Eindhoven – June 23, 2026 – Shapeways has established a partnership with FuturePulse 2026, the premier Dutch robotics conference organized by NL Robotics. The event will take place on September 15 and 16, 2026. It will explore how robotics and artificial intelligence are transforming healthcare, industry, and daily life. This collaboration highlights a shared commitment to advancing technological capabilities and preparing the global market for the next era of automation.
FuturePulse 2026 serves as a key meeting point for the international robotics ecosystem. The conference will feature interactive sessions, live technology demonstrations, and comprehensive seminars designed to evaluate technological breakthroughs.
Early strategic decisions in technology integration define the solution space for future industries. By participating in FuturePulse 2026, industry professionals can analyze present trends to predict and prepare for long-term operational shifts.
As a featured speaker, Shapeways Chief Operating Officer Jules Witte and Head of Marketing Victoria Martinez, will outline the future of digital manufacturing in robotics hardware development.
They will explore how additive and traditional manufacturing intersect to accelerate robotics innovation. They will also provide a detailed analysis of how Shapeways bridges the critical gap between prototyping, low-volume production, and scalable manufacturing solutions. The implication for leaders is clear. Manufacturing strategy can no longer be treated as a late-stage concern, as early integration of flexible production methods is precisely what will enable Europe to lead the next wave of robotics.
Events like FuturePulse 2026 demonstrate the value of a coordinated ecosystem. It brings together more than 600 companies, knowledge institutions, and government bodies under organizations such as NL Robotics to accelerate innovation and implementation. By aligning flexible manufacturing capabilities with Europe’s broader robotics agenda, the region can transform fragmented potential into sustained, globally competitive leadership.
