Formnext 2025 tickets now available at early-bird discount rates
Event organiser Mesago Messe Frankfurt has announced that tickets for Formnext 2025 are now available at a discounted rate until October 21. Scheduled to take place from November 18-21, the event will feature a diverse supporting programme that focuses on real-world applications across various industries and over 800 exhibiting companies.
“Especially in times when the competitive landscape is becoming increasingly challenging for many companies, Additive Manufacturing can make the decisive difference – by either making in-house production more efficient or improving products and the value they offer,” explained Sascha F Wenzler, Vice President for Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH. “Companies from a wide range of industries will find the technology and knowledge this requires at Formnext, along with contacts that make it possible to launch new innovations with the help of AM,” adds Christoph Stüker, also Vice President for Formnext at Mesago Messe Frankfurt.
A high level of technological innovations and world premieres are expected at Formnext in 2025. The exhibition will be accompanied by a programme that offers a practical and application-oriented perspective on the possibilities of AM and its user industries, including aviation and aerospace, mechanical and plant engineering, and jewellery and watches. Visitors will have the chance to find out about the most important innovations and applications in person and gain deeper insights at the stage programme, conferences, showcases, and other programme items.
The 2025 partner country, Spain, will present itself at Formnext 2025 with numerous innovative exhibitors. Besides boasting a highly dynamic and rapidly growing AM industry, the Iberian nation is seen by organisers as a bridge between Europe and Latin America due to its geographical location. Spain is traditionally one of the strongest exhibitor countries at Formnext, and around thrity companies are expected to attend the 2025 event. The Spanish AM industry is particularly strong in the areas of AM systems, materials, and R&D.
Formnext 2025 will feature a presentation lineup that is open to all attendees and will be held across three stages, offering numerous opportunities for professional interaction. Renowned experts will discuss current and future applications, technologies, and trends in AM and the manufacturing industry at large. The Industry Stage is dedicated to overarching topics that affect the AM sector, such as sustainability, the industrialisation of AM, and design for AM. On the Application Stage, AM users will share their experiences and expertise. And finally, exhibitors’ innovations will be presented on the Technology Stage.
Additionally, the already established Discover3DPrinting seminars, which are held in cooperation with ACAM (Aachen Center for Additive Manufacturing), will take place daily on the Application Stage. Here, newcomers to AM production can hear both an overview and important insights. Large-format plastic AM, the rise of Directed Energy Deposition (DED) technology, data-driven design, and the scaling of Additive Manufacturing deep dives are also planned.
Meanwhile, the Formnext Awards will once again honour young innovative companies, sustainable business ideas, and groundbreaking technologies across six different categories. As usual, the public will be invited to take part in the voting as of the beginning of October. The finalists’ exhibits will be shown both online in the run-up to the trade fair and at a special show, and the winners will be chosen at a festive award ceremony on November 20, 2025. In the Start-up Area and at the Young Innovators booth, which is being organised in cooperation with the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWK), young, innovative companies will be able to present themselves and make important contacts, including with potential investors and partners. The companies in the Start-up Area will also present themselves at a Pitchnext event on November 18, 2025.
Job seekers can explore career opportunities in the AM industry at AM Jobs@Formnext. In addition to the Job Wall, visitors will have the chance to receive career counselling and participate in a professional photo shoot on November 20. The showcases at Formnext 2025 will provide further in-depth insights into the world of AM applications. The VDMA is presenting on Additive Manufacturing in mechanical engineering, and the BE-AM showcase will use real applications to demonstrate advanced developments in AM in the construction industry. At the same time, the BE-AM Symposium on November 19, 2025, will cover a variety of background information and future developments in this industry. The AM Innovation and Standards Summit@Formnext, organised by ASTM International, will take place on November 17, 2025, one day before the start of Formnext.
