Formnext is undoubtedly the largest fair dedicated to additive manufacturing: for 5 consecutive years, it has brought together thousands of international players and helps strengthen the position of 3D printing technologies in the industry. This year, it opens its doors on November 19 in Frankfurt until November 22. For the first time since its creation, Formnext is partnering with a country: the USA will be in the spotlight for this 5th edition with several dedicated spaces and conferences. It looks like metal additive manufacturing will also remain in the spotlight this year, with many new machines announced to launch. Find out what you can expect at Formnext 2019 to make sure you don’t miss a thing once you get there!

Last year, Formnext welcomed 632 exhibitors, 27,000 participants, in a 37,000 square metre space, showcasing its leading position. Nevertheless, the 5th edition has grown and the event had to move into two new halls (50,000 square metres in total) to accommodate the 800 exhibitors and thousands of participants expected. 285 new companies will exhibit their additive manufacturing solutions for the first time, from all over the world. 50% of exhibitors are international: after Germany, the most represented countries are China, the United States, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain and the Netherlands. Moreover, the United States is the partner country of the exhibition, a first in the history of Formnext.
