Visitor fow far exceeded our expectations, our booth, which featured the debut ofthe world's first 3D printed mattress, was so crowded for three consecutive days itwas difficult to walk through. Our sales team was incredibly busy handling aconstant stream of inquiries from international clients spanning the Middle East,India, Pakistan, Europe and the US, and the organisers' all-round support, bothbefore and during the show, has been excellent

In my mould manufacturing business in Japan, clients are increasingly asking about 3D printing, but it's difficult toconnect with Chinese suppliers from there. Coming to this exhibition allowed me to make those direct connections, and italso completely challenged my preconceptions about 'Mlade in China. l'm leaving with a newfound confidence in thequality and innovation lhave seen here.

The response to our presentation at Formnext Asia Shenzhen showed the eagerness of Chinese companies to expandinternationally. The seating area was at full capacity, with people even standing outside to listen, and every slide showingdata had the audience's full attention. Afterwards, we received several substantive inguiries from companies asking forsupport., For us this confirms that this event provides access to a key market that reauires our advisory. aualifcation anctraining services.
