Exhibitors: ITTA, HENGCHANG, EMMA, LIANROU, etc. WoodTech Atelier: Exploring Craftsmanship Through Finished Works Located in Hall 8.1 (NECC, Shanghai, Hongqiao), the WoodTech Atelier presents a "See the Finished Product, Understand the Craft" concept. Seventeen equipment manufacturers collaborate with design, material, and craftsmanship partners to showcase a signature creative piece representing their technological pathway (such as curved components, mirror door panels, seamless edge banding samples, functional art pieces, etc.), accompanied by concise "process and concept" explanations and key component samples. This helps visitors clearly see the collaborative loop from design → materials → equipment → processes → inspection.   Visitors can first experience the finished products up close—appreciating their edges, textures, and luster—before tracing back key processes such as five-axis machining, soft-molding/special-shaped processing, seamless edge banding (laser/PUR), high-gloss/mirror surface treatment, sanding and spraying, AI vision/path planning, online inspection, and quality control. They can then proceed to the corresponding technology suppliers' booths to watch live machine demonstrations and engage with engineers, transforming aesthetic details into actionable production rhythms and parameter solutions. This dedicated zone remains open throughout the entire exhibition period. Concurrent Events | Insights and Leadership for Woodworking Industry Upgrading As a key highlight of the exhibition, WMF 2025 will host multiple high-end conferences and exchange events.
