Everything you wanted to know about Weldex visitors
Robotics, digitalization and laser technologies are driving the development of the welding industry.
Explore additive manufacturing in metal fabrication, 3D printing trends, hybrid production, WAAM, LPBF, and advanced welding innovations.
Weld edge preparation systems form the foundation of consistent joint geometry, reduced repair rates, and automation-ready fabrication. By controlling bevel angles, land thickness, and cut-face quality, manufacturers can stabilise welding parameters, improve inspection outcomes, and reduce costly rework across industrial production environments.
The leading international exhibition of welding materials, equipment, and technologies is an effective tool for developing B2B sales.
We have collected interesting news from the world of welding over the past few months
Discover how industrial robots improve welding precision, reduce rework, boost QA compliance, and support ESG goals across fabrication industries.
Key welding supply chain trends are reshaping production in 2026, from material volatility and freight disruption to automation, traceability, and smarter sourcing.
3D metal printing welding is reshaping modern manufacturing by combining additive processes with traditional welding expertise. From WAAM to laser deposition, these technologies enable faster builds, complex geometries, and material efficiency. As adoption grows, manufacturers are integrating hybrid workflows to improve productivity, reduce waste, and meet evolving production demands.

Industrial gases for welding play a decisive role in arc stability, penetration, cut-edge quality, and overall productivity. From shielding gas blends to cutting assist gases, purity, flow control, and safe handling all influence weld consistency and rework rates. Learn how to choose and manage gases for predictable results.
On October 7-10, 2025, the 24th Weldex International Exhibition of Welding Materials, Equipment and Tools and the 3rd Fastenex International Exhibition of Fasteners, Fittings and Tools will be held in Moscow at the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Centre. Thanks to the busy business program, the participants and visitors successfully achieved their goals: they found new customers and signed cooperation agreements, learned about advanced technology and discussed pressing industry issues with experts.
Weld quality control determines whether production runs smoothly or gets buried in rework. From joint preparation and parameter control to inspection standards and digital monitoring, this guide explains how to prevent common defects and build a consistent, auditable welding process for 2026 and beyond.
Welding vs mechanical fastening is a core design decision. This guide compares strength, inspection, serviceability, and cost to help engineers choose the right joining method—or a hybrid approach—for reliable, compliant assemblies.
