The Formnext Awards 2026 have named their finalists in six categories: AMbassador, Design, (R)Evolution, Rookie, Start-up and Sustainability. The winners will be announced on 19 November at 4:10 pm on the Industry & Application Stage in Hall 11.0 in Frankfurt. The list shows where AM attention sits this year, from patient-specific implants and a one-piece rocket engine to recycled copper powder and carbon accounting.
Fyous, a Sheffield company, is one of three finalists for the Formnext 2026 (R)Evolution Award with GHOST, a machine that forms clear aligners and retainers over a pin-based tool instead of a 3D printed resin model. The machine will be shown publicly for the first time in Frankfurt from 17 to 20 November. It targets the throwaway model that dental labs print for nearly every thermoformed appliance.
Formnext has named the finalists of its 2026 awards across six categories, from a 3D-printed bra and a single-piece rocket engine to copper powder recycling and AM teaching. The public can vote online until 19 November at noon, and the vote counts as an additional jury vote. Winners are announced at the Frankfurt show, which runs 17 to 20 November 2026.
