The organisers of Formnext + PM South China made the decision today to defer the fair in view of the current circumstances regarding the pandemic in Shenzhen. The fair was originally scheduled to take place from 14 – 16 September at the Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center. New dates for the exhibition will be announced at the earliest opportunity.
The decision to postpone the fair was made based on the evolving situation of the pandemic and with concern for the health and safety of participants. It was also deemed better to host the event at a later date to give all parties concerned the confidence that Formnext + PM South China will go ahead with minimal disruption. With key supporters and exhibitors voicing their support for the postponement, the organisers are now turning their attention towards confirming a new timeslot for the fair.
Explore endless possibilities.
Formnext + PM South China will hold its inaugural edition in the brand-new Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center.
Anticipated to welcome over 10,000 visitors and host more than 200 exhibitors from around the world across approximately 20,000 sqm of exhibition space, Formnext + PM South China will bring a brand new experience to China’s manufacturing industry, covering an array of advanced technology, equipment and products under the categories of materials, powder metallurgy, additive manufacturing, design, software and processing technologies.
“We’ve been exhibiting at Formnext in Frankfurt for years and when we know that the fair is going to be held in China we decided to join as it is a trusted platform for the industry. Additive manufacturing is an emerging industry in China and has seen rapid growth over the past five years. The Chinese market has a lot of potential especially when the 14th Five-Year Plan calls for cultivating advanced manufacturing industry clusters, together with the government’s increased investment into aerospace technology, these will provide ample opportunities for the additive manufacturing industry. “

“I have great interest in metal 3D printing so when I know Formnext + PM China will debut in Shenzhen I have to come here. Many of the industry’s household names join the fair including Xi'an Bright Laser Technologies which I would visit their booth for sure. Besides sourcing for metal 3D printing products, I’ve learned about the latest technologies in additive manufacturing including ceramic printing and inkjet printing. I will definitely visit the fair next year!”
Guangdong Academy of Sciences
Mr Chang Cheng, Researcher, Institute of New Materials
“I am engaged in scientific research for laser and my main focus is laser cladding. My purpose to join this fair is to communicate with different companies or parties, so as to have further corporations if their business is matched. I have discovered BLT’ strengths that they have two or four lasers for 3D laser printing, which enhance production efficacy. Besides, the China’s 14th Five-Year Plan can bring forth prosperous future for the industry as the policy is in flavor of promoting high-tech industry developments. Also, new materials will be benefited from the policy while additive manufacturing can further boost new materials’ developments and applications. All in all, as we are in the digitalized and informational era, digitalization, additive manufacturing and powder’s integration will facilitate manufacturing industry to a splendid future.”
