IMTS 2026 to showcase AI and automation reshaping U.S. Manufacturing.

IMTS 2026 to showcase AI and automation reshaping U.S. Manufacturing. McLean, Va. - As manufacturing technology orders continue their upward trajectory and U.S. labor productivity achieves significant gains, the upcoming IMTS 2026 (International Manufacturing Technology Show) is set to highlight the technologies fueling the sector's next phase of growth. Scheduled for September 14-19 at McCormick Place in Chicago, the event will provide industry professionals with a comprehensive look at industrial AI, automation, additive manufacturing (AM), and digital twin technologies. Strong manufacturing growth in 2026. The momentum in the manufacturing sector is measurable. During the first four months of 2026, manufacturing technology orders reached $2.19 billion, marking a 28.9% increase compared to the same period in 2025, according to the U.S. Manufacturing Technology Orders Report published by AMT. Additionally, the ISM Manufacturing PMI hit 53.3% in June, with the ISM Manufacturing New Orders Index expanding for the sixth consecutive month. Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics further illustrates this trend: manufacturing labor productivity rose by 3.2% in the first quarter of 2026. Simultaneously, output grew by 3.3% without any increase in hours worked. This divergence suggests that manufacturers are successfully integrating technology to boost per-worker productivity rather than simply adding headcount. Bridging the Gap with AI and Automation. "Production demands and workforce constraints are pushing manufacturers to take a closer look at technologies like AI, digital twins, additive, and advanced automation," stated Mike Cicco, president and CEO of FANUC America and chairman of the board at AMT. IMTS 2026 will serve as a venue for manufacturers to explore how advances in AI-driven vision systems, predictive analytics, and adaptive control can streamline programming and routine tasks. By implementing these digital manufacturing technologies, companies can enable their workforce to focus on higher-value responsibilities, making the automation of parts and data more accessible to operators of varying skill levels. Doug Woods, AMT President, noted that the speed and scope of digital technology deployment across the production lifecycle make this year's show uniquely significant. The integration of these tools is playing a key role in larger economic shifts, including reshoring efforts and broader technology adoption rates. Driving resiliency through connected operations. Technology is fundamentally altering the capabilities of modern job shops. High-performing contract manufacturers are increasingly relying on unattended operations to maximize machine utilization and revenue. For instance, companies like MetalQuest Unlimited achieve these efficiencies by utilizing digitally connected shops, digital twin technology, and automated CNC machining operations. These connected systems allow businesses to evaluate how they can improve resiliency and navigate global supply chain disruptions. The growing role of additive manufacturing. Additive manufacturing continues to help suppliers shift away from prolonged supply chains in favor of localized, on-demand component production. At IMTS 2026, companies like EOS will introduce next-generation platforms, such as the EOS M4 Onyx, designed specifically for industrial-scale 3D printing. Advancements in AM now frequently incorporate AI-enabled tools to optimize build preparation, simulate builds, and monitor meltpool behavior in real time. This integration helps ensure part quality and repeatability while significantly reducing trial-and-error and accelerating qualification cycles. Unveiling new AI attractions at IMTS 2026. To help attendees better understand and evaluate these innovations, IMTS 2026 is introducing two new features: * The Industrial AI Arena: A dedicated space featuring 32 exhibitors and Sandia National Laboratories, focused entirely on AI-driven manufacturing solutions. * The IMTS Industrial AI Conference: A comprehensive full-day program designed to educate manufacturers on practical AI applications, including predictive maintenance, quality control, edge versus cloud deployment, and data readiness. Ryan Kelly, AMT's vice president of technology, emphasized that the event will connect manufacturers with AI experts who understand real-world industrial workflows and can help transition businesses from curiosity to implementation. Exploring AI across the ecosystem. Industrial AI will be on display at every level of the manufacturing stack at IMTS 2026. Major cloud providers, including Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft, will demonstrate how data infrastructure and AI tools can bridge the gap between engineering, operations, and IT systems. Furthermore, AI-native platforms and embedded AI technologies will be showcased by industry leaders like Autodesk, Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, Heidenhain, Keyence, Mazak, and Siemens. These embedded solutions are designed to reduce setup times, shorten cycle times, stabilize machining accuracy, and streamline CNC program generation. For professionals looking to stay competitive in the rapidly evolving industrial landscape, IMTS 2026 offers an opportunity to compare technologies side-by-side and establish a practical roadmap for the future of advanced manufacturing.

