Indicate Technologies Presents
3D Print Scan Measure Expo 2026
The manufacturing technology brands shaping what's possible, and the experts who build them, in the same room as the people who use them.
Thursday, October 15, 2026 · 2065 Martin Avenue, Santa Clara, CA · 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Is your current supplier doing everything you need to achieve success?
Technology in printing, scanning, and measurement has moved quickly. Capabilities that required outside services three years ago now sit on a benchtop. Materials that didn't exist are in production. Measurement approaches that were lab-only have moved to the floor.
This is a day to see where things stand. Equipment from a dozen brands running in one building, the applications engineers who know it best, and a full program of sessions built to teach.
How the Day Works
Parallel sessions, all day.
Four tracks running simultaneously from morning through afternoon. Attend one track end to end, or move between them. Each session runs about an hour.
Equipment stations on the floor.
Between sessions, the floor is open. Every brand brings equipment and staffs it with someone who can demonstrate it, answer technical questions, and talk through your specific application.
Bring your parts.
If you have a part that's difficult to measure, difficult to scan, or difficult to produce, bring it. This is the one day of the year when you can put it in front of a dozen different technologies and a dozen different experts in a single afternoon.
Closing happy hour.
The day ends with drinks and conversation. Some of the most useful conversations happen after the sessions end.
Four Tracks, One Day
Additive
Production and prototyping across polymer, resin, and metal. Large format, multi-material, and high-performance applications.
Quality
Measurement, inspection, and quality workflows. Multisensor systems, CT, coordinate measurement, and surface characterization.
Process
Post-processing, surface finishing, and the steps between production and a finished part.
Design
Reverse engineering, scan-to-CAD, and design for manufacturing across additive and traditional processes.
*This year's session lineup is being finalized now and will be announced in the coming weeks.
