Industrial DTG. Reimagined. aeoon at PRINTING United Expo 09.2026
Why the Future of Textile Manufacturing Starts with Smarter Production. From September 23–25, the global print industry will gather in Las Vegas for PRINTING United Expo 2026—one of the world's most influential events for printing technologies and industrial innovation. For aeoon, this year's exhibition is more than another trade show. It marks the beginning of a new conversation about the future of industrial textile production.
Manufacturing Is Changing
Textile manufacturers are operating in an environment that looks very different from just a few years ago.
Labor shortages continue to challenge production planning. Operating costs are rising. Production space has become increasingly valuable, while customers expect faster turnaround times, shorter production runs, and greater product variety.
- Success is no longer defined simply by producing more.
It's defined by producing smarter.
The manufacturers who will lead the next decade won't necessarily have the biggest production facilities. They will have the most efficient ones.
A Different Way to Think About Production
For many years, industrial printing focused on increasing speed.
Today, manufacturers are looking beyond speed alone.
They want production systems that optimize workflows, reduce complexity, improve efficiency, and create flexibility for future growth.
Technology should adapt to production—not force production to adapt to technology. This philosophy has guided aeoon's engineering approach from the very beginning.
Every solution we develop starts with one question: How can we help manufacturers build a smarter production environment?
Meet the Compact Ai1
At PRINTING United Expo 2026, visitors will experience the Compact Ai1—our industrial DTG platform developed around today's production realities.
Instead of requiring additional floor space or more complex workflows, the Compact Ai1 focuses on making existing production more efficient.
Its compact footprint helps manufacturers maximize available production space. A streamlined workflow enables efficient operation by a single operator, while aeoon's Wet-on-Dry technology helps reduce drying requirements and energy consumption.
The ability to print on both cotton and polyester on a single platform gives manufacturers the flexibility to respond to changing market demands without increasing production complexity.
Every feature has one purpose: Helping manufacturers produce more efficiently.
More Than One Innovation
The Compact Ai1 is only part of what visitors will discover in Las Vegas.
PRINTING United Expo 2026 will also be the stage for the introduction of a brand-new aeoon industrial platform. Developed to deliver even higher productivity and an expanded color gamut, this new solution represents the next step in aeoon's commitment to industrial textile production.
More details will be revealed during the show.
Experience aeoon
Whether you're planning your next investment, optimizing an existing production line, or exploring new industrial applications, we invite you to experience aeoon firsthand.
If you can't attend the show, we'll be happy to welcome you to the aeoon Innovation Center in Austria, arrange a private demonstration at our U.S. headquarters, or schedule a live online demonstration after the event.
Because the future of industrial DTG isn't just about new machines. It's about creating smarter production. Industrial DTG. Reimagined.
