ADDIMAT Invites the World to Discover the Spanish Ecosystem at Formnext 2025

The development of the additive industry is often a source of confusion, conflicting forecasts, and the recurring question: are we facing the end of its exponential growth or the beginning of a new stage of industrial consolidation? Every year, there is an event that helps us better understand the global industry and gives us clues to answer these questions: Formnext. In the upcoming edition, Spain, with the participation of the Spanish Additive Manufacturing Association (ADDIMAT), will take on a central role as guest country, showcasing its contributions to European advances in additive technologies, as well as its global influence.

Spanish additive manufacturing is at a decisive moment. In recent years, the national sector has positioned itself as one of the most dynamic hubs in Europe. At the heart of this evolution is ADDIMAT, which for more than ten years has been dedicated to promoting the industrial adoption of 3D processes, connecting all actors on the supply and demand side, and projecting Spanish excellence on the international stage. Formnext 2025 could not go unnoticed, and the association has prepared an interesting program to introduce Spanish 3D companies to visitors from all over the world.

ADDIMAT and ICEX are preparing the Spanish Pavilion at Formnext, where visitors will be able to meet key Spanish companies in the additive manufacturing industry.

Why Look to Spain at Formnext 2025?

In the halls of Formnext, every company and every country tells its own story. Ours is that of an industry that has grown thanks to a strategy of national cooperation, and its example is one of the reasons why many will want to visit its stands at Formnext this year. Since its creation in 2015, ADDIMAT has achieved something rare: building a cohesive national ecosystem that spans the entire value chain, from machinery and materials manufacturers to service providers and end users. “Our project accelerates the adoption of additive manufacturing in Spain, connecting innovation with industrial use,” explains Naiara Zubizarreta, director of the association and finalist in the AMbassador Award category at the Formnext 2025 awards.
