Formnext Chicago

Formnext Chicago may be over a year away, but Daniel Janka, President of Mazak North America is giving a sneak peek at what they are featuring at the show (the VC-500A/5X AM HWD). Janka spoke with Peter Eelman, Chief Experience Officer at AMT about their plans for the show and why it is a gamechanger. Watch the full video here:

Today's #flashbackfriday is brought to you by Formnext Forum Austin last year. At this amazing event, we had our original Founders Club members- FormAlloy Technologies, Inc., EOS and Mazak North America-sign up to exhibit at Formnext Chicago in 2025! We can't wait to see them all together again, this time on the show floor in just about 9 months!

Summer is always a good time for nostalgia, so what better time for a #flashbackfriday to when we announced Formnext Chicago 2025? It was 2021 and we announced our partnerships with Formnext - Where ideas take shape, Gardner Business Media, Inc., and Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH to bring the legendary show stateside! We've been hard at work since then preparing for a great show that highlights the whole ecosystem of industrial additive manufacturing. We look forward to seeing you all there April 8-10, 2025!

ROLEX has been a known name in time for nearly 120 years, so it is no surprise they know how to be ahead of the curve. Rolex got into additive manufacturing all the way back in 2007, back when the first iPhone was introduced and Myspace was all the rage on social media. AMT - The Association For Manufacturing Technology's Stephen LaMarca gets into the unsung hero of AM starting 17 years ago! Read all about Rolex's voyage into additive here:
