EMO Hannover 2025 will showcase how automation, digitalisation, and sustainability are shaping the future of metalworking. From collaborative robots to AI-driven process chains, the trade fair offers decision-makers valuable insights and solutions for modernising production and meeting new industrial challenges.

Arburg Additive is set to showcase groundbreaking 3D printing technologies at the 20th anniversary of Rapidtech in Erfurt from May 14-16, 2024, highlighting its presence with two innovative exhibits: the advanced 750-3X Freeformer for plastic granules and the Liq 5 for liquid silicone rubber (LSR) printing.

CNC machining is gaining importance in rapid prototyping by enabling precise, fast, and material-accurate component production — helping to shorten development cycles across various industries.

Fotec Research and Technology Transfer at the University of Applied Sciences Wiener Neustadt has succeeded in making the reworking of additively manufactured components more economical with the help of a process known as ‘Hirtising’.

The global market for rapid prototyping materials is set to skyrocket — from 586.7 million Dollars in 2023 to over 3 billion Dollars by 2033—driven by booming demand in aerospace, automotive, and healthcare industries.

From 6 to 9 May 2025, Stuttgart will host Moulding Expo, the international trade fair for tool, mould and model making. In Hall 6, Stand D74, Speedpart will present innovative manufacturing solutions that combine toolmaking with state-of-the-art 3D printing technology.

With the Ultimaker S6, Ultimaker says it offers a model that combines high speeds, intuitive ease of use and flexibility at an attractive price.

Replique, a platform for on-demand industrial part production, has been nominated for the German Founder Award 2025. With strong industry backing and rapid growth, the startup is reshaping procurement through digital, decentralized manufacturing.

Penn State researchers are making metal 3D-printed parts sing — literally. Backed by a 1 million dollar Darpa grant, their groundbreaking acoustic technique could revolutionize defect detection during printing, speeding up production for critical defense applications.

After drawing strong international interest in 2024, the Formnext Awards return this year with six categories honoring innovation, sustainability, design, and emerging talent in Additive Manufacturing. A refreshed jury and public voting will once again spotlight outstanding achievements in the AM community.
