IPI 2026 Ready to Explore New Territories for Industrial Print
Now in its 5th edition, the Industrial Print Integration conference has become the central meeting point for companies and institutions involved in emerging print applications spanning electronics, automotive manufacturing, biomedical engineering, optics and advanced materials.
The 2026 programme reflects the growing role of industrial print technologies in advanced manufacturing and product development. Among the companies presenting this year is Belgian start-up Antleron, which will outline its work on multimaterial 3D printing for biomedical and life science applications through its “Biology-in-a-Smart-Box” concept. Austria-based EV Group is scheduled to discuss inkjet-based processes for optics manufacturing, focusing on applications linked to augmented and virtual reality systems as well as co-packaged optics. In the automotive sector, Axalta, Dürr and Xaar will jointly present EcoNextJet, a digital printing system designed to apply customised graphics and lettering directly onto vehicle bodies during the painting process. Several presentations will address developments in printed electronics and precision manufacturing. Poland’s XTPL plans to demonstrate dispensing technology capable of producing 1 μm interconnections, while researchers from ETH Zürich will present work on electrochemical sensors, including Ir/IrOx-based pH electrodes developed using print-light-synthesis methods.
Alongside the conference programme, the accompanying exhibition will feature suppliers from across the industrial print supply chain, including materials manufacturers, software developers, inkjet specialists and curing technology providers. The 2025 edition featured 59 expert talks and 56 exhibitors.
Delegates registration is now open with early bird rates valid until 31 July 2026.
Speakers and exhibitors can still apply for the last available slots. Check our Call for Papers here.

Proven Track Record
ESMA conferences have been promoting industrial print applications for more than 15 years now. Events such as GlassPrint, Advanced Functional & Industrial Printing, Printed Interior Decoration and Direct Container Print have been successfully showing the way for printing on glass, plastics, aluminium, textiles, ceramics, wood and other materials. Today, ESMA is building new bridges for specialised markets, helping them understand the advantages of print.
Countdown to IPI
The event for printing in various manufacturing processes returns on 24-25 NOVEMBER 2026
