Iran has launched its first national additive manufacturing event, AMnexus 2026, hosted by the University of Tehran Science and Technology Park, with an open call for participation covering additive manufacturing technologies, materials, and equipment (original in Persian: فراخوان اولین رویداد ملی ساخت افزایشی AMnexus 2026). Iran is advancing the industrialization of additive manufacturing through a national event—the Middle East market for metal powders (spherical titanium powder/nickel-based superalloy powder) and 3D printing equipment is taking shape, offering emerging market leads for domestic powder manufacturers seeking overseas expansion and supporting exports.
