The supporting program

Multistage concept & more

Advancing Additive Manufacturing together
No other industry presents as much technical progress year after year as industrial 3D Printing. In the fast-moving world of AM, it is not easy to keep up and stay on track. That is why Formnext is committed to providing the best possible support for the exchange and collaboration of manufacturing professionals. A varied supporting program will provide you with the latest technological solutions from exhibitors, showcases and case studies, future prospects and the latest insights from industry experts.

Our stage program - insights and contacts for the future of your production

Formnext’s multistage program is open to all and designed to encourage everyone to share their knowledge of technologies and applications in the world of 3D Printing. In this way, Formnext addresses the main goals of its attendees: expanding their technical expertise, finding inspiration for applications, and making contacts.

Formnext is continuing to sharpen the stage program this year by concentrating even more on the topics that visitors to the fair last year considered to be especially relevant.

Focus on cross-industry innovations, technological trends, and practical applications

On the Application Stage, experts and users will present exciting and forward-looking solutions from a range of industries. From architecture and automation, through medical and dental technology, to the automotive industry, electrical engineering, and tool and die making. The thematic priorities will also be based on this year’s Formnext focus topics: aviation and aerospace, jewelry and watches, and mechanical and plant engineering.

On the Industry Stage, entrepreneurs, experts, and industry representatives will discuss current overarching issues and aspects of the industry, such as sustainability and the industrialization of AM. Relevant topics also include start-ups, investment and financing, standards, and qualifications as well as further training, personnel, and young talent. In addition, the importance of artificial intelligence in Additive Manufacturing – reflected in subjects such as data management and cyber security, Design for AM, AI, and the industrial metaverse – will be one of the main topics on the Industry Stage.

Leading Formnext exhibitors will be bringing their innovations and solutions to the Technology Stage. Every day of the event will showcase the latest breakthroughs in software and digitalization, materials, AM systems, advanced process systems, quality management, measurement technology, and services. Here, visitors will discover innovations and products with which they can implement Additive Manufacturing in their companies. 

You are an exhibitor and would like to present yourself here? Ms. Anabell Condemi will be happy to explain the participation possibilities to you.

Events and showcases

Supplemented by showcases, awards and challenges, seminars, symposia and forums, which are designed and organized in cooperation with our partners such as VDMA, ACAM, BE-AM or ASTM, participants will experience a unique program for knowledge transfer, know-how building and networking.

The detailed program is expected to be published here from autumn 2025. Sign up for our visitor information service and you will be the first to know when the program is online.
