Despite the rather subdued economic situation in Germany and global political challenges, Mesago, the organizer of Formnext reports around 574 companies from 35 different countries have already registered for its Additive Manufacturing show.
“The fantastic registration figures for Formnext reflect the relevance of Additive Manufacturing for the whole of the industrial sector,” said Sascha F. Wenzler, Vice President for Formnext at event organizer Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH. “AM is a technology that makes it possible to meet current challenges and harness new economic potential. At the same time, Formnext also reflects the continued strong growth of the global AM industry, which paves the way for the industrial future with numerous innovations and applications every year.”
Alongside Germany, the major exhibitor nations include the USA, China, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Italy, and Spain.
Wenzler attributes the fact that Formnext is able to continue its impressive success story even in these rather complex times to the excellent business opportunities offered by the world of Additive Manufacturing and Formnext – not only for manufacturers of 3D Printing systems, but also for companies along the entire process chain. “We are also seeing more and more companies from traditional industrial sectors discovering the 3D Printing industry as an exciting sales market and wanting to benefit from the annual growth rates, which tend to be in double digits.”
This development is highlighted by the high number of new exhibitors, including large, renowned companies such as Bechtle AG, PLC, and Schaeffler Special Machinery.
The majority of the new exhibitors, from a total of 25 countries, are based in traditional sectors and offer industrial and software solutions as well as measurement technology, automation, and engineering solutions. However, specialized AM products such as innovative 3D printers and materials will also be represented. It is clear that Formnext 2024 already promises many new solutions and applications for a wide range of industries and will once again turn Frankfurt into the global center of Additive Manufacturing and innovative solutions for the future of industrial production from 19 – 22 November 2024.
