TCT Shenzhen — South China 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing Exhibition

华南3D打印、增材制造展览会（TCT深圳展）
Shenzhen · Shenzhen World (Bao'an)Annual
Sector pickBoth directionsDates confirmedIndustrial MachineryElectronics & Photonics
International
3 / 5
Schedule: From a Chinese industry schedule — confirm with the organiser before booking
Why it matters

The southern sister of TCT Asia, placed in the Pearl River Delta where most industrial 3D printing capacity is actually consumed. Strong for tooling, prototyping and low-volume production applications.

Who is in the room

Additive manufacturing machine makers, materials and software vendors, aerospace, medical and consumer-electronics prototyping buyers

Good fit for
  • Industrial 3D printer manufacturers
  • Metal and polymer materials suppliers
  • Design and simulation software vendors
Note

Smaller than TCT Asia in Shanghai. Go if your customers are in southern China manufacturing; otherwise the Shanghai edition is the bigger show.

Shenzhen · Shenzhen World (Bao'an)Annual
Sector pickBoth directionsDates confirmedElectronics & PhotonicsIndustrial Machinery
International
4 / 5
Schedule: From a Chinese industry schedule — confirm with the organiser before booking
Why it matters

Reed-run, focused on electronics production equipment — SMT, soldering, inspection, test. Sitting in Shenzhen puts it inside the world's densest electronics manufacturing cluster, so equipment suppliers meet the EMS plants directly.

Who is in the room

EMS providers, PCB assemblers, production engineers, test and inspection buyers

Good fit for
  • SMT, soldering and inspection equipment makers
  • Test and measurement suppliers
  • Production software and traceability vendors
Note

Engineering-led buying, and Chinese equipment has closed much of the capability gap. Lead on throughput data and service response times.

Who is in the room

Machine vision camera, lens and lighting makers, inspection system integrators, electronics and battery production-line buyers

Good fit for
  • Machine vision hardware makers
  • Inspection software and AI vendors
  • System integrators serving electronics factories

Battery cell and pack makers, electrode and materials suppliers, cell manufacturing equipment buyers

Good fit for
  • Battery materials and components suppliers
  • Cell manufacturing equipment makers
  • Testing and safety certification vendors

iTherM — International Thermal Management Industry Conference and Expo · 7th edition

热管理产业大会暨博览会（iTherM）
Shenzhen · Shenzhen World (Bao'an)Annual
Sector pickBoth directionsDates confirmedElectronics & PhotonicsIndustrial Machinery
International
3 / 5
Schedule: From a Chinese industry schedule — confirm with the organiser before booking
Why it matters

Thermal management has become the practical constraint on battery power, EV fast charging and AI data centres, and the supply chain for all three is in southern China. Conference-weighted, so the technical audience is senior.

Who is in the room

Thermal interface material makers, heat sink and liquid cooling suppliers, battery, EV and data centre thermal engineers

Good fit for
  • Thermal interface material suppliers
  • Liquid cooling and heat sink makers
  • Battery and data-centre thermal engineering teams
Note

Conference-led rather than a pure floor show. Value comes from the technical sessions and the engineers they attract.
