TCT are pleased to be collaborating with Women in 3D Printing for the fifth year to present the TCT Women in 3D Printing Innovator Award 2025. This award recognises women who are at the pinnacle of their profession, leading the charge in developing, enhancing and innovating within the 3D printing and additive manufacturing world.

At the end of 2024 we invited you - the 3D printing and additive manufacturing community - to put forward your nominations for entries for the 2025 award.  Thankyou to everyone who has nominated! 

All nominees have been considered on individual merit by WI3DP and TCT who had the difficult task of whittling them down to a list of finalists.  These finalists will be announced during the TCT WI3DP Innovator Award Day - a unique event brought to you by TCT Awards and TIPE + Women in 3D Printing, dedicated to celebrating the remarkable achievements of women in the 3D printing industry.

TCT WI3DP Innovator Award Day 2025 17th FEBRUARY 2025 at 2PM GMT


This event will feature four inspiring talks from previous TCT WI3DP Innovator Award recipients, each focused on a key TIPE theme of Technology, Industry, People, and Economics. This will be followed by a dynamic panel session revealing the finalists for the 2025 TCT WI3DP Innovator Award and opening the public vote to determine which of these finalists is the deserving winner of this prestigious award.

The session will be broadcast live on the TCT Group YouTube channel and LinkedIn, providing an accessible platform for participants worldwide. The ultimate winner will be announced at the TCT Awards ceremony on the 4th June 2025.  More information can be found in our TCT Magazine article.
