Formnext’s South China event rebrands to Formnext Asia Shenzhen
November 1, 2024
Guangzhou Guangya Messe Frankfurt Co Ltd has announced that Formnext + PM South China will be rebranded as Formnext Asia Shenzhen for its next iteration, scheduled for August 26–28, 2025.
Formnext Asia Shenzhen will follow the model of the original Formnext, showcasing products and technologies across the entire Additive Manufacturing process chain, from pre- to post-production. Alongside AM equipment, the exhibition aims to bring together suppliers of raw materials, post-processing technologies, inspection equipment, AM solutions, services and more. This enables visitors to source core equipment and essential supporting technologies.
The 2025 edition will also expand beyond its existing product coverage to include a wider range of advanced manufacturing solutions, including digital production, automation and precision forming. Presented alongside AM technologies, this expansion is hoped to provide a more cohesive platform that supports every stage of the production workflow, encouraging further innovation and development throughout the industry.
Fringe programmes and year-round educational offerings
In 2025, the Formnext Asia Shenzhen fringe programme will work to deliver insights into the AM industry, covering developments in technologies, materials, and applications across both upstream and downstream processes. The programme includes contributions from leading companies, researchers and technical experts, providing attendees access to a wide range of expertise and knowledge.
As part of its rebranding, Formnext Asia Shenzhen will also extend its educational offerings beyond the core exhibition dates and South China region, launching a series of year-round events throughout the country. These sessions will provide continuous learning opportunities for Additive Manufacturing industry professionals and help industry newcomers to better understand the potential and applications of AM technologies. The restructured format will also enable contributing exhibitors and speakers to maintain consistent interaction with end users from application industries throughout the year.
