Formnext Chicago 2025 Postponed
The organizations behind Formnext Chicago have announced the postponement of the show, which was due to launch April 8-10, 2025, at Chicago's McCormick Place.
"In light of the current market conditions, the structural dynamics of additive manufacturing (AM), and scheduling conflicts with another AM show, it became increasingly difficult for us to host a successful and impactful event," said Douglas K. Woods, president of AMT -- The Association For Manufacturing Technology, which organized the show with Mesago Messe Frankfurt (the producers of Formnext in Germany) and Gardner Business Media (GBM).
"After careful consideration, we believe that postponement of Formnext Chicago is the most responsible decision under current circumstances."
Woods continued: "Our priority is to support the buyer and seller community in ways that truly benefit their businesses, and we believe this is the best course of action to achieve that goal. AMT represents the builders of technology, and we're guided by our focus on acting in the best interest of our members and the manufacturing technology industry community as a whole."
The objective of creating Formnext Chicago was to bring together the entire additive manufacturing and industrial production ecosystem in North America, expanding the success of Formnext in Germany, the largest AM event in the world.
"Our goal as an organization is to bring communities together and move them forward," said Woods. "We will continue to build bridges between buyers and sellers of AM technology, the manufacturing and AM communities, and the organizations supporting the technology, an objective that will continue at IMTS in 2026 with enhancements to the Additive Manufacturing Sector and expanded conferences at the world's largest manufacturing event."
