Formnext 2026: program of all stages and my fair plan

Ten stands worth a visit

Not the big names. Ten young teams trying something that may not work yet, chosen out of curiosity: new processes, new materials and new ways to check a build. Several of them pitch on 17 November from 15:45 on the Industry & Application Stage.

1. Fyous (Hall 11.0, F22): A thermoforming tool made of thousands of pins that takes the shape of each patient's teeth, so dental labs make aligners without printing a model. Global reveal at the fair.
2. 3Deus Dynamics (Hall 12.1, A72): Prints inside a bed of granules instead of in air, a cross between 3D printing and moulding that takes injection grade silicones and polymers as they are, without supports. Founded in 2020.
3. Aumatis (Hall 12.1, D71): A desktop machine that turns a printed plastic model into a metal part overnight by automated investment casting, on a normal power socket, without lasers or powder.
4. sallea (Hall 11.0, D62G): Printed cores that dissolve in water after moulding, for hollow carbon fibre parts with shapes no mould can release. Started in motorsport, now aimed at injection moulding too.
5. Hydra Manufacturing (Hall 11.0, D62E): One machine that extrudes ceramic paste, machines the part before sintering and inspects it as it grows, to open silicon carbide and hardmetals to printing.
6. Reinforce3D (Hall 12.0, A121): Adds strength after printing: continuous carbon fibre and resin are injected into channels of the finished part. A new development is promised for the fair.
7. AM 4 AM (Hall 12.0, A42): A Luxembourg start-up that coats metal powder with ceramic particles by cold plasma to make alloys printable that were not, starting with a high strength aluminium.
8. QH Build (Hall 11.0, D62B): Makes the mistakes in simulation: a digital twin of the robot and its controller tunes a metal deposition job before any material is melted. Award finalist.
9. Euler (Hall 11.0, A32): Software from Iceland that predicts a failing metal build from the layer images the printer already records, early enough to stop it.
10. AMAZEMET (Hall 12.0, D42): Bench scale ultrasonic atomisers that let a lab make its own alloy powder in small batches, and a new atomisation system to be unveiled at the fair.
