Every two years, the North American manufacturing industry converges on Chicago for IMTS, the International Manufacturing Technology Show. This September, AltForm will be there.
IMTS 2026 runs September 14 to 19 at McCormick Place, Chicago. The show spans over 1.2 million square feet of exhibit space, with more than 2,000 exhibitors and an expected 90,000 visitors from across the manufacturing sector. For many manufacturers, IMTS is where capital equipment decisions get made: a biennial concentration of buying intent, technical evaluation, and industry intelligence that has no equivalent in the Western Hemisphere.
Where to find us: Sodick Inc., Booth 338640
We will be exhibiting at the stand of Sodick Inc., our partner for the North American market. Booth 338640, South Building, Level 3.
Sodick Inc. is the North American arm of the Sodick Group, the Japanese precision engineering leader of which AltForm became part in 2025. Sharing the floor with Sodick Inc. at a show of this scale is the right way to present ourselves in a market we are actively developing. It is a statement about how we approach new geographies: with partners who know the market, the customers, and the expectations.
On the floor: Print Brilliance 400
We are bringing the Print Brilliance 400, the most advanced system in our Powder Bed Fusion portfolio.
The Print Brilliance 400 features a 430x430x450 mm build volume and four full-overlap lasers, meaning each laser has access to the full build area. This architectural choice has a direct consequence on production strategy: the system adapts to the geometry, not the other way around. Build rate reaches up to 4×100 cm3/h, with layer thickness adjustable between 20 and 120 micrometers.
It’s a system designed for serial production, offering high performance for a reasonable investment. For North American manufacturers considering metal additive manufacturing for aerospace, automotive, defense, and industrial machinery applications, it represents a concrete solution, with one of the best price-performance ratios on the market.
Come and see it in person
IMTS is where manufacturing engineers evaluate equipment, not browse brochures. We will be at Booth 338640 for the full duration of the show, ready to talk about the Print Brilliance 400, our broader technology portfolio, and what serious metal AM production looks like in practice.
If you are attending IMTS 2026, come and find us.
