World Premieres at Formnext 2018

The Formnext 2018 exhibition set another record in terms of exhibitor numbers, with a total of 632 exhibitors from 32 countries. Visitors discovered solutions and ideas along the entire process chain that they could use to make their production more efficient. Formnext also displayed how additive manufacturing and Industry 4.0 are merging to generate automated production processes. Also, companies such as 3D Systems, Arburg, BigRep, EOS, HP, Multec, OR Laser, Stratasys, Trumpf and Voxeljet presented world premieres along the process chain.

The business deals and machine sales at the exhibition drive the evolution of the industry. The event also provides up-and-coming companies with an opportunity to meet investment and business partners. With its program of supporting events, Formnext is the place to be for newcomers. For example, during the international “TCT conference @ Formnext”, around 850 experts in additive manufacturing exchanged their experiences and knowledge.

The variety offered at Formnext attracts specialists and managers from numerous companies. These included representatives from OEMs and suppliers in the sectors of aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, medicine technology, dental industry, mechanical engineering, and building and architectural.
