The zone covers automation, digital production systems, and precision engineering. According to Exhibition Director Evelyn Warwick, the goal is to make advanced manufacturing developments "more accessible, more visible and more actionable for the global manufacturing community". EuroBLECH covers the entire sheet metal working technology chain, making it a must-visit for anyone involved in cutting, bending, and forming operations .

FABTECH 2026 – Las Vegas, October 21-23(Hope to see you there, Booth No:C8619)

North America's largest metal forming, fabricating, welding, and finishing event returns to Las Vegas for the first time in a decade. FABTECH will feature over 1400 exhibitors and more than 31,000 attendees across 700,000 sq ft of show floor. New this year is the Artificial Intelligence for Manufacturing (AIM) Pavilion, which highlights predictive maintenance, machine vision, real-time data analytics, digital twins, and IIoT solutions. The conference program includes over 180 sessions across 12 educational tracks, and the keynote stage will feature technology expert Amber Mac discussing AI's impact on business and manufacturing. FABTECH is particularly valuable for companies looking to understand how AI and smart manufacturing can improve productivity and reduce costs.
