The Shop Floor has always been a must-visit at 3DEXPERIENCE World, and 2026 is shaping up to be its best year yet. Our team has been busy building something special for Houston, and we’re excited for you to experience it. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming and why you’ll want to swing by and check out the innovation for yourself.

Machining and Fabrication: Where Innovation Takes Shape

If you enjoyed last year’s collaboration with Ellison Technologies (DN Solutions) and Tormach, then you’ll be excited to know that we’re raising the bar again with an impressive lineup of machines for the Shop Floor:

Ellison Technologies will be showcasing the DNM 5700 4^th GEN. Don’t miss this best-in-class vertical machining center, packed with powerful standard features, including a BIGPLUS spindle, dual chip augers, FANUC 0i-M controls with DN Solutions Easy Operation Package (EOP), through-spindle coolant, spindle chiller and more. Watch as it brings custom designs from SOLIDWORKS to life.
Tormach always delivers, and this year is no exception. Be one of the first to see Tormach’s new 15LX lathe, equipped with absolute encoder servos on every axis – including the turret. The 15LX is faster, more powerful, and still remarkably easy to use. See this lathe firsthand, which is noted as: “Double the Power in a Compact Footprint!

Automation: Moving Manufacturing Forward

Automation is reshaping manufacturing at every turn, and we’re all in. This year, you’ll get to experience:

Spartan Robotics will feature its Spartan 7-Axis Cobot Welding Solution. See for yourself the impressive maneuverability of this 7-axis robot, which offers greater flexibility, precision and efficiency in robot welding. Curious about how offline programming can cut time and improve your process? Come see the Spartan 7 in action, with seamless integration into DELMIA’s offline programming tools.

Assembly Operations: Bringing It All Together

New this year! We’ve added assembly and shipping operations to complete the Shop Floor. With our assembly and staging stations, see how we complete an assembly, starting with the DNM 5700 4th Gen machined component and progressing through staging for the shipping process, leveraging label printing, scanning and software solutions to deliver tracking of work-in-process operations.

Integrated Manufacturing Systems is a great addition to the Shop Floor. IMS will showcase its labeling and scanning technologies integrated with DELMIAWorks’ Warehouse Management solutions to demonstrate how seamless inventory flow and control can be achieved as part of our complete Shop Floor journey.

Software: Connecting the Dots

Machinery is only part of the story. We’re also showcasing the software solutions that tie it all together, making production smarter, faster and more connected. Stop by to explore:

ERP/MES solutions
Lean processes
Virtual factory simulation
CAM
Robot Programming
Live machine connectivity, including real-time monitoring

You Thought That Was All?

Not even close. We’ve got a few more surprises up our sleeve that we can’t reveal just yet—but, trust us, you’ll want to be in Houston to get the full experience!

See You on the Shop Floor in Houston

This is your chance to get up close with cutting-edge technology, meet with experts and peers, and share your own challenges and insights. Whether you’ve been coming for years or this is your first time, we can’t wait to see you, connect and make some great memories together.
