Agenda INOV.AM successfully concluded its participation in the world’s largest trade fair dedicated to Additive Manufacturing: Formnext 2025, held between November 18 and 21 in Frankfurt, Germany.

In Hall 11.0, Stand B81, visitors were able to see a wide range of advanced materials and solutions that demonstrated the scope and versatility of Additive Manufacturing technology. Among the highlights presented were:

• Renewable thermoplastic filaments with natural fillers;
• Printed mold inserts;
• Parts for aeronautical applications;
• Extrusion sticks with metal fillers;
• Thermoplastic and recycled-based, recyclable, or bio-based composite materials;
• Pre-impregnated composites with continuous fibers and thermoplastic matrices;
• Bio-based polymeric materials for additive manufacturing of orthotics, accompanied by examples of printed functional orthotics;
• Ceramic pastes of earthenware, stoneware, plaster, porcelain, and red clay, as well as printed pieces in these materials—including a red clay cobogó, bases for reproducing sea urchins, and pieces with stone powder;
• Pieces printed in glass;
• Modules printed in plaster;
• Products resulting from printing with cork in a reinforced polymer matrix;
• Prototypes manufactured with thermoplastic granules and wood powder;
• A door printed with wood tapes, illustrating the integration between natural materials and additive processes;
• Foodstuffs produced by Additive Manufacturing, highlighting how this technology can expand frontiers for various sectors.

INOV.AM’s participation helped raise awareness of the Agenda’s technological developments, reinforcing its role as a promoter of innovative, sustainable, and technologically advanced solutions, and consolidating the competitiveness of its partners on the international stage.

The INOV.AM Agenda thanks all visitors and partners who contributed to the success of this participation and reaffirms its commitment to continue developing innovative solutions that project Portugal into the future of industry.
