Formnext 2026 guide: five exhibitors, stand numbers and questions to bring

Published 1 sourceSummary written with AIDeutsche Version

3D Printing Industry has published a visitor guide to five exhibitors at Formnext 2026, held at Messe Frankfurt from 17 to 20 November. It covers filament recycling, quality data software, compact polymer finishing, a new EOS polymer platform and large-format Raise3D systems, with a set of questions per stand for judging cost and integration before a purchase.

Key facts
  • Formnext 2026 runs 17 to 20 November at Messe Frankfurt
  • DyeMansion Powershot Go is priced below EUR 14,000, available from the show
  • EOS unveils its polymer production platform on 17 November at 11 a.m
  • 3devo reports over 2,000 kg of PA12 waste powder processed in-house so far

Context Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) is HP's polymer powder bed process, and PA12 is a nylon widely used in it and in selective laser sintering.

Which exhibitors does the guide feature and where are they?

Four of the five stands are in Hall 12.1: 3devo (B139), amsight (E81), DyeMansion (C32) and Raise3D (D21). EOS is in Hall 12.0 at D71. The guide groups them by technology and planned demonstration, so visitors can plan a route by topic.

What will 3devo, amsight and DyeMansion show?

3devo plans a live run of its Filament Maker X10 turning PA12 waste powder from Multi Jet Fusion printers into filament, plus the smaller Filament Maker TWO for materials development. A limited number of Filament Maker ONE units will be sold at a 20 percent show discount, and an ROI calculator is on the stand.

amsight presents quality management software that gathers powder, machine, process, finishing and inspection records per part, aimed at traceability, audit documentation and root-cause work. DyeMansion launches the Powershot Go, a compact PolyShot cleaning and surfacing unit developed with HP as the companion to the HP Multi Jet Fusion 1200. It also suits SLS, SAF and HSS parts, costs under EUR 14,000, and further details follow on 13 November.

What are EOS and Raise3D bringing?

EOS unveils a polymer production platform for high-mix production on 17 November at 11 a.m., described as targeting first-time-right quality, higher throughput and less operator effort. On the metal side it shows applications in space, aerospace and medical, plus an Innovation Zone with future metal technology.

Raise3D plans European launches of the T450 and T700 large-format FFF printers, the RMS220 SLS solution and the B520 automated sandblaster, alongside DLP workflows.

Which questions does the guide suggest asking?

Each entry ends with a question aimed at evidence rather than claims: full cost per kilogram of usable filament, which machine and inspection integrations already work, batch capacity and cycle time for a given finish, measured consistency across changeovers, and the real lead time, labour and cost per good part including finishing.

What it means

For small and mid sized manufacturers, the useful part of this guide is its habit of turning launches into cost questions: recycling economics, finishing capacity, integration effort and cost per good part. Most items are announcements, so figures on stands will be vendor data until tested on your own parts. Compact finishing at under EUR 14,000 and in-house filament recycling both lower the entry barrier, but labour, qualification and quality records decide the business case. It also continues earlier Formnext preview coverage of amsight, HP's compact MJF 1200 and Raise3D's large-format launches.
