Formnext, the leading global show for additive manufacturing, runs November 17 to 20 at Messe Frankfurt.
Every serious 3D printing company is there: printer makers for metal and polymer, materials suppliers, software firms and post-processing specialists. Parts made on the machines, from rocket engine components to medical implants, are on show.
The industry has been through a hard few years of consolidation, and the focus has moved from hype to production. Buyers want reliable machines for real manufacturing in aerospace, defense, medical and energy, and defense demand has become a major driver.
If you’re weighing additive manufacturing for production parts, Formnext is the best place to compare the options under one roof.