Six lasers, 450mm bed: EOS brings the M4 Onyx to North America as the beam-shaping FLX nears.

Six lasers, 450mm bed: EOS brings the M4 Onyx to North America as the beam-shaping FLX nears. EOS brings its six-laser M4 Onyx to North America at IMTS 2026 in September, but the real story is the M4 Onyx FLX due Q3 2026 - four kilowatt-class beam-shaping lasers betting that a smarter, bigger spot beats adding more spots. Plus a live spec discrepancy between EOS and the trade press. 2026-07-16 · By FilamentFeed Staff Photo: René Volfík, via Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 4.0) EOS will bring its M4 ONYX metal laser powder bed fusion platform to North America for the first time at IMTS 2026, September 14-19 at McCormick Place in Chicago - but the machine on the stand isn't the interesting part. The M4 Onyx has been shipping since Q1 2026, and was unveiled at Formnext 2025 in Frankfurt before that. The genuinely new thing is a variant that hasn't shipped: the M4 ONYX FLX, due Q3 2026, which throws out the six-laser architecture and replaces it with four kilowatt-class beam-shaping lasers. That swap is a bet worth understanding even if you will never be within a hundred meters of a titanium powder handling station. Two ways to go faster. Metal LPBF has a throughput ceiling, and everyone knows exactly where it comes from. A laser melts a pool of powder, and that pool has to be small - a few hundred microns - because melt pool physics gets ugly fast when you dump too much energy into one spot. Keyholing, spatter, porosity, evaporation of the low-boiling-point alloying elements. So you get a small, well-behaved spot and scan it across a 450 mm bed one hairline at a time. The build takes days. There are two obvious escapes. The first is the one the industry has run for a decade: add more lasers. Two, then four, then eight, each with its own galvo scanner scanning its own patch of the bed. This is brute force, it works, and it brings second-order problems - overlap stitching where two lasers meet at a zone boundary, cross-contamination when one laser's plume drifts into another's optical path, gas flow that must sweep condensate off the entire bed uniformly, and calibration that must hold all those optical trains in agreement over a 450 mm square. The standard M4 ONYX takes this route with six 400 W lasers, and EOS claims 50% higher throughput than its previous systems as a result. The second escape is the one the FLX takes: stop making the spot smaller and start making it smarter. Beam shaping means actively controlling the spatial energy distribution of a single much larger spot - rings, cores, arbitrary profiles - instead of accepting the Gaussian your fiber laser wants to give you. Done well, you can run a kilowatt-class laser without the melt pool tearing itself apart, because the energy lands in a distribution the pool can absorb rather than a single scorching peak. Four lasers at 1.5 kW each is 6 kW of optical power against the six-laser machine's 2.4 kW, through fewer optical trains with fewer boundaries to stitch. If it works, it is a cleaner answer than adding a seventh and eighth laser. If it doesn't, it's four expensive lasers producing porous parts. EOS has published no process data either way, and the FLX is a quarter away. A specification discrepancy worth flagging. Two numbers in circulation don't agree. VoxelMatters, reporting the IMTS debut on July 15, gives the build volume as 450 x 450 x 360 mm and describes the FLX as using four 1 kW beam-shaping lasers. EOS's own press release gives 450 x 450 x 400 mm - explicitly footnoting that the figure includes the build platform - and specifies four 1.5 kW beam-shaping lasers on the FLX. Filamentfeed is going with EOS's numbers, since they come from the manufacturer, and the footnote suggests the Z discrepancy is a measurement-convention difference rather than an error: 400 mm including the platform and 360 mm of usable Z are not necessarily contradictory. The laser power gap is harder to reconcile - 1 kW and 1.5 kW are different machines - and neither source explains the difference. Treat the FLX's power figure as provisional until the machine ships. The rest of the claim sheet. EOS's release is dense with numbers, and they're worth the appropriate amount of salt, because they are vendor claims without published methodology: a 30% reduction in part costs; up to 97% system availability (OEE), which EOS explicitly conditions on full-service contracts; more than 90% powder material recovery; up to 50% reduction in QA expenses via digital fingerprinting; automated job changeovers in under 30 minutes through a Grenzebach Dual Setup Station; and software that cuts order-to-print lead times by up to 30%. EOS also says Smart Fusion minimizes supports and enhances surface quality, and credits its beam-control capabilities with doubling build speeds. Materials at launch are titanium, nickel, and stainless steel, with more on request; VoxelMatters additionally lists aluminum alloys. The 97% OEE figure tells you what this machine is for. Nobody quotes overall equipment effectiveness to a shop that runs one printer. That number is for a customer running a floor of them on