Formnext Forum Tokyo confirms September return; exhibitor applications now open

16 Jan 2024

With a combined exhibition and seminar format, the event specialising in additive manufacturing (AM) technology and related products and services, will take place from 26 – 27 September 2024 at the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center HAMAMATSUCHO-KAN. Known as a sister event of Formnext in Germany, the Tokyo event features a range of topical seminars and showcases covering a variety of AM products and services along with the next generation of intelligent industrial production solutions. Now in its 4th edition, the annual event will provide exhibitors, visitors and conference attendees with the latest industry knowledge and offer ample business and networking opportunities.

As AM technology rapidly advances, innovation, and improved idea implementation are becoming critical for harnessing its full potential. September’s event is set to support this through a lineup of ‘special seminars’ featuring prominent speakers  from both domestic and international spheres, alongside ‘exhibitor presentations’ where companies will showcase their latest products and services. In 2024, 1,500 visitors are expected to attend the two-day event.
