With two all-electric production cells Negri Bossi will demonstrate how injection moulding, automation and process control can be combined for food and medical applications. The Fakuma exhibits focus on liquid silicone processing, cleanroom suitability and integrated manufacturing concepts.

Grindinghub 2026 in Stuttgart showed the direction of future grinding technology: connected, automated, and data-driven. Instead of individual machines, the focus shifted to integrated process chains — supplemented by data-driven quality assurance and solutions for the more efficient use of tools, coolants, and peripheral equipment.

Under the motto “Never Stop Manufacturing the Future,” DMG Mori will demonstrate how it wants to support its customers with productive manufacturing solutions and long-term collaboration. On its 2,100 square metre stand in Hall 10, visitors will experience 20 largely automated machines in action.

Hydraulic forming is a technology that uses high fluid pressure to shape sheet metal or tubes into the desired geometry. Instead of a second rigid tool, a fluid acts as the force-transmitting medium. Researchers in Chemnitz have now succeeded in significantly reducing production times in high-pressure sheet metal forming (HPSF) through intelligent process integration.

From 0.7 mm O-rings to precision hearing aid components, Starlim specialises in producing silicone micro parts at industrial scale. Its dedicated micro moulding department combines Wittmann Micropower machines, in-house mould making and cleanroom production.

From electrode production to sinker and wire EDM, Meusburger supports mould and die makers with a comprehensive, immediately available portfolio for the highest precision requirements. High-quality materials, precisely matched clamping and holder systems, and an intuitive configurator ensure reliable processes, excellent surface quality and maximum efficiency throughout every EDM application.

A strategic acquisition is set to strengthen the global injection moulding market as Arburg expands into large-tonnage and thin-wall packaging machines through the purchase of Dutch manufacturer Stork IMM. The deal broadens Arburg's product portfolio while giving Stork access to an international sales and service network.

Lamiera returns to Fieramilano Rho from 11 to 14 May 2027 for its 24th edition, with early exhibitor sign-ups already signalling strong industry demand. The show will bring together more than 500 working machines across six technology themes — from automation and welding to metrology and heat treatment — alongside a new Futuretech Award spotlighting the sector’s most innovative solutions.

Horn used Mach 2026 to spotlight a broad wave of tooling developments aimed at more reliable chip control, greater rigidity and lower cost per edge. From sintered chip-breaker geometries in miniature inserts to new grooving and parting-off systems for deeper cuts, the latest additions show how tool design is being refined for process stability, surface quality and economic machining.

At Interplas 2026, Arburg will spotlight its new electric Allrounder Trend machines for the first time in the UK, combining cost-efficient injection moulding with practical advances in automation, digitalisation and sustainability.
