Formnext Connect: what products are launching at the event?

Formnext is undoubtedly the largest additive manufacturing event, bringing together players and users from all over the world every year to exchange and share the latest market innovations. The current context has obviously forced the organisers of the show to reinvent themselves and to imagine a virtual alternative: as of this morning, Formnext Connect has opened its doors, or rather its digital platform. Until 12 November, you can connect for free to attend conferences, discuss with various companies present and visit the virtual stands of 203 exhibitors: machine manufacturers, materials, printing services, software, resellers, the entire value chain will be represented. They will also be presenting their latest innovations and products. But what is there to see at Formnext Connect? We’ve selected a few announcements you won’t want to miss!

New product launches at Formnext Connect

Trade shows are always a good opportunity to present new products, whether it be 3D printers, materials, software or post-processing solutions. Even if this year’s edition is virtual, some exhibitors are no exception to the rule.

New 3D printers

The Dutch manufacturer Ultimaker is launching a new machine, the Ultimaker 2+ Connect, very much inspired by its big sister but integrating Wifi or Ethernet connectivity, a touch screen and a stiffer build plate with a wide range of already saved print profiles. If we stay with the FDM machines, the manufacturer Smart3D is also taking advantage of Formnext Connect to present the Macro HT, a high temperature industrial 3D printer capable of designing parts with ULTEM, PEEK or PEKK. Its extrusion temperature can reach 500°C and the printing chamber 200°C.
