Exhibition review Formnext 2023

Concrete draws a crowd

16 February 2024

Construction is currently one of the biggest growth areas in Additive Manufacturing. This was also evident at Formnext 2023, where, in addition to the established BE-AM special show in Hall 11.0, Formnext presented a new special show for the construction industry in cooperation with Constructions3D

The area, which proved to be a real attraction throughout the trade fair, featured live production of concrete elements used in house construction. And the French company was not the only exhibitor to exhibit solutions for the construction industry.

Visitors also had the chance to marvel at numerous innovative solutions for current and future construction challenges at the aforementioned BE-AM showcase. Jörg Petri, founder and director of NewDigitalCraft, presented 3D printed models that are used in the renovation of old buildings, for example. These can be used to create concrete elements that look just like materials from a bygone era, making them a comparatively inexpensive alternative to sandstone elements.
