3D Systems launches a new system of 3D printers and materials.

With the TUM-Oerlikon Advanced Manufacturing Institute, the partners want to advance additive manufacturing technologies.

Formlabs expands its own SLA 3D printer fleet with the Form 3+ and Form 3B+ models and also launches its first own ESD resin.

Robot-based 3D printing on metallic base bodies: scientists at TU Braunschweig are researching the individual production of plastic-metal components. A newly developed process for surface structuring ensures a strong bond between metal and plastic.

Almost 18,000 visitors came to the trade fair for additive manufacturing under the Frankfurt Trade Fair Tower.


Stratasys is using Formnext to showcase a wide range of new technologies, printers, materials and software.

Formnext is coming up in Frankfurt am Main from November 16 to 19. Sascha Wenzler, Vice President Formnext, spoke to Daniel Schilling about innovations from the exhibiting companies.

In order to be able to react quickly to changing production lines, additive manufacturing has long been an integral part of the production of automotive parts due to its flexibility. Around 80 percent of products can already be printed using selective laser sintering (SLS).

The advancement of 3D printing in aerospace is driving efficiency in the value chain and solving problems in production. Scott Sevcik, VP Aerospace at Stratasys, describes why this technology is so popular with major OEMs and numerous suppliers.

At Formnext, Arburg will be showcasing a wide range of high-end machines, innovative applications and exciting component examples.

After being forced to go virtual in 2020, Formnext will be back under the trade fair tower from November 16 to 19, 2021 as a real meeting place for all those interested in additive manufacturing. The exhibition will be complemented by an extensive program of events.
A new generation of particle accelerators is set to take cancer therapy, drug detection and material analysis to a higher level.

Around 80 percent of car parts can already be printed using selective laser sintering (SLS).

How are digitalization and additive manufacturing mutually dependent? What technical advances can be expected in the coming months? Daniel Schilling spoke about this with Marcus Joppe, Managing Director at Materialise.
