With the growing demand for AM applications that can and are already commercialized, Formnext 2025 will highlight a series of industrial applications across demanding sectors such as mechanical and plant engineering.
The VDMA Additive Manufacturing Working Group will especially present successful use cases from the mechanical engineering sector. These use cases will illustrate how AM technologies are addressing important challenges the industry is facing, such as resource efficiency, functional integration, and new component development.
Given the current economic context of the market, this focus is particularly relevant to demonstrate AM’s value to users who are still hesitant to tap into the technology’s potential.
Call for speakers until July 31
Spread over three stages, the stage program at Formnext 2025 is a special highlight of the event, offering a wide range of perspectives on Additive Manufacturing. There’s still time for interested companies and experts to get involved as the call for speakers for the Application and Industry Stages has been extended until 31 July.
On the Application Stage, visitors will be shown practical applications of AM from various industries. Offering a platform for cross-industry dialogue on industrial solutions, the stage aims to inspire fresh ideas for new applications.
“With the increasing industrialization of Additive Manufacturing, commercially successful applications are growing in number and in relevance,” explains Christoph Stüker, Vice President Formnext at Mesago Messe Frankfurt. “Sharing these use cases is essential to establish AM in other sectors and develop new solutions for specific challenges.”
In addition to business cases and inspiration from different application sectors, the Industry Stage encourages discussion on cross-industry topics such as sustainability, digitalization, artificial intelligence, and many more.
