3D GEM 2025: India’s Premier 3D Engineering & Medical Expo Returns to IISc Bengaluru

Mumbai, 06 October 2025 – The much-anticipated 3D GEM (Engineering & Medical) 2025 returns at the prestigious Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, bringing together industry leaders, government bodies, academic institutions, innovators, and start-ups driving the evolution of 3D technology in India. The 5th edition of 3D GEM will be held on 9–10 October 2025 at the J. N. Tata Auditorium, IISc, Bengaluru, serving as a pan-sector platform for 3D solutions in engineering, industrial manufacturing, aerospace, energy, medical, dental, and research domains.

With the theme “Democratising 3D Technology through Education & Research to Benefit All”, 3D GEM aims to accelerate adoption of 3D solutions across medical, dental, industrial, and research sectors, enabling localised, cost-effective, and scalable innovations for India.

With backing from leading industry associations and government bodies, including the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India, as an Associate Government Partner, 3D GEM promotes indigenous manufacturing, frugal innovation, and make in India initiatives.

Key sponsors and partners include:

• STPL 3D – an indigenous 3D printer manufacturer recognised by MeitY, supporting Make in India initiatives across sectors
• Orthotech India – offering “Head to Toe” customised 3D printing solutions for healthcare
• Hexagon and Autodesk – global leaders in 3D software and simulation

The event will host 18 exhibitors and expects over 568 delegates from hospitals, academia, industry, and start-ups, creating a high-impact knowledge and networking platform.

Event Highlights

• Live Demonstrations & Exhibits: 3D applications across surgery, dental, orthopaedics, prosthetics, aerospace, energy, and industrial prototyping.
• Workshops: Certification, simulation, and lab setup training for institutions, MSMEs, and start-ups.
• Dedicated Tracks: Tailored sessions for medical colleges, hospitals, industrial organisations, educators, and innovators.
• Panel Discussions: Focused on healthcare innovation, engineering,  industrial adoption, additive manufacturing, 3D simulation, and frugal innovation.
• Networking Sessions: Connecting innovators, policymakers, and practitioners to accelerate scalable 3D adoption

“India doesn’t need to catch up to global 3D benchmarks; we can define our own by creating scalable, frugal, and high-impact innovations,” said Dr. Shibu John, Founder & CEO, 3D Graphy LLP and Secretary General, 3DPERA.
