Austin Hardtech Open House at re:3D
Hardtech demos, robotics, and a builder happy hour
Austin has become one of the most exciting places in the world to build hardtech. This open house is a chance to see it up close.
If you’re building real technology, not just talking about it, you’ll probably find your people here.
Each March, thousands of visitors come to Austin to talk about the future of technology. Events focused on physical technology and real-world systems are still surprisingly rare.
Austin Hardtech is working to change that.
We are building a community that connects founders, engineers, investors, and manufacturers working on technologies. This open house is one way we bring those people together.
For this event, Austin Hardtech is teaming up with re:3D to host a casual gathering where builders can explore the space, see hardware in action, and meet others working on ambitious technologies.
Event Schedule
2:00 – 5:00 PM
Open House at re:3D
Drop in anytime during the afternoon to explore the re:3D facility.
Throughout the space, you will find:
• hardware demos from local companies
• robotics and experimental prototypes
• large-format 3D printing in action
• informal tours of the facility
The re:3D team will also be demonstrating their Gigabot large-format 3D printers and sharing how they are advancing distributed manufacturing using recycled materials.
This portion of the event is intentionally casual and exploratory. Walk around, meet builders, and see what people are working on.
5:00 – 7:00 PM
Hardtech Happy Hour
As the open house wraps up, we will transition into a relaxed happy hour.
Grab a drink, meet other builders, and continue the conversations.
Pizza, drinks, and good company provided.
Who Should Attend
This event is designed for people building or supporting physical technology companies, including:
• hardware founders
• robotics engineers
• climate and energy innovators
• defense and aerospace builders
• manufacturing leaders
• deeptech and hardtech investors
• product and systems engineers
If you enjoy seeing real technology being built, you will enjoy this event.
About Austin Hardtech
Austin Hardtech is a community focused on making Austin one of the best places in the world to start and scale hardtech and deeptech companies.
We bring together founders, engineers, manufacturers, investors, and operators who believe the future will be built not just in software, but in atoms as well as bits.
Through events, introductions, and partnerships, we aim to strengthen the ecosystem needed to turn breakthrough ideas into real products and companies.
