Sustainability First 

#ProjectZero is a long-term commitment to reducing our impact on the planet by developing sustainable products, solutions, and production methods, while also studying the impact of the 3D printing industry and evolving the way we work.

Our Net Zero stand at Formnext demonstrates how the commitment to Project Zero runs through every action at Forward AM. Our 135 square meter booth is constructed favoring sustainable materials along with an open layout that requires less material, therefore creating less waste, and is optimally designed for each element to be reused in the future. 

Go all out at our Flex Gym

At our Flex Gym you can discover how versatile 3D-printing materials really are.

Experience our redesigned gym equipment that showcases engineering services, virtual simulation, and flexible materials as our Flex Coach team shows you different exercises and guides you through the circuit.  We challenge you to put our redesigned gym equipment to the test and push it to its limits by observing the shock absorption, tear resistance, and fatigue resistance of our innovative flexible materials.

Curious to learn more? We are looking forward to meeting you and showcasing our Flex Gym. 

Interact with Innovative Applications

At our booth this year, you can experience many innovative applications through interactive displays. Stroll through our shoe store, relax in our concept car, prepare for our Flex Gym in our sports locker room and transport yourself to an alpine trail on our mountain bike. 

All of these were developed in partnership with a variety of customers throughout several different industries. They show how versatile 3D printing is and how it is a game changer for almost every company. 

Sit in the front row

At our booth, you will have the opportunity to experience multiple MasterClass talks from Forward AM team members, partners, and 3D printing experts. 

The talks will revolve around exciting new materials, Forward AM's vision for sustainability and #PROJETZERO, different technologies, and applications. 

Check back for the full schedule soon.
