Scaling up steel
for the future of additive manufacturing
ArcelorMittal at Formnext Frankfurt 2024
THE CHALLENGE
For ArcelorMittal, Formnext 2024 was not just another trade fair. It was time to publicly solidify their strategic commitment to additive manufacturing and present the market with a clear message: 3D-printed steel is ready for industrial scaling. The challenge was to communicate a profound business transformation, the launch of ArcelorMittal Powders as a dedicated unit, and a high-impact technological collaboration with HP, all within a highly technical, competitive, and innovation-driven environment. El espacio debía atraer, explicar y generar confianza en cuestión de segundos.
OUR APPROACH
We designed a stand intended as a platform for industrial credibility. A clear, precise, and technologically advanced space that would help translate complex concepts like binder jetting, sustainability, and cost reduction per piece into understandable and tangible messages. The project focused on articulating ArcelorMittal’s narrative as a key player in the AM ecosystem, connecting its production capacity, R&D infrastructure, and sustainability vision with real-world applications for sectors like automotive. The strategic collaboration visually reinforced the alliance, turning the fair into a shared stage for innovation.
“Formnext demanded accuracy and credibility. The space helped turn a complex technology alliance into a compelling and powerful story.”
Mateo Escolano Bertomeu, Project Manager
THE RESULTS
The presence on Formnext attracted significant attention from manufacturers, engineering firms, and industrial decision-makers. The launch of ArcelorMittal Powders and the collaboration with HP positioned the company as one of the key players at the event. The booth became a crucial meeting point for understanding how steel can lead the next phase of additive manufacturing: more accessible, more sustainable, and ready for large-scale production. Un mensaje claro, coherente y alineado con el futuro del sector.
