From November 17 to 20, 2026,<\/strong> Formnext will bring together all the key players in additive manufacturing, and so far, 790 exhibitors are expected in Frankfurt. To help you navigate the event, 3Dnatives has revamped its dedicated ecosystem<\/a> for the show: an interactive floor plan, personalized tour itineraries, an expanded schedule, and all our videos and articles in one place.<\/p>\n

Formnext is the major annual event for additive manufacturing. For over 10 years, the entire industry has gathered in Halls 11 and 12 at Messe Frankfurt. Even though this year\u2019s show will be held in \u201conly\u201d three halls (instead of four), the organizers are expecting a large turnout! Visitors will be able to meet several participants from the United Kingdom, which is this year\u2019s partner country.<\/p>\n

Find Exhibitors with Our Interactive Map<\/h2>\n

The new Exhibitors section<\/a> lists the 790 companies attending Formnext. There, you can search for an exhibitor by name, product, material, or booth number. Each result takes you directly to the interactive map of the trade show. This way, you can see where the booth is located and explore the aisles even before you arrive in Frankfurt. If you’re mainly looking for new products among this complex lineup, the \u201cNew at Formnext\u201d filter displays the 103 new products announced by 60 exhibitors.
