Festival Program
September 19, 2026, 11:00 — 17:00, online. The world opens at 11:00 — booths, conversations, the booth quest. Talks in the lecture hall start at 12:00: each talk is 20–25 minutes plus questions from the audience, in 30-minute slots with no breaks. All times are Kyiv time (UTC+3). The schedule is preliminary and may be adjusted on the day.

About the talks
A 3D print farm from the inside: pains, failures, and lessons that cost money
What running a commercial 3D printer farm is really like, no success theater: mistakes that cost time and money, and takeaways that will save you both.
3D Metal Tech
Metal that heals: 3D metal printing for medicine
From model to part: how metal 3D printing for medical applications is done in Ukraine, and what it takes.
3D Metal Tech
Starting a filament manufacturing business in wartime
MechLab3D
From a printer to a production line
How a team from Dnipro grew from a few printers into a production floor with six clusters, operators, and quality control — and which parts of that experience are useful for anyone printing on demand.
AMG 3D — on-demand FDM manufacturing, Dnipro
3D printing and UAVs
A look from inside the drone industry: which printed parts actually survive into series production, where 3D printing loses to molding and machining, and what the nice videos do not show. Ihor spoke at RepRapUA #2 in 2023 about printing aircraft in lightweight plastic.
Ihor Panas — engineer, Airlogix
Large format from recycled plastic: progress so far, and who we are looking for
Large-format 3D printing with recycled plastic: what the Ostriv platform has achieved, where the technology gets stuck, and what is missing to move the subject forward. The talk is also an invitation: right after it we gather a group of people who find the topic interesting and bring the relevant expertise.
Roman Sakh — Ostriv science and art platform
Pricing in 3D printing
What a printed part really costs: what goes into the price, which expenses usually go uncounted, and how to avoid losing money on an order. Ivan gave this talk at RepRapUA Fest #3 in 2024 and is bringing it back.
Ivan Luhynets — founder of the Volume 3D private workshop
Farm management software overview
Software and services for managing a 3D printer farm: what is on the market, what it does, and how to choose for your scale.
