Show technology where questions arise.
Layer Meetup Bayern brings together private users, makers, families, SMEs and professional users. Exhibitors benefit from a direct, approachable setting with visitors who want to understand, compare and apply 3D printing.
The format occupies a largely untapped position in the German event market: a larger, cross-manufacturer public event with a consistent focus on consumer and prosumer 3D printing. For exhibitors, this creates an environment where products, materials, applications and know-how are not advertised abstractly, but experienced, compared and discussed directly.
Who fits the event?
Community, makers & creative projects
For private projects, clubs, makerspaces and creative applications that inspire visitors and make 3D printing understandable.
Regional companies & service providers
For providers showing real solutions: design, prototyping, spare parts, fixtures, small series, scanning, post-processing or custom manufacturing.
Trade, manufacturers & technology providers
For printers, materials, scanners, software, accessories and complementary manufacturing technologies that can be demonstrated and explained on site.
