks on point-of-care
  • Research talks including bioprinting
  • A patients’ panel
  • Abstract flash presentations
  • Industry talks

There will be plenty of opportunities for networking. 

A draft programme will be published here soon.
