The Sanjay Mortimer RepRap Festival (SMRRF) is an event that invites attendees to celebrate innovation, support neurodivergent talent, and explore the future of 3D printing and STEM. Join engineers, educators, creators, and industry leaders for two days of live demos, family-friendly workshops, and community connection.

A Festival with a Purpose

In 2024, SMRRF raised over £94,000 to support neurodiverse young people in STEM, with 1,000+ attendees from across the UK turning up to celebrate innovation, community, and creativity. 

All proceeds from the SMRRF will go to the Sanjay Mortimer Foundation (SMF). SMF is a charity dedicated to supporting neurodivergent young people in the fields of engineering and STEM. It was founded following the tragic loss of our dear friend, Sanjay Mortimer, co-founder of E3D and a visionary in the world of 3D printing. Sanjay’s achievements were not in spite of his neurodivergence, but because of it, and they continue to inspire others with your support.
