Additive manufacturing will take center stage at the 35.BI-MU event in Milan this October, bringing together key players from across the industry. This event, running from October 13-16, 2026, will feature AMITALY, an exhibition area dedicated to the full spectrum of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies and services.
What Happened
AMITALY, organized under the patronage of the Italian Association of Additive Technologies (AITA), is set to showcase the entire AM supply chain at Italy's major machine tool trade show, 35.BI-MU. The event will host participants from various sectors, including aerospace, automotive, biomedical, oil and gas, and food industries. The exhibition aims to highlight the economic, social, and environmental sustainability opportunities that AM offers, alongside the latest technological solutions.
The exhibit will focus on process control and repeatability, with attention to feedstock quality, thermal management, and production traceability. Industrial case studies will demonstrate adoption pathways such as tooling, lightweight structures, and on-demand spare parts. The exhibition will also emphasize sustainability, featuring design optimization, on-demand production, and mass customization.
Luigi Galdabini, President of AITA, emphasized the strategic value of AMITALY, noting that the integration of machines, materials, software, and post-processing in one space allows for comprehensive evaluation of technologies and use cases.
What This Means for Your Business
For US operators in the AECM sector, AMITALY presents a significant opportunity to explore the latest advancements in additive manufacturing. Companies can gain insights into new technologies and processes that enhance efficiency and sustainability. The event offers a platform to evaluate potential collaborations and partnerships across international markets.
AMITALY's focus on sustainability and process optimization aligns with current trends in reducing waste and improving product lifecycle management. Businesses can explore how these innovations might translate into cost savings and competitive advantages in their operations.
What US Operators Should Watch
Decision-makers should monitor developments from AMITALY, especially in areas like feedstock innovation, process control technologies, and post-processing services. Keeping an eye on the outcomes of the industrial case studies presented could provide valuable insights for integrating AM into existing workflows.
The event will also highlight education and workforce development in AM, with initiatives like the Additive Future Lab competition showcasing the next generation of talent. This focus on skill development is crucial as the industry seeks to build a capable workforce for future growth.
