STOM 2026 is behind us. Several days filled with intensive meetings and discussions with machine manufacturers, tooling suppliers, and partners from the CNC machining industry.
From March 24–27, 2026, Targi Kielce once again became a meeting place for the industrial sector during the Industrial Spring event cycle, covering areas such as metalworking, automation, robotics, and manufacturing technologies.
Meetings and Observations from the Trade Fair
Participation in the event was primarily an opportunity for direct contact with technology suppliers and for evaluating solutions presented at the exhibition stands.
Such meetings make it possible to:
- See technologies in practice,
- compare different approaches to the same production challenges,
- confront solutions with real market requirements.
This is particularly important in an industry where technological decisions directly affect process stability and component quality.
Development Trends in CNC Machining
We returned from the trade fair with new tools to test and new ideas for further development.
The key trends we observed include:
- Greater focus on process stability,
- repeatable production in larger series,
- optimization of machining parameters,
- development of automation and process integration.
In CNC machining, there is an increasingly visible shift toward solutions focused on production predictability rather than only individual technological parameters.
The Importance of Industry Events
Industry trade fairs remain one of the most valuable sources of knowledge about technological development trends.
Direct contact with manufacturers and the opportunity to see machines and tools in operation make it easier to evaluate their application in real production environments.
Such meetings are highly valuable because they allow solutions to be compared with practical experience and current market requirements.
We would like to thank all organizers and participants for the valuable conversations and exchange of experience.
