SMI Composites will attend CAMX 2026 in Atlanta this September. We will be joining professionals from across the composites industry to explore new technologies, exchange ideas, and discuss what is next for advanced composite manufacturing.
As demand grows for lightweight, durable, and high-performance materials, events like CAMX provide an opportunity to see how the industry is responding. The American Composites Manufacturers Association expects the global industry to grow 3 to 4 percent in 2026, creating new opportunities for advanced materials and more efficient manufacturing processes.
What Will You Find at CAMX 2026?
CAMX brings manufacturers, engineers, suppliers, and industry leaders together to explore advancements across the composites industry. The conference runs September 21 through 24 at the Georgia World Congress Center, with the exhibition taking place September 22 through 24.
With more than 100 education sessions, CAMX allows attendees to learn from industry experts, explore new materials and technologies, and see how emerging processes are being applied to real manufacturing challenges.
This is where new ideas meet real production needs.
Why Attend CAMX?
For engineers, manufacturers, and buyers, CAMX provides an opportunity to compare materials, manufacturing methods, tooling, automation, and other technologies in one place.
It is also an opportunity to connect directly with professionals working through many of the same challenges facing today’s manufacturers. From improving production efficiency to achieving consistent quality with increasingly complex components.
One conversation can lead to a better approach to the next project.
See What’s Next in Composite Manufacturing
Producing a high-quality composite component requires careful decisions long before manufacturing begins. Material selection, fiber orientation, tooling, curing methods, temperature, and pressure can all influence the performance and finish of a final part.
SMI works with customers to navigate these considerations throughout the manufacturing process. Our carbon fiber layup shows how paying attention at every step leads to consistent, repeatable results.
Precision begins long before a part enters an autoclave.
CAMX allows attendees to see how manufacturers across the industry are advancing these processes.
Follow the Composites Industry Trends Shaping Tomorrow
Some of the biggest conversations in composites today center on faster production, greater automation, material efficiency, sustainability, and repeatable quality.
Manufacturers continue to explore ways to reduce waste, improve cure cycles, extend component service life, and integrate more advanced inspection and manufacturing technologies.
CAMX 2026 provides an opportunity to see these developments firsthand. As well as better understand which technologies could have a meaningful impact on future programs.
The future of composites depends on turning innovation into repeatable performance.
