in some places while the integration of new technologies( such as artificial intelligence and additive manufacturing) necessitates continuous advanced training. EMO will present the entire metalworking value chain from machine tools, production systems and additive processes through to precision tools, automation, metrology, quality assurance, software and accessories.
“ During EMO 2025, almost 1,400 exhibitors from 35 countries will present solutions to these challenges. Experts will discuss the megatrends of automation, digitalisation( including artificial intelligence) and sustainability, and examine their progress in metalworking,” explained Dr. Heering.
