SIMTOS 2026 (Seoul International Manufacturing Technology Show) is Korea's largest trade fair for manufacturing technology, taking place from 13 to 17 April in Halls 1 and 2 of KINTEX in Goyang.

At its upcoming Open House in Pfronten, DMG Mori will showcase more than 40 machines and over 20 automation solutions, highlighting 5-axis machining, scalable automation and integrated production concepts designed to deliver high precision, productivity and flexibility across a wide range of manufacturing applications.

Hurco Europe will put the spotlight on “Smarter CNC for Smarter Shops” at its Mach stand, highlighting intuitive controls and automation designed to speed up high-mix machining without relying on specialist programmers.

Vomat’s modular central filter systems (ZFA) offer ultra-fine cooling lubricant microfiltration for applications ranging from compact setups to large-scale industrial projects. A recent XXL installation in Southern Europe illustrates how the scalable concept combines high filtration quality, energy efficiency, and adaptability to changing production requirements.

Rising demands from high-tech industries are pushing component cleanliness to new limits. Ultra-fine and high-purity cleaning is becoming a decisive factor for competitiveness, requiring manufacturers to rethink processes across the entire production chain and rely on partners with deep application know-how, advanced system technology, and proven test capabilities.

A tough investment climate has not stopped Hurco Europe from increasing sales and expanding market share. Automation uptake, strong interest in used machines and favourable economic conditions are setting the stage for a strong 2026 — including major product premieres at Mach.

At Formnext 2025, DMG Mori highlights its strategy for industrialising metal additive manufacturing. The focus: hybrid DED systems, modular SLM machines with reduced downtime, and digital tools for seamless process integration.

After two successful editions, GrindingHub will return to Stuttgart from 5 to 8 May 2026 as a central meeting point for the international grinding technology industry. With a strong focus on innovation, networking and market-driven solutions, the trade fair invites companies to showcase their latest developments — exhibitor registration is now open.

From hybrid machine tools to AI-driven robotics and automated post-processing, additive manufacturing is entering a new phase of industrial maturity. A look at current technologies shows how AM is becoming a reliable, scalable element of modern production.

At EMO 2025, Anca will present a range of new products and services designed to help cutting tool manufacturers overcome current challenges such as skilled labour shortages, changing market conditions and increasing demands for resource efficiency.
