Among the highlights is Mark3D UK Limited, an industrial equipment supplier, which will draw in drone and robotics enthusiasts with cutting-edge additive manufacturing technologies. The company is presenting a suite of Markforged 3D printers, alongside their UAV Sensus Drone and the Robo Challenge BattleBot ‘Spectre’.
 
R&D company RVmagnetics is another, introducing their MicroWire sensors — the world's smallest contactless passive sensors capable of measuring multiple physical properties such as temperature, mechanical stress, torsion and magnetic fields. These advanced sensors offer real-time data readouts and are highly versatile, being resistant to harsh environments.
 
In addition, MAPAL, a technology partner for machining aluminium components, will debut their innovative cutting tools for 2024. This will feature the OptiMill-Alu-Wave and NeoMill-Alu-QBig, designed to push the limits of precision and efficiency in aluminium machining.
