AMB is one of Europe’s leading events dedicated to metalworking technologies. Machine tools, machining, precision tooling, metrology, automation and digitalisation are at the heart of the exhibition.
The 2026 edition will place particular emphasis on metal-cutting machine tools, automated manufacturing processes and emerging production technologies. Artificial intelligence, digitalisation and automation will also be among the key developments to watch.
Why it matters to Matissart
AMB is directly relevant to the core of our manufacturing operations.
For an extrusion blow mould manufacturer, the innovations showcased at AMB may apply to several stages of the manufacturing process: milling, turning, grinding, EDM, inspection and machining automation.
Key areas to watch include:
- developments in machining centres and 5-axis machining;
- machining strategies designed to reduce cycle times;
- new cutting tools for aluminium, steels and copper alloys;
- automated loading and inspection;
- metrology and in-process inspection;
- predictive maintenance for machine tools;
- integration of AI into production control and optimisation.
For Matissart, AMB is therefore first and foremost an observatory for technologies capable of improving the precision, productivity and control of our machining operations.
