Dear Colleague:
We would like to invite you to the tenth International Congress on 3D Printing(Additive Manufacturing) Technologies and Digital Industry (3D-PTC2026) which will take place from 03 to 04 September 2026 in Trabzon, TÜRKİYE.
The aim of the congress is to bring together universities, industrial organizations, and public institutions from different countries, and to discuss theoretical and practical issues in the fields of 3D printing(Additive Manufacturing) technologies and digital industry. Your prospective, valuable contributions on this field will be evaluated by the scientific committee and selection papers will appear in the book “Digitalization in Additive Manufacturing": Part of the book series: Springer Tracts in Additive Manufacturing (STAM)
3D Printing(Additive Manufacturing) Technologies and Digital Industry encourages multidisciplinary engineering, medical, dental and practioners. Academics and professionals to identify the challenges and discuss solutions for 3D printing technologies and digital industry welcome scientific and practical contributions from different disciplines and fields.
We are very pleased to invite you to the tenth International Congress on 3D Printing(Additive Manufacturing) Technologies and Digital Industry (3D-PTC2026) Congress.
Wish to see you all.
The congress meets the new associate professorship criteria for participants in Turkey.

Prof. Dr. Erkan KAPLANOĞLU
He is completed his undergraduate studies at Marmara University in 1996. Kaplanoğlu continued his master’s and doctoral studies at the same university, earning his Ph.D. in Computer Control in 2006. In 2010, he was honored with the YGGDRASIL Award (Young Guest Doctoral Researchers in Norway), presented by the Norwegian government. After his doctoral studies, he began his research in biomechatronics at Vanderbilt University (Nashville, TN, USA). In 2013, under the Department of Mechatronics Engineering at Marmara University, he established the Biomechatronics Systems Laboratory, where YSL and Ph.D. studies are conducted as part of projects funded by TÜBİTAK and the European Union. He serves as a consultant on national and international projects in the field of robotic rehabilitation. Since 2019, he has been working as a faculty member at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. There, under the umbrella of the Biomechatronics and Assistive Technology Lab (BioAstLab), which he founded, he leads various projects in collaboration with stakeholders in the healthcare sector. Kaplanoğlu’s research areas include EMG/EEG-controlled prosthetics, active orthoses, robotic rehabilitation, and smart automation systems. In addition to his publications in these fields, he holds patents for the “Hybrid Prosthetic Hand” and the “Lower Back Pain Therapy System,” and has authored a book on “Biomechatronics.” Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
