In 2025, Formnext will once again be the stage for modern, intelligent manufacturing processes, showcasing the latest developments in industrial 3D printing through an exciting stage program and a variety of events.
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.

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.
Program under construction
The call for speakers has ended and we thank everyone who submitted their talk.
We are now evaluating all submissions and will create a program full of inspirational speakers, first-hand user stories as well as expert insights on how to adopt AM in order to create value for your production and customers.
The detailed program will be available here from mid-September.

Formnext Awards
At the last Formnext, the new awards competition and the winners of the six categories attracted considerable international attention.
In 2025, Formnext will write the next chapter in this success story by once again presenting the Formnext Awards in six different categories, honoring, among other things, aspiring young companies, future-oriented sustainable business models, and cutting-edge technologies.
Some newly appointed jury members will also bring fresh ideas to the table. And the AM community itself will vote for the winners alongside the jury. On site at Formnext or via online voting from September.
Applications are now open.
