Additive Manufacturing Conference & Expo 2026
Formnext Frankfurt is the premier international expo for additive manufacturing, running 17‑20 November 2026. The four‑day event gathers the full AM value chain, showcasing industrial 3D‑printing systems (metal, polymer, composite and hybrid machines), advanced materials (metal powders, high‑performance polymers, bio‑based and sustainable feedstocks), software and process‑monitoring solutions, and end‑to‑end production services. Key exhibit categories include metal AM (laser powder bed fusion, DED), polymer extrusion and vat photopolymerisation, continuous‑fiber reinforcement, large‑format and construction‑scale printers, and post‑processing technologies such as surface finishing and inspection. Supporting programs feature seminars, workshops, awards, and networking events covering sustainability, digital twins, and industry‑specific applications (aerospace, automotive, medical, defense). The platform also offers year‑round resources: an AM directory, job portal, industry insights, whitepapers, and webinars, making it a continuous hub for professionals seeking the latest innovations and partnerships in additive manufacturing.