production contracts, where an hour of downtime has a dollar figure attached and the service agreement is part of the product - precisely why EOS attaches the full-service-contract condition. VoxelMatters quotes EOS marketing director Patrick Boyd on working "closely with customers and partners across the defense and aerospace supply chain," which is the same sentence from the other direction. The supporting cast reinforces the read: an RFS Pro powder-recovery unit EOS says cuts hazardous waste by up to 90%, and a Volkmann closed-loop powder handling system. Neither is a printer feature. Both answer what it costs to run twenty of these continuously - the only question at this tier. No pricing was disclosed in either source, which for a machine in this class roughly means "if you have to ask." What it means for makers. Directly, nothing. You are not buying a six-laser LPBF system, and the FLX will not be showing up on a Kickstarter. Indirectly, the FLX is a live experiment in a tradeoff you already argue about. More heads or a faster head? It's the IDEX-versus-toolchanger debate, the same question every time throughput hits a wall. The desktop FFF answer has largely been "make the single head better" - high-flow hotends, better melt geometry - because coordinating independent heads over a shared workspace costs more in complexity than it returns in speed. Toolchangers exist, but they solve a materials problem, not a speed one. EOS is running both experiments at once, on the same frame, with the same bed, where the economics are brutal enough to settle the argument on evidence rather than forum opinion. The standard machine brute-forces it with six spots. The FLX bets that larger, actively shaped spots beat adding spots. Which architecture EOS is still selling in 2029 will tell you whether the "faster head" answer generalizes past desktop plastic. Worth watching, even from the cheap seats. Sources.

EOS loves it too, yeah! Aluminium CP1 for all.

EOS loves it too, yeah! Aluminium CP1 for all. EOS is adding Constellium Aheadd CP1 to its materials offering. In EOS-land, the material will be called EOS Aluminium Constellium CP1. In addition to the new CP1, Constellium's Al5X1 material will also stay in the portfolio, renamed to the snazzy EOS Aluminium Constellium Al5X1. The company also hopes that newer aluminium materials will enter into service on the back of this development. The two firms have made validated process parameters for the materials. What's more, you can now get help from EOS's Additive Minds team to scale up production in these powders quickly. Ludovic Piquier, Senior Vice President, Manufacturing Excellence and Chief Technical Officer at Constellium, stated, "This partnership represents a unique opportunity to bring next-generation aluminium alloys into industrial additive manufacturing at scale. By combining Constellium's alloy development expertise with EOS' leadership in AM, we aim to accelerate innovation and unlock new high-performance applications for customers worldwide." EOS CTO Joachim Zettler said, "With EOS Aluminium Constellium CP1, EOS Aluminium Constellium Al5X1, and our partnership with Constellium, we are setting a new benchmark for aluminium in additive manufacturing. Together, we are enabling higher performance, greater productivity, and faster industrial adoption for our customers." This is great news for $8 billion revenue aluminium giant Constellium. It's also yet another sign of the rise of what 3dprintboard call "designer aluminiums." In a deep dark past, we had something called AlSi10Mg. I called this "stupid aluminium" because someone would ask me if we had something called the 6000 series, which by the way is not some BMW from the future or a graphics card, but a material. I would then feel kind of stupid when I told them that all we had is something called AlSi10Mg, which they would have invariably never heard of and not understand. They would ask about things like "six oh six one," and I'd then kind of take the conversation back to titanium. Subsequently, people figured out that rather than being some niche thing, it could be super useful because 3dprintboard could do magical things with it. Beyond wrapping sandwiches, you see aluminium can be made to run super fast on LPBF machines, which makes it cheap. You can also have some that will let you anodize it or make post-processing easy and cheap. Slowly 3dprintboard has been coming around to this fantastic stuff with proprietary, unique flavors of it, like the Equispheres version. Now CP1 is surging ahead as the most desired one. SLM's Behrang Poorganji loved the material and predicted that it would get into more production applications at the beginning of the year, STELIA and Constellium wanted to use it for fuselages, America Makes paid SLM to make a dataset for it, and REM developed a specific finishing process to get it from out of deep pockets in complex channels. EOS says that it likes EOS Aluminium Constellium CP1 because of its elongation, better strength, and thermal stability. The material's lack of Mg and Zn help for "stable processing at high laser power and increased productivity," and it also has good corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity. It's also easy to anodize and polish electrochemically with easier heat treatment without quenching. These last few factors mean that it's cheaper to process, taking out some process steps and making part failure less likely. The company thinks that people will use it to make semiconductor heat sinks and wafer carriers, lightweight parts, and parts for corrosive places like plants. It also mentions heat exchangers, and this is likely where a lot of the excitement is centered on. Heat exchangers are great for 3D printing because they need different geometry throughout the changer, since the material will behave differently at different moments and stages. Thin walls are also important, as is thermal conductivity. You want to make them conformal, as small and efficient as possible, and improve flow with 3D printing. And if you can reduce processing steps and print them quickly, they'll be nice and cheap too. Heat exchangers are everywhere, and they can really affect the performance of an engine, a rocket, a really big machine made in Eindhoven, a complex system, anything really. In a lot of industries, heat exchangers are important. And if you're already working with 3D printing for your wings and seeker, then the heat exchanger could also benefit from 3D printing. In critical applications and applications where mass matters, heat exchange performance separately also often matters. And of course you can get mass and other benefits from making your heat exchanger lighter and smaller. This is the most valuable when the craft is expensive or its performance is critical. So these advantages compound one another. And there are literally millions of heat exchangers in use in quite high end applications. This is a significant opportunity for 3dprintboard. EOS is nice enough to say that "many existing AlSi10Mg applications can benefit from EOS Aluminium Constellium CP1's improved processing characteristics and performance advantages, offering manufacturers an affordable, high-performance solution." So let's totally re-qualify all the stupid aluminum stuff! Meanwhile, "Al5X1 provides a high-strength, high-elongation, and anodizable solution for demanding aerospace, transportation, and motorsport applications." That too has one-step, non-quenching heat treatment, and a "400 MPa and an elongation exceeding 13% after heat treatment." It's kind of better in shocks or with repeated stress maybe? Perhaps it's like a space or satellite material? Or is it just some F1 hydraulics or intercooler thing? Maybe since you can now make 3D printed suspension uprights, it's for that? The FIA has allowed CP1 previously, but seems to be more open to different alloys now, its long term hate campaign against beryllium notwithstanding. And of course, with the proviso that they're not used in heat exchanger bodies. I love this. EOS is opening up to software, adjustments, and materials. Many more people are going to be able to do more with their magic boxes. And CP1 to me just sounds like a perfectly sensible material for the future of additive in mature production applications.

Additive business update: 3D Systems, Materialise, Stratasys, and more.

Additive business update: 3D Systems, Materialise, Stratasys, and more. Financial results and new industry partnerships. With RAPID + TCT 2026 just a few weeks away, we should expect more announcements from the major players in additive manufacturing (AM) coming soon. Until then, however, there have been several recent developments on the business side of the AM industry that are worth noting. 3D Systems announces financial results and new CFO. Earlier this month, 3D Systems announced its financial results for 2025. While the company emphasized a strong fourth quarter, total revenue was down 12% year-over-year, with healthcare revenue down 5% and industrial solutions revenue down 17%. According to 3D Systems, adjusting for the sale of Geomagic improves those figures significantly, with total revenue and industrial solutions revenue down only 7% and 9% when the divestiture is taken into account. "We are pleased with our fourth quarter performance, which exceeded our expectations driven by both our Healthcare and Industrial segments," said 3D Systems president and CEO, Jeffrey Graves, in a company press release. "Three markets were particularly noteworthy: med tech, dental, and aerospace and defense, which are rapidly adopting 3D printing as a core manufacturing method. These three markets have been a particular focus for our new product development over the last several years, and we believe offer sustained growth opportunities over the next decade." "Our fourth quarter revenue increased 16% sequentially from the third quarter, driven by strengthening printer and materials sales in the period," said Phyllis Nordstrom in the same release. "We remain intensely focused on reducing overall spending, while prioritizing strategic investments that drive growth in our priority markets." Nordstrom was interim Chief Financial Officer of 3D Systems at the time, but it's just been confirmed that she'll continue permanently in this role. Nordstrom will also continue in her role as Chief Administrative