The AMUG Start-up Launchpad returns to the AMUGexpo in 2026 following a successful debut in 2025. This dedicated area of the expo highlights up to 10 innovative young companies in additive manufacturing, providing a unique platform for them to showcase their technologies, solutions, and ideas to the AMUG community.
Early-stage companies are driving exciting new ideas and technologies in additive manufacturing. The Launchpad helps surface these developments, making it easier for attendees to discover, connect, and engage with emerging players.
