Following the continued success and growing interest in the m3d+it conference, we are pleased to announce the next edition of this established meeting point for 3D technologies in medicine.

The m3d+it 2026 conference will take place on 4–5 December 2026 at the JKU MED Campus in Linz, Austria.

The m3d+it will once again bring together clinicians, researchers, engineers, industry partners and healthcare professionals working at the interface of 3D technologies and medicine. The m3d+it provides a platform to exchange knowledge, share practical experiences and discuss latest developments in cutting-edge areas such as medical 3D printing, surgical planning, patient-specific models, medical devices, bioprinting, hospital-based manufacturing and related innovations.

We invite all stakeholders in this field to save the date and join us in Linz for the m3d+it 2026.
