FAQ

Questions about Formnext

All FAQs
Why should I register on Additive Companion before Formnext?

So you arrive prepared. Visitors can explore the applications on show, save the ones they want to see and find the providers and people to meet in Frankfurt. Exhibitors can put their applications and booth in front of the community before the doors open, and stay reachable after the show.

Is registration free, and should I join as a user or a provider?

Registration is free. One account works for both: join as a user, and if your company provides AM solutions, create or claim its provider profile from the same account.

How can I discover relevant applications, save my favourites and connect with exhibitors?

Search and filter by industry, technology, material or provider. Save applications to your collections, follow providers, and connect with and message the people behind the applications. The Formnext event page lists the exhibitors on Additive Companion with their hall and booth.

How can I showcase my company and upload applications?

Create or claim your provider profile, then add your applications from your dashboard. On the Formnext event page you can add your hall and booth number and pick the applications visitors can see there.

What information do I need to publish an application, and can I include project partners?

The challenge, the solution and the outcome, with images, plus the industry, technologies, materials and process steps involved. Yes: each process step can name the partners who carried it out, so they are credited and can be found from your application. Our team reviews every application before it is published.

How do I get three months free and unlock 50% off the following six months?

Sign up or claim your account by 31 December 2026 and you get 3 months of Premium free, with no card needed. Providers can then unlock 6 months at 50% off with credits: one for each application naming the provider that is created during the offer and approved by our team. 2 credits unlock the discount on Pro, 5 on Premium.

What are the deadlines and eligibility requirements for the Formnext promotion?

The offer runs from 21 October 2026 to 31 December 2026 and applies to everyone who signs up or claims an account in that period. Credits count applications created during the offer and approved by our team. The full terms are on the pricing page.

How are the “Most Popular Applications,” “Most Popular Providers” and “Most Active Users” selected, and what can they win?

Winners are chosen by the community’s engagement on Additive Companion: views, likes, saves, shares and follows for applications and providers, and members’ own activity for users. The winners receive a Premium membership for a full year.

What happens to my membership, profile and applications after Formnext and the promotional period?

Your profile, applications and collections stay. When the free months end your account moves to Discovery, with no automatic charge, and you can choose a paid plan from that day. We remind you 14, 7 and 3 days before, and on the day.

Where can I get help with registration or uploading applications?

Send us a message through the contact page, or use the help button on any page once you are signed in. We are happy to help you set up your profile and your first applications.
