As South China’s premier event for additive manufacturing and industrial 3D printing, the 2025 edition of the event will bring together 265 of the industry’s leading innovators, including 131 first-time exhibitors, across 20,000 sqm of exhibition space. VoxelMatters is attending as a media partner and will bring you the latest updates from the show floor during the three-day event. Alongside its comprehensive showcases of AM equipment, materials, software and services, the fair will highlight how additive technologies are transforming production and enabling new possibilities in lightweighting, mass customisation and more for nearly every sector. New dedicated pavilions highlight this focus on the show floor, along with an expanded fringe programme that includes 14 conference sessions and over 150 presentations on key trends, technologies, and applications. Among the newcomers are leading suppliers such as [CH Leading](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/ch-leading-additive-manufacturing/), China Scilong, [PollyPolymer](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/pollypolymer/), Han's Matrix3D and Kongshi Technology. A significant international contingent from France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and the US will also be present. Complementing the extensive exhibitor lineup is strong local industry support, showcased in two new pavilions from the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) and the Hong Kong 3D Printing Association. The event’s fringe programme will also be enhanced with four new conference sessions on topics including AM applications in the 3C electronics (computer, communication and consumer electronics) and footwear industries. The fair will feature technologies from every stage of the additive manufacturing process chain, offering solutions for both new and experienced industrial users. On display will be a full range of AM equipment, from large-scale industrial printers to compact desktop systems, alongside the latest materials, software, services and automation solutions. To bridge the gap between technology and application, dedicated forums and themed areas will explore the use of these solutions across a growing range of industrial sectors. ![Join us at Formnext Asia Shenzhen 2025 to explore the future of additive manufacturing and 3D printing innovations.](https://www.voxelmatters.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Formnext_Asia_Shenzhen_2025_Fairground_1-1.jpeg) ## Mass customisation with 3D print farms In the consumer goods, toys and collectables markets, [the ‘print farm’ business model](https://www.voxelmatters.com/the-rise-of-3d-printer-farms/) offers a uniquely scalable and responsive way to manufacture products. Made viable through advancements in printer speed and affordability, this model utilizes large, automated fleets of 3D printers to produce items ranging from home décor to customizable toys and trending collectibles. This allows businesses to bypass the traditional bottlenecks of moulding and tooling, enabling them to respond to market trends rapidly. Following its successful 2024 debut that attracted thousands of farm operators from across China’s more than 2,000 active print farms, the 2025 3D Print Farm Conference and Farm Workshop Showcase will return with an updated look at how this trend is unfolding within the country. Co-organised with [Panda3DP, China’s largest additive manufacturing media portal](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/nanjixiong/), the conference will address topics including AI-enabled generative 3D modelling, inter-farm collaboration and case studies from successful operations, including [Jinqi Toys, one of China’s leading print farms which manufactures over 30,000 toys each day using additive manufacturing](https://www.voxelmatters.com/jinqi-toy-company-3d-prints-more-than-30000-toys-every-day/). Meanwhile, the adjacent showcase area will bring together 58 companies dedicated to the print farm ecosystem. Key suppliers such as [Creality](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/creality-3d/), [Elegoo](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/elegoo/), [eSun](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/esun/), [Kexcelled](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/kexcelled/), [Sunlu](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/sunlu/) and [Tripo AI](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/tripo3d-tripo-ai-by-vast/) and will present the essential materials, equipment, and services for this production model, alongside examples of final products from print farms. ![Join us at Formnext Asia Shenzhen 2025 to explore the future of additive manufacturing and 3D printing innovations.](https://www.voxelmatters.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/BusInt10.jpeg) ## Performance in footwear and sports In the footwear industry, 3D printing is increasingly used for the production of lightweight, ventilated and customised shoe designs. The technology also enables the creation of metal shoe molds, custom orthotic insoles, and sustainably produced footwear designed to minimize waste during production. To further support the adoption of additive manufacturing in the footwear and sports industries, Formnext Asia Shenzhen 2025 will host the new 3D Printing and Footwear Industry Application Forum. This forum will explore the latest trends impacting footwear design, production, and supply chains, bringing together speakers from the Guangdong Shoes Manufacturers’ Association, major sporting brands like [Peak](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/peak-sport-products/), and leading AM equipment and materials suppliers, including [Avimetal AM](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/avimetal-powder-metallurgy/), [BLT](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/bright-laser-technologies/), [eSun](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/esun/), Haitian and PollyPolymer. ## AM in mould-making and die-casting Metal additive manufacturing also offers significant advantages in mould-making, an industry that underpins the production of countless consumer and industrial goods. The technology can reduce mould production time, accelerate time-to-market of end-products, and enable complex tooling features such as conformal cooling channels that are unattainable or costly to produce using other methods. ![Join us at Formnext Asia Shenzhen 2025 to explore the future of additive manufacturing and 3D printing innovations.](https://www.voxelmatters.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Formnext_Asia_Shenzhen_2025_BusInt11-1.jpeg) To address the needs of the region’s extensive mould-making sector, Asiamold Select – Shenzhen will present a series of fringe events, drawing on the expertise of the Asiamold Select brand, South China’s leading trade fair series for moulds and mould-making. The programme will include two key summits: the 3D Printing Technologies in Mould Making Summit, featuring presentations from specialists such as Farsoon, Haitian, and Zhongyuan Advanced Materials, and the 3D Printing Technologies in Die Casting Summit. Complementing these sessions, the show floor will also feature leading service companies specialising in additively produced moulds, such as ESU Laser and dMac Precision. The use of advanced alloys, such as titanium, is enabling new functional possibilities for additively produced components in the 3C (computer, communication, and consumer electronics) industries. At the Metal Additive Manufacturing Forum for the 3C Electronics & Smartphone Industry, leading specialists from AmPro, Avimetal, Siemens, HP, and other companies will share insights on growth prospects, emerging applications, and material selection for manufacturing components in devices such as smartphones and tablets. ## A broad agenda covering key technologies and internationalization In addition to the in-depth explorations of consumer goods, footwear, and mould-making, the fringe programme presents a comprehensive agenda encompassing the technical, functional, and commercial aspects of additive manufacturing relevant to various industries. Highlights from the wider programme include: #### Technical trends and new technologies - The Binder Jetting Additive Manufacturing Technology Forum - The Laser and Additive Manufacturing Forum - Fibre Reinforced Composite 3D Printing Technology and Application Forum #### High-growth industry applications - New Energy Vehicle Additive Manufacturing Application Summit - Advanced 3D Printing Technology & Application Forum for the Vape Industry #### Business strategy and global insights - Formnext Asia Shenzhen New Product Launch - Overseas Market Opportunities for Chinese Additive Manufacturing Companies Seminar To register to attend Formnext Asia Shenzhen 2025, visit this [[link](https://qr.messefrankfurt.com/a14a4.)]
