FlashForge is among more than a dozen Chinese companies that are attending the event. More than 60 3D printer manufacturers, filament materials providers and software makers have brought their latest models and products for peer review, in hopes of attracting business partners and distributors.

The printers, some massive and standing two meters tall, and some tiny enough to fit in the palm of one's hand, are all buzzing and humming, producing their own unique creations.
