# Over 500 exhibitors from around the globe register for Formnext 2026

While the event is still eight months away, preparations are very much underway for [Formnext 2026](https://www.voxelmatters.com/event/formnext-2026/) in Frankfurt, Germany. The major AM trade show, which last year celebrated its 10th anniversary and saw record attendance, has already recorded over 500 exhibitors (527 to be exact) from 34 countries around the globe. The commitment from such a broad spectrum of companies at this stage shows that AM continues to be on the rise and that Formnext continues to be a hub for its growth.

"Despite an increasingly complex general economic climate, the world of AM continues to grow and still offers future-oriented business opportunities for stakeholders along the entire process chain," said Sascha F. Wenzler, VP for Formnext at event organizer Mesago Messe Frankfurt. Notably, out of the 527 exhibitors already registered, 64.5% come from outside of Germany, signalling the global significance of the event. According to Formnext, the countries with the most representation aside from Germany are the [United Kingdom (which is Formnext 2026's partner country)](https://www.voxelmatters.com/formnext-2026-names-the-united-kingdom-as-partner-country/), China, France, Italy, Spain, and the United States.

Among those registered to exhibit in November are industry leaders like 3D Systems, AMCM, Carbon, DMG Mori, DyeMansion, EOS, ExOne (with Voxeljet), Formlabs, HP, Lithoz, Ricoh, Siemens, Sisma, XJet, and others. Visitors of Formnext 2026 can also expect to see a number of new exhibitors, including startups, corporations, and associations. So far, first-time exhibitors come from 21 different countries and include service providers, software providers, post-processing companies, and automation specialists.

"The variety of new exhibitors underscores the dynamic of the entire AM sector,” commented Petra Haarburger, President Mesago Messe Frankfurt. “It illustrates the relevance of a leading international trade show like Formnext in helping these often recently established companies to network, gain maximum visibility, and successfully gain a foothold in the industry."

Other returning exhibitors come from the AM materials sector, which continues to grow, both in terms of variety and value. These include specialized material companies like DWS, Headmade Materials, Höganäs, m4p, Metalpine, and Polymaker, as well as international material suppliers, like Evonik, Linde, Sandvik, and VDM Metals. The global AM services market will also be well represented at Formnext 2026, with 3D-WERK Black Forest, 3Faktur, Alphacam, FIT AG, FKM Sintertechnik, KraussMaffei, KSB, Materialise, Oerlikon, and Toolcraft among the exhibitors. Key players in the maker and prosumer markets, like Bambu Lab, Creality, and Prusa, have also registered to showcase at Formnext 2026.

Looking at the event broadly, [Formnext 2026](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/formnext/) will reportedly place a significant focus on industries where AM is being enthusiastically adopted. These industries include aviation, automotive, mobility and transportation, construction and architecture, and energy, oil, and gas.

“Additive Manufacturing has become an integral part of all these user industries. As part of the production and, in many cases, optimization of functional components, it is helping to make spare parts logistics and supply chain management more efficient and also improves customer service,” said Christoph Stüker, Vice President of Formnext at Mesago Messe Frankfurt. “Because additive manufacturing is often complex, it usually requires the right solutions for the entire manufacturing process, including design, materials, AM manufacturing and post-processing. As the leading platform for additive manufacturing, Formnext provides a unique insight into these very solutions.”

Formnext 2026 will take place from November 17th to 20th, 2026 at its usual location at Frankfurt am Main. This year, however, the event will span three levels in Halls 11.0, 12.0, and 12.1. This new layout was selected in the interest of reducing walking distances between exhibitor halls and improving flow for visitors.
