By shining a spotlight on faster and more sustainable AM production, pioneering applications from such diverse fields as medicine, mould making, and the oil and gas industry, and new approaches in AM training and education, the Formnext Awards 2025 will once again recognize young innovative companies, sustainable business ideas, and revolutionary technologies across six different categories. The shortlisted finalists will now present their entries online in the run-up to the trade fair and in person at a special showcase at Formnext. The winners will be announced at the award ceremony on 20 November 2025. Voting for the public is already open.

The finalists in the six award categories are shaping the future of Additive Manufacturing. In addition to dealing with current challenges, such as increased sustainability and more efficient production, the innovations also include specific applications and specialized manufacturing solutions for robotics or the dental sector, for example. The finalists were selected based on the level of innovation shown, the technological maturity of their entries, and their professional business concepts.

Visitors to Formnext will have an opportunity to see all the finalists at the Formnext Awards special showcase (Hall 11.0, Booth D82). The winners will be announced at the award ceremony on Thursday 20 November from 4:20 p.m. on the Industry Stage (Hall 11.0, D72). You can also check out the finalists now on the Formnext website. Voting is open in all categories until noon on Thursday, 20 November. The public vote will count as one additional juror vote.