Officer, overseeing global human resources, risk and compliance, and information technology and cybersecurity. Materialise and Siemens champion Additive Manufacturing Alliance. If there's one thing the AM industry loves, it's partnerships. From the AM I Navigator to the Leading Minds Consortium, there's no shortage of industry initiatives with the aim of advancing the technology and the adoption of 3D printing. Now, these two initiatives are joining forces with the creation of the Additive Manufacturing Alliance. According to its founders, the intention isn't to replace the AM I Navigator or the Leading Minds Consortium with this new alliance, but rather to align the efforts of both industry initiatives. "Our shared goal is to make additive manufacturing more accessible, less complex, and more integrated into everyday industrial production," said Brigitte de Vet-Veithen, CEO of Materialise, on behalf of the Additive Manufacturing Alliance in a Materialise press release. "Together, we can help more companies across a wider variety of industries benefit from the flexibility, efficiency, and innovation that AM enables." The AM I Navigator was launched at Formnext 2023 by Siemens, DyeMansion, HP, BASF, Forward AM, and EOS. Its goal is to provide companies with a proven framework for industrializing additive manufacturing and scaling it into serial production environments integrated with other manufacturing technologies. "Via the newly launched AM I Navigator website, companies worldwide can independently and free of charge assess their additive manufacturing maturity and explore transformational insights derived from proven industrial applications," said Karsten Heuser, VP of additive manufacturing at Siemens, in the same release. "The assessment tools are voluntary resources designed to help companies of all sizes, from startups to global manufacturers, benchmark their capabilities and identify improvement opportunities." The Leading Minds Consortium was announced at Formnext 2024 by eight founding members: Ansys, EOS, HP, Materialise, Nikon SLM, Renishaw, Stratasys, and ATLIX (formerly Trumpf Additive Manufacturing). The first initiative announced by the consortium focuses on addressing the fragmentation and complexity of AM terminology. Initial joint activities of the Additive Manufacturing Alliance will focus on knowledge exchange, joint industry communication, and supporting companies along their path toward industrializing AM. Meltio adds another sales and services partner. Continuing to widen its commercial reach, the laser metal deposition technology company Meltio has added another sales and services partner to its ranks: 3D Technology Ltd., which will distribute and support Meltio's solutions in the Ireland and Northern Ireland. 3D Technology Ltd.'s local support will include consultation and solution design, installation and commissioning, technical support and maintenance, application development and training. The company will focus on building a supportive ecosystem for Meltio's technology in the Irish territory as well as driving business opportunities alongside technology centers, machine tool companies, robotic integrators, academia, and industry. "We are incredibly excited to partner with Meltio and bring their world-class metal additive manufacturing technology to Ireland and Northern Ireland," said James Wall, managing director at 3D Technology Ltd. in a Meltio press release. "Meltio's wire-LMD systems are transforming how companies think about metal production, repair, and hybrid manufacturing." "We are delighted to welcome 3D Technology Ltd. as our official sales and technical support partner for Ireland and Northern Ireland," said Adam Hourigan, UK, Ireland, and APAC channel sales manager at Meltio, in the same release. "Now, customers in Ireland can gain access to solutions on their own soil from trusted advisors. The team at 3D Technology Ltd. is well respected for their strong engineering expertise, deep understanding of the Irish manufacturing landscape, and commitment to customer success." Stratasys releases 2025 financial results. Another big name in the AM industry, Stratasys has also announced somewhat underwhelming financial results from last year. Total revenue for the company was down 4% year-over-year, though the earnings call emphasized "solid cash flow, margins and profitability" with a specific callout to an increasing percentage of revenue coming from manufacturing. "Our fourth quarter performance caps a year in which we successfully maintained our operational discipline and delivered solid cash flow generation, demonstrating the resilience that distinguishes Stratasys," said CEO Yoav Zeif in a press release. "We generated 37.5% of our revenue from manufacturing applications, up from 25% in 2020, and made meaningful progress building on the foundational infrastructure of our highest-value use-cases, as we continued to improve our position in aerospace and defense, automotive tooling, dental, and medical applications." On that basis, the company said it is expecting 2.5-4% revenue growth this year, despite an assumption of $17M of combined adverse impact from exchange rates and tariffs relative to 2025.
