3D.ru hosts an online event for the entire 3D printing community. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a real event without a prize pool or industry experts as mentors and judges.

What to read

During the event, experienced mentors will share the details about the business side of the industry and more. We’ll discuss the workflow in companies, how startups develop, and where 3D printing is heading. Everything will be based on real examples and cases.
