The UK's Leading RepRap Festival
Sat 7th Dec: 10am - 5:15pm
Sun 8th Dec: 10am - 4pm
We are over the moon to once again bring you SMRRF. In our second year, we promise to make this 3D Printing Festival bigger, better and more inclusive. This year, the event will be hosted in the modern, accessible Manchester Metropolitan University Business School in partnership with Manchester Met's PrintCity.
​
Last year saw over 1000 attendees, 40 exhibitors and raised ~£50k to support neurodiverse engineers. This year we invite you to celebrate the innovative and community-driven spirit of the 3D printing world and have the chance to see the latest releases from the industry's biggest names, meet highly sought after Content Creators or just grab a display booth and come and show off your prints.
​
There's something for everyone so check below to find out about becoming a Sponsor or grab your admission tickets quick!
