Exhibitors’ Feedback

It was great to have the opportunity to speak with people we wouldn't normally encounter and heard their specific needs, such as
major heavy industry manufacturers and aerospace industry professionals.

Thanks to the size and high profile of the exhibition, we were able to connect with unexpected industry professionals.
By demonstrating the machines in action, we were able to seize opportunities to approach new clients who could experience thebenefits firsthand.
There were several projects that led to meetings immediately after the exhibition ended.
We were able to meet a metal AM user whom we had not been in contact with before.
Lots of visitors with basic knowledge attended.

We were satisfied with both quality and quantity of visitors.
The information gained at the exhibition seems to be immediately applicable to our future marketing activities.

We are very satisfied as there were many visitors from our target market.
Two media companies featured us in their articles, and the resulting impact was significant, leading to many inquiries anddeveloping into business negotiations.
