2026 CAMX Composites and Advanced Materials Expo, Atlanta, USA

The 2026 CAMX - The Composites and Advanced Materials Expo in Atlanta, USA, is North America's largest and most influential event for the composites and advanced materials industry. This exhibition is jointly organized by the American Composites Manufacturers Association (ACMA) and the Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE). The powerful alliance of these two pivotal industry organizations ensures CAMX's leading position in professionalism, authority, and industry coverage. CAMX's history can be traced back to its predecessors – ACMA's Composites exhibition and SAMPE's annual conference and exhibition. In 2014, the two major events merged to create CAMX, a new, more comprehensive platform designed to provide unparalleled networking, learning, and business opportunities for the entire composites supply chain. Held annually, rotating among major U.S. cities, the 2026 edition will once again take place in Atlanta, expected to attract tens of thousands of professional visitors and hundreds of exhibiting companies from around the world. CAMX is grand in scale, with exhibition areas often exceeding hundreds of thousands of square feet, bringing together all segments of the composites value chain, from raw material suppliers and equipment manufacturers to product application developers. The exhibition not only features extensive exhibition areas showcasing the latest products, technologies, and solutions but also concurrently hosts a series of high-level professional conferences, technical seminars, and educational training courses, covering hot topics such as the latest research findings in composites, cutting-edge application trends, manufacturing process innovations, and market development dynamics. These activities provide exhibitors and visitors with a valuable platform for in-depth understanding of industry development, expanding business networks, and seeking cooperation opportunities. CAMX's influence is far-reaching; it is not only a barometer for the North American composites industry but also an important bridge for global composites technology exchange and trade cooperation. Key exhibitors include composite raw material suppliers (e.g., resins, fibers, additives), composite manufacturing equipment suppliers (e.g., molding equipment, cutting equipment, testing equipment), composite product manufacturers, composite design and engineering service providers, research institutions, and professional buyers and technical experts from various application fields such as aerospace, automotive, wind energy, marine, construction, sporting goods, and medical devices. The exhibition is dedicated to promoting innovation and application of composite technologies, fostering close collaboration between upstream and downstream in the industry chain, and injecting new vitality into the sustainable development of the industry.

The exhibit range of the 2026 CAMX - The Composites and Advanced Materials Expo in Atlanta, USA, covers the entire value chain of the composites and advanced materials industry, aiming to provide exhibitors and visitors with a comprehensive platform to showcase and understand the latest technologies, products, and solutions. Specific exhibit categories include, but are not limited to, the following aspects: 1. **Raw Materials and Intermediate Products**: This category forms the foundation of the composites industry, including various high-performance fibers such as carbon fibers (including standard modulus, intermediate modulus, high modulus carbon fibers and their prepregs, chopped fibers, powders, etc.), glass fibers (including E-glass, S-glass, R-glass and their fabrics, mats, chopped strands, etc.), aramid fibers, basalt fibers, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers, natural fibers, etc. Additionally, it includes various resin matrices such as epoxy resins, polyester resins, vinyl ester resins, phenolic resins, polyurethane resins, thermoplastic resins (e.g., PEEK, PPS, PAI, etc.) and their modified products. Auxiliary materials such as release agents, curing agents, accelerators, tougheners, plasticizers, flame retardants, colorants, fillers (e.g., microspheres, nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, etc.), as well as various core materials (e.g., honeycomb cores, foam cores, wood, etc.) and prepregs (e.g., unidirectional tapes, fabric prepregs) will be key highlights. 2. **Composite Manufacturing Equipment and Processes**: This category focuses on the production and manufacturing processes of composite materials, including various molding equipment such as RTM/LRTM equipment, vacuum infusion equipment, filament winding equipment, pultrusion equipment, autoclaves, compression molding presses, injection molding machines, extruders, etc. Concurrently, automated production lines, robotic applications, cutting equipment (e.g., waterjet cutting, laser cutting), grinding equipment, spraying equipment, and mold design and manufacturing technologies will also be important exhibits. Furthermore, surface treatment technologies (e.g., coatings, painting), bonding technologies, welding technologies, and composite recycling and reuse technologies will be fully showcased. 3. **Composite Products and Applications**: This section is a highlight of the exhibition, demonstrating the wide-ranging applications of composite materials across various industries. Specifically, it includes structural components in aerospace (e.g., fuselage, wings, tail, engine parts), lightweight components in the automotive industry (e.g., body, chassis, interior parts), wind turbine blades in the wind energy sector, hull structures and offshore platform components in marine engineering, structural and decorative materials in the construction industry, sporting goods (e.g., bicycles, tennis rackets, golf clubs, skis), medical devices (e.g., prosthetics, orthopedic implants), electronic product casings, pipes, storage tanks, and other industrial and civil products. Various high-performance composite products, such as carbon fiber composites, glass fiber composites, ceramic matrix composites, and metal matrix composites, will all be featured. 4. **Testing, Inspection, and Quality Control**: To ensure the performance and quality of composite materials, various testing and inspection equipment and technologies are crucial. This includes Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) equipment (e.g., ultrasonic testing, X-ray testing, infrared thermography), mechanical property testing equipment (e.g., tensile testing machines, impact testing machines, fatigue testing machines), physical property testing equipment (e.g., densitometers, hardness testers), chemical analysis equipment, thermal analysis equipment, and various quality control software and systems. Third-party testing services and certification bodies will also provide consulting services. 5. **Design, Engineering, and Software Services**: This category showcases design and engineering support throughout the entire process of composite product development, from concept to realization. It includes CAD/CAE/CAM software, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software, composite structure design and optimization software, process simulation software, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems, as well as specialized engineering consulting services, technology transfer, and R&D cooperation projects. These services are essential for driving innovation and application of composite products.
