Formnext 2024 Recap: KOKONI SOTA, KOKONI ECMax, and KOKONI New Products
November 19–22, 2024—The highly anticipated Formnext 2024, the world’s premier 3D printing trade show, was held in Frankfurt, Germany. As one of the most influential events in the industry, Formnext brought together over 860 leading 3D printing manufacturers, material suppliers, research institutions, and innovative companies from across the globe. For KOKONI, this prestigious event provided an exceptional platform to showcase its latest products and groundbreaking technologies.
KOKONI SOTA: Showcase of Its Mass-Produced Version
During the event, KOKONI proudly unveiled the mass-production version of the revolutionary KOKONI SOTA—the world’s first inverted, multi-color, high-speed 3D printer. The innovative inverted design lowers the printer’s center of gravity, resulting in enhanced stability, reduced noise, and minimized vibrations compared to similar products.
What truly sets KOKONI SOTA apart is its ability to improve retraction control, reduce the need for support materials, and boost printing efficiency. Additionally, it supports dual-color or dual-material printing, making it a versatile and high-speed solution for creators. The live dual-color printing demonstration at CES 2024 had already captured the attention of global audiences, and now, with the printer entering its mass-production phase, KOKONI is taking a significant leap forward in providing professional FDM 3D printers to creators worldwide.

Flexi-Filament Tower: A Game-Changing Multi-Material System
Another highlight of the show was the Flexi-Filament Tower, designed to work seamlessly with KOKONI SOTA and KOKONI ECMax. This innovative system, demonstrated live at the event, allows for multi-color printing in a novel way. Unlike conventional multi-color systems, the Flexi-Filament Tower features a vertical arrangement, with filaments laid horizontally at each level.
This unique design enables users to utilize filaments of varying sizes without being constrained by spool dimensions. Visitors were deeply impressed by this feature, recognizing its potential to expand the applications of KOKONI’s 3D printers and enhance their versatility.
KOKONI ECMax: A Bold Step Into the Future
Formnext 2024 also marked the debut of the KOKONI ECMax, a brand-new 3D printer that combines a futuristic design with the robust CoreXY architecture for high-speed performance. Like the SOTA, the ECMax supports the Flexi-Filament Tower for multi-color printing and integrates seamlessly into KOKONI’s software ecosystem.
The ECMax’s advanced engineering and sleek design underline KOKONI’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of 3D printing technology.
KOKONI EC2: The Perfect Starter 3D Printer
For beginners and hobbyists, KOKONI introduced the KOKONI EC2, a compact desktop 3D printer designed to be the ideal “first 3D printer.” Alongside its predecessor, the EC1, the EC2 requires no complex calibration or setup, making it accessible to users of all ages.
With its intuitive app connectivity and one-click printing functionality, the EC2 inspires creativity and learning, allowing more people to experience the joys of 3D printing.
The Enhanced KOKONI 3D App: A Smarter Printing Experience
KOKONI also unveiled an updated version of its 3D printing app, which now supports a broader range of devices, including the new KOKONI SOTA. The app introduces exciting new features, such as improved 3D scanning and printing capabilities, AI-powered 3D model creation from text input, and diverse printing scenarios.
These advancements significantly enhance user interaction with KOKONI devices, making 3D printing simpler, smarter, and more enjoyable.
Shaping the Future Together
As Formnext 2024 concluded on a high note, KOKONI extended its heartfelt gratitude to all partners and attendees who supported the event. The enthusiastic reception and valuable feedback from visitors have further motivated the company to innovate and contribute to the 3D printing community.
KOKONI remains dedicated to delivering value to its users by developing transformative technologies in desktop 3D printing and AI-powered 3D modeling. Together, let’s shape the future of creativity and innovation!
