Introduction: At the beginning of March 2025, Formnext Francfurt International Precision Forming and 3D Printing Manufacturing Exhibition (called “Formnext Germany Exhibition”) signed up for the exhibition, establishing a record. Among them, the number of exhibitors and stands in China shows an unprecedented growth trend. The order has only been open for two months, and the number of Chinese exhibitors has exceeded 100. It is scheduled until early April, it will exceed the total number of Chinese exhibitors last year.
“These data fully prove that even in the current difficult environment, Formnext is still one of the most important communication platforms in the world industry for additive manufacturing.” SASCHA F. WENZLER, Vice-president of the FORMNEXT project to the organizer of the organizer, the organizer, Frankfurt Exhibition Co., Ltd. “The diversified composition of new and old exhibitors fully demonstrates that additive manufacturing technology creates enormous commercial value for the entire industrial chain,” added Petra Haarburger, CEO of the company.
By looking back on the 2024 Formnext exhibition in Germany, he not only attracted the best companies in the global field of additive manufacturing to participate, in particular: 3D systems, additive additive, alphacam, arburg, mori, blt, colibrium additive, requestssen Macheery Höganäs, HP, Kraussmaffi, Lindrialize, Meltio, Nikon SLM Solutions, Oerlikon, Polymaker, Prusa, Renishaw, Ricoh, Sandvik, Siemens, Sisma, SMS International Leading Companies such as Group, Stratasys, Trumpf, Voxeljet and Xjet have attracted many well -known companies. These companies are aware of the two -digit growth potential in the additive manufacturing market and have launched innovative products specially developed for 3D printing, promoting the rapid development of industry to industrialization and scale.
The degree of internationalization continues to increase
It is understood that the proportion of international exhibitors at the exhibition last year reached 65%. Among them, The Chinese Exhibitors have a string lineup, included Berlit, Huashu hi-tech, Hanbang Laser, Yijia 3D, Youyan Additive, Xihe Additive, Avic Masit, Ruitong Laser, Liantai Technology, Zhongrui Technology, Jinshi 3D, Beifeng Intelligence, Yizhi Technology, Willari, Zhongti New Materials, Jinwu New Materials, Tuozhu, Chuangxiang 3D, Flash Casting Technology, Longwei Cube, Kexcelled, Zhongke 3D Esun, Sanlu Sunlu, Wanhua Chemistry, Optics of the site
Well -known brands have joined. Exhibitions include equipment, materials, accessories, service providers, etc., demonstrating the exhaustiveness and integrity of the additive manufacturing industry of China. It should be mentioned that most of these companies have also participated in the Formnext Asia Shenzhen exhibition held in Shenzhen from August 26 to 28, showing the latest achievements of the additive manufacturing of China to the world public.
In addition to the three main exhibition groups in China, Germany and the United States, exhibition groups in Spain, Italy, France and the United Kingdom in this year’s guest countries have also performed well.

In addition to certain countries in Western Europe and China, there are exhibitors from the United States, South Korea, Romania and Türkiye. The new exhibitors cover all aspects of the treatment chain. For example, the German companies Oscar PLT, layer performance, trading of Thyssenkrupp materials and surface engineering REM provide innovative solutions in the fields of AM systems, software, software, materials and surface processing; Schunk Ingenieurkeramik specializes in ceramic manufacturing; While dental applications in the oral lab counters in Romania and 3D printed ships of me composites in Italy have components of different sizes … These new faces covering the entire industry chain confirm that additive manufacturing technology continues to explore application scenarios and commercial possibilities.
The new exhibitors of China include Dajia Juwei, Maker Factory, non -white three -dimensional companies and other new companies joining the Frankfurt Arena and abroad. It fully demonstrates innovative vitality and development potential of the additive manufacturing industry of China.
“This trend of diversification shows that the world of additive manufacturing constantly nourishes new opportunities,” said Christoph Stüker, vice-president of the Formnext project at Mesga Frankfurt Exhibition Co., Ltd., Germany. “And Formnext is the ideal platform for companies to explore these possibilities.”
From November 18 to 21, 2025, Francfurt will become the central scene of world additive manufacturing and modern industrial technology. At the same time, from August 26 to 28, 2025, Formnext Asia Shenzhen took the lead in the future manufacturing of 3D printing, focusing on the Asian additive ecosystem and covering the whole chain of the 3D printing industry.
From Frankfurt to Shenzhen, the two main exhibitions, Formnext and Formnext Asia Shenzhen, build an ecological chain of the additive manufacturing industry with a global perspective. The Frankfurt exhibition continues to direct the global innovation of industrial technologies, while the Shenzhen exhibition is deeply rooted in the Asian market and promotes the coordinated development of the entire 3D printing industry chain. The two places work together to form a “double engine” for the intersection of East and West technologies, demonstrating the unlimited vitality of innovation in the field of additive manufacturing and the deep link between future manufacturing.
