IMTMA – Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association will be organizing the seventh edition of the IMTEX Forming event. This event will take place from June 16-21, 2022 at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) in Bengaluru. It will be held along with two concurrent shows; Digital manufacturing and Tooltech 2022.
The focus of the digital manufacturing show will mainly be the latest tech innovations in Additive Manufacturing and Industry 4.0. Tooltech 2022 will feature tool-related technologies, including machine tool accessories, forming tools, die & moulds, metrology, CAD/CAM, and many more.
The organizers of this event expect to host about 350 exhibitors coming from over 16 countries, including India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, UK, USA, Austria, China, Czech Republic, France, and Germany. There is a lot of excitement about this event mainly because it hasn’t been happening for close to two years due to the covid19 pandemic.
IMTEX Forming and Tooltech 2022 will bring together various stakeholders with the aim of sharing knowledge and doing business. Due to the high number of participants that are expected at this event, the organizers have reserved an exhibition space that will span around 33,000 square metres to accommodate all participants and activities.
The participants of this event will come from various industries including, automotive, railways, power, medical equipment, oil and gas equipment manufacturers, auto components, aerospace, defence, shipbuilding, white and brown good, and many more. Basically, any industry that uses digital manufacturing in its production processes should benefit from this event.
Some of the metal forming technologies that will be demonstrated live at the event include Additive Manufacturing, metrology, presses, bending, welding & joining, high-speed laser machines, CAD/CAM essential for manufacturing, and robotics & automation in sheet metalworking. By the end of the shows, visitors will have gained a lot of knowledge to enable them to make informed decisions back when they get back to their workplaces.
Ravi Raghavan, President, IMTMA said that having the IMTEX Forming event just after the pandemic is very crucial to advancing India’s manufacturing capabilities moving forward. IMTEX Forming is also the leading metal forming and manufacturing technology show in southeast India, so it will be very crucial for all manufacturers within this region and the entire country at large.
