标题: 3D-Printing Companies to Launch Major Products at Formnext 2026 in Germany
Nanjixiong's introduction: Formnext, the world's largest 3D-printing exhibition, opens in one week (November 17–20, 2026, in Frankfurt, Germany; Nanjixiong will also report and livestream from the show). As usual, major 3D-printing companies are announcing products around the exhibition. Nikon SLM Solutions and Stratasys have already teased new systems, and application announcements are continuing to appear.

Here are previews from some exhibitors.

Metal: Nikon fills the mid-range, GEFERTEC shows large parts

Nikon SLM Solutions may be one of the most prominent exhibitors this year. It will introduce the MACHX series for mid-sized applications. Nikon says this is where most production parts belong: small systems are inadequate, while large systems may be underutilized. Details remain limited, but Nikon confirms the system is designed to be scalable. MACHX is expected to include several models and complement, rather than replace, the existing SLM 280, SLM 500, and NXG series. The launch is scheduled for 10:00 on the first morning of the show at booth D119, Hall 12.0.

At the joint Berlin-Brandenburg booth, GEFERTEC will feature large WAAM (wire arc additive manufacturing) parts: a 700 kg compressor impeller, a titanium emergency-door frame for an aircraft, a tooling mold, and a “fish-friendly” seawater-pump impeller. Its long, wing-shaped blades create a geometry that conventional casting cannot make and allow fish drawn into the pump to pass through safely. This case will be shown publicly for the first time. The company will also bring its new arc10X and arcTitan platforms. Booth B101, Hall 12.1.

Polymers: Stratasys launches a machine on day one; CMS brings a robot into the exhibition hall

Stratasys will launch a new system on the afternoon of the first day. Its F870, launched in September, will also be demonstrated in Europe for the first time. The large-format system has an integrated heated build chamber measuring 1,000 × 610 × 610 mm. Stratasys says its cost of use is comparatively low for its category. Materials include Nylon 12CF, ASA, ABS, and the new gray FDM ABS Draft. The booth will also demonstrate automation and robotics, production tooling, and digital workflows, including how the GrabCAD Additive Manufacturing App Suite supports application development, print preparation, and production. Launch: November 17 at 13:00, booth D129, Hall 12.1.

CMS will bring its six-axis robotic large-format additive system Krearob to Frankfurt for the first time. Introduced earlier this year, it targets large thermoplastic tooling, molds, and complex components for aerospace, automotive, and industrial manufacturing, and will print live during the show. CMS will also exhibit its gantry-style screw-extrusion system, Kreator A3.

Ceramics and micro/nano printing: lowering the barrier to entry

Admatec will debut its first desktop ceramic printer, Admaflex Discovery. Its “upgrade from day one” approach lets users start with a smaller, less expensive configuration and upgrade the same machine to a larger, more capable configuration without replacing it. Target users include universities, applied-research institutes, national laboratories, and industrial companies exploring technical-ceramic printing. Price: USD 92,500. Orders open in November 2026, with delivery starting in spring 2027.

Lithoz will present a Performance Pack for the CeraFab System S65 and S65 Medical. Based on 4K projection, it doubles light intensity and improves resolution by 60%, primarily addressing the difficulty of curing dark ceramics. Applications making their debut include a single build of 116 aluminum-nitride cold plates on one CeraFab S320 platform. Booth B50, Hall 11.0.

BMF's microArch S150 will make its European debut. It has 25 μm optical resolution and supports layer thicknesses of 10–100 μm; it is already commercially available. Live demonstrations will cover microfluidics, optical fiber, biomedical devices, electronics, and advanced-materials research. Booth C42, Hall 11.0.

Materials and jetting: reducing the cost of small-batch experimentation

Added Scientific (formerly Added) is launching an open, modular material-deposition platform in two versions. The JetForge Core uses its “Blade architecture,” supporting up to six materials or four printheads per build, with planarization and curing modules. The entry-level JetForge Go is aimed at early-stage jetting experiments, formulation development, and printhead evaluation. TCT quoted co-founder Christopher Tuck as saying that the team uses the platform every day and is opening it up to encourage development of more materials. JetForge Core is at Added's booth F139, Hall 12.0; Ricoh will show JetForge Go at booth E58, Hall 11.0.

French silicone-printing company Lynxter says it has “finally broken through the ceiling” in silicone 3D printing. Its new OVERTIME module is for the S300X-LIQ21/LIQ11 and allows the machine to use its entire build volume in one print. Silicone printing is limited by how long material can remain in the printhead before curing. Lynxter says OVERTIME extends available printing time and increases printing autonomy by 36 times, allowing larger parts, thinner walls, and higher resolution. Booth B71, Hall 12.1.

Software and quality: deciding before the build rather than afterward

PanOptimization is promoting PanX, which provides coupled thermal-mechanical physics simulation. The company argues that too much metal-AM process knowledge is still acquired through repeated trial prints, and that decisions should move upstream so engineers can predict a build before starting it. One company representative put it this way: the best conversations at Formnext do not begin with a software feature, but with “you have a printing problem.” Booth D49, Hall 11.

amsight makes quality-management software specifically for additive manufacturing. It addresses information scattered among spreadsheets, machine logs, laboratory reports, and individual employees, aiming to reduce management costs, improve process stability, and make production repeatable. Booth E81, Hall 12.1.

Cognitive Design Systems will launch version 2.3, featuring automated design of experiments (DoE) so teams can systematically explore options at the concept stage. It complements the company's existing generative design, design-for-manufacturing, and simulation-driven design capabilities. Booth B22, Hall 12.0, with live demonstrations.

Applications: an exhaust manifold and one million bicycle saddles

At the center of Meltio's booth will be a full-size Fiat Abarth 500 race car. Its high-performance exhaust manifold was made by DMZ using Meltio's DED metal-AM technology. The complex geometry is designed to optimize exhaust flow and cut assembly time from eight hours to one. Meltio says the manifold has covered more than 10,000 km and remains unchanged. Booth C119, Hall 12.0.

Carbon has produced more than one million bicycle saddles using its DLS technology. Its focus this time is “digitally programmed lattices,” which precisely tune cushioning, support, and mechanical performance. The exhibited products are already in customer production and span cycling, custom footwear, protective equipment, mobility seating, medical, industrial, and automotive applications. Booth F109, Hall 12.1.
