Not only embraced by loyal exhibitors within the moulding industry, Asiamold has also received strong support from renowned industrial associations over the years. For 2020, the Society of Advanced Moulding Technology (SAMT) will become one of the supporting associations of the show, which will further facilitate the exchange between industry players through a series of fringe events.
The world's fastest and largest direct metal 3D printers will allow Additive Manufacturing to become a mass manufacturing process when fully developed, opening up a whole world of possibilities for the simplification of complex assemblies, on-demand production and better performing, more efficient products.

You are never too old for model building, not even at VMR. Therefore we were looking forward to the challenge to produce a model for the company Breyer from Singen. They needed a 1:10 scale model of a special machine for a trade fair. After preparing the data, all individual components were produced in our 3D printer. For an exhibition model with high demands on the surface, however, there is still no suitable additive process. For this reason, the individual parts were then ground by hand. Then the model was painted and assembled - just like in real model making.
With its compact size, BeAM's Modulo 250 is not only designed for the manufacturing of small parts: it is particularly suitable for material research activities. Many laboratories, universities and research centers adopt this Directed Energy Deposition (DED) machine. After the People's Friendship University (Russia) and LAPRAS in Brazil, BeAM announces two new deliveries, one for Carleton University in Canada and the other for Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems R&D in Japan.
BeAM's Modulo 400 machine is attracting more and more industrial users and Research and Technology platforms. Latest customer references include Voestalpine AM Centre (Singapore), NLR (Netherlands), and ARTC (Advanced Remanufacturing Technology Centre, Singapore).
At FormNext, AddUp presents the first pieces made of pure copper as part of the “Ambition” project. This collaborative Research and Development project brings together several industrial partners, including SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC (leader), PSA GROUP, VARINOR, LIFCO INDUSTRIE and ESI, as well as research laboratories: PIMM (Arts et Métiers ParisTech), SIMAP (INP Grenoble), LPGP (Université Paris-Sud) and LERMPS (Université de Technologie de Belfort-Montbéliard). The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the technico-economic feasibility of additive manufacturing of pure copper and copper alloys with powder bed laser beam melting (LBM) technology. Launched in 2018, the “Ambition” project is planned to last 42 months. It has a budget of 5.6 million euros, financed to the tune of 1.8 million euros by national funds (BPI France) and regional funds (Auvergne Rhône-Alpes and Ile- de-France regions) in the form of a FUI (Single Interministerial Fund).
AddUp continues its strategy of increasing productivity for its FormUp® machine line. At the FormNext show, the manufacturer presents a part made on FormUp® 700, an industrial demonstrator of LBM (laser beam melting) machine equipped with a large platform and multi-laser technology. This first demonstrator was developed for IREPA Laser, a reference technology resource center in France for the implementation of industrial laser manufacturing processes. AddUp and IREPA Laser are partners in a research and development project on high productivity.
At FormNext 2019, AddUp Group presents an example of an automated metal additive manufacturing workshop. This concept is directly inspired by Michelin's know-how, which has been operating an equivalent workshop since 2014 for the manufacture of tyre molds.
AddUp presents a unique modular factory concept, developed in partnership with CESI (network of campus for higher education and vocational training) and CAPSA. The Anywhere Additive FactoryTM is a stand-alone additive manufacturing unit that can be deployed in any environment.
AddUp expands its range of Laser Beam Melting (LBM) machines with the new FormUp® 200, designed to meet the expectations of industrial companies looking for a machine with a good price/performance ratio.
With "La Mallette", AddUp and Decayeux STI offer luxury companies a range of demonstration objects enabling them to imagine new products and consider their manufacture on an industrial scale.
34,532 specialists and managers (2018: 26,919) were swept away by an impressive Formnext 2019. 852 exhibitors (2018: 632) made Messe Frankfurt the stage for the ever-increasing fields of application of additive manufacturing. The move to the modern and architecturally-sophisticated exhibition halls 11 and 12, which was due to strong growth, has thus proved its worth.
