DDX is set to strengthen its position in the manufacturing technology sector through its participation in Xylexpo 2026, one of Europe’s leading exhibitions for woodworking and furniture production technologies. The biennial event will take place from 9 to 12 June 2026 at the Rho exhibition centre in Milan.
This year’s exhibition will introduce an expanded industry focus. Alongside traditional woodworking technologies, greater attention will be placed on composite materials and multi-material manufacturing systems. The event is evolving into a broader industrial platform under the new Matec identity.
DDX will use the exhibition to demonstrate its advanced CAD/CAM software portfolio designed for wood and composite material processing. The company aims to engage directly with manufacturers, architects, planners, interior designers, and international buyers seeking digital production solutions.
The exhibition programme has been developed in collaboration with Plast, the trade event dedicated to plastics technologies. Together, the two events will explore the growing importance of multimateriality within manufacturing and product design.
Pavilions 14 and 18 will host Composites Future, an exhibition and conference area dedicated to composite technologies and advanced materials. The initiative is supported by Assocompositi, the Italian association representing companies active within the composites industry.
For DDX, the exhibition represents an opportunity to demonstrate how digital manufacturing systems can support increasingly complex industrial workflows. The company’s software solutions are designed to integrate into both large-scale and specialised production environments.
Company representatives stated that participation in Xylexpo 2026 reflects DDX’s continued commitment to innovation within the wood-furniture and composites sectors. New opportunities are expected to emerge as industries increasingly adopt integrated manufacturing technologies.
The 29th edition of Xylexpo will place strong emphasis on advanced production systems, automation, and digital transformation. State-of-the-art CNC machinery and intelligent software platforms are expected to attract significant industry attention.
Visitors attending the event will be introduced to technologies capable of improving production efficiency and workflow management. Manufacturing flexibility will also be highlighted throughout the exhibition.
DDX will present several specialised software systems during the event. EasyWOOD and EasyWOOD NC will be showcased for CAM management within woodworking operations. These tools are designed to support precision machining and production control.
EasyBEAM and EasyWALL will also be demonstrated. The software platforms are intended for the design and manufacturing of beams and structural panels. Increased demand for digital construction methods has strengthened interest in these systems.
Furniture and cabinet manufacturers are expected to focus closely on XDesignPRO. The software enables the creation of furniture projects while supporting integration with EasyWOOD for direct production management.
Additional solutions for specialist production applications will also be featured. PowerWIN, PowerSTAIRS, and PowerDOOR have been developed for the design and manufacturing of windows, staircases, and doors.
The company’s booth will be located at Stand F23 in Hall 14. DDX experts will be available throughout the exhibition to explain software functionality and production integration processes.
Industry professionals are expected to examine how CAD/CAM systems can optimise manufacturing workflows. Production efficiency and digital connectivity remain key priorities across the sector.
The event will not focus solely on product demonstrations. Conferences and training seminars will also form an important part of the exhibition programme. Participants will have opportunities to discuss sustainability, production efficiency, and emerging design trends.
Several presentations are expected to address the role of composite materials in future manufacturing strategies. Greater use of mixed materials is increasingly being explored across furniture, construction, and industrial design sectors.
Networking opportunities are also expected to attract international participation. Industry experts, suppliers, manufacturers, and technology developers will gather to discuss future market developments and collaborative opportunities.
The growing relationship between wood, plastics, and composite materials will remain a central topic throughout the event. Competitive manufacturing strategies and technological innovation are likely to dominate industry discussions.
Xylexpo Digital will extend the exhibition experience beyond the physical event. Through a dedicated digital archive, visitors will gain access to technical articles, interviews, and industry insights after the exhibition concludes.
This digital platform has been designed to support continuous learning and industry engagement. Access to technical resources is expected to strengthen professional knowledge sharing across the sector.
For DDX, Xylexpo 2026 represents more than a trade fair appearance. It is also an opportunity to reinforce its role within the evolving manufacturing technology market. The company continues to focus on software systems capable of supporting advanced production environments and integrated industrial processes.
As manufacturing industries adopt increasingly digital and multimaterial production models, demand for flexible software solutions is expected to rise. DDX aims to position its technologies at the centre of this industrial transformation.
