egistration for the Engineering Design Show, taking place this October, is now open. Here, visitors will be able to see 220+
exhibitors spanning product design, 3D printing, embedded systems, PCB manufacturing, motors, sensors, robotics and more. Headline sponsors Würth Elektronik and
Solsta highlight the breadth of expertise on offer. Würth Elektronik continues to expand its global reach with a comprehensive portfolio, including the recently added IQD Frequency products, alongside full design-in support and delivery. Solsta, formerly Solid State Supplies, focuses on semiconductors, embedded modules, communications, power management, LED lighting, relays, switches and optoelectronics, offering both technical guidance and commercial support. Visitors will also be able to explore products
from suppliers including Maxon Motor, Telonic Instruments, Yokogawa Test & Measurement,
Peli Products, Hitek Electronic Materials, TTI, Robafoam, Smallfry Industrial Design and The Peak Group, reflecting the wide breadth of industries represented at EDS.
The EDS exhibition floor will once again showcase engineering creativity. A highlight will be the Dynium Robot, an autonomous agricultural vehicle designed for precision tasks in environments such as orchards and polytunnels. With OxDrive’s compact, high-torque electric hubs, it demonstrates the potential of smart robotics to enhance productivity in off-highway applications. KUKA Robotics will present its next-generation
range of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs). From flexible AMRs to fleet management software and no-code programming tools, the company will reveal how advanced automation can be integrated into existing operations. Visitors looking for something competitive can
try the Rollapaluza cycling challenge, supplied by Modnyco. Using rigs fitted with Condor track bikes, participants race head-to-head in high-speed sprints, with progress tracked on a giant display, and prizes to be won! The show will once again feature the Nottingham Trent University (NTU) student showcase, giving the next generation of product designers a platform to present their work. In addition, a notable return this year is Joshua Dennis, who first appeared at the NTU student showcase and now brings his business, Dennistries, to the Innovation Zone. He will unveil the NextGen line of humanoid robots, including the newly announced NextGen LEO. Also within the Innovation Zone, Creative
Hubb will showcase its bomb disposal suit, demonstrating how innovative textiles and engineering can create life-saving protective equipment. These live experiences capture the spirit of
EDS, celebrating creativity from heavy-duty robotics to human-focused design. Visitors can see the technologies up close, meet the teams behind them, and experience the engineering breakthroughs shaping the future.
The 2025 conference programme is tailored for design engineers across all market sectors. From aerospace and automotive to electronics and consumer products, it delivers insights and practical knowledge for real-world challenges. Attendees will hear case studies on transformative technologies such as Artificial Intelligence
54
and Quantum Computing. Sessions will also provide strategies for embedding sustainability into product development, expert guidance on patent protection, and career-focused insights on skills for the next generation of design challenges. Alongside keynote talks, the programme
will feature panel debates, interactive Q&A sessions, and more. Highlights include:
• Don’t Forget Me! A human-centred approach to simulation and digital twins – Claire Palmer, Loughborough University.
• Breaking the Reactive Cycle: Strategic Approaches to Component Obsolescence Management – Dunstan Power, CEO, ByteSnap Design.
• Panel discussions hosted by Angela Lamont on supply chain resilience, security, and career opportunities in defence.
• Pass EMC the First Time: Design It Right, From the Start – Min Zhang and Telonic.
New for 2025, EDS will debut a Work in Defence feature, delivered in partnership with The Engineer. With the UK defence sector facing an urgent need to attract skilled professionals with transferable expertise, this initiative will provide a dedicated platform for connection and collaboration. Attendees will have the chance to meet
leading defence organisations and take part in the Work in Defence Roundtable exploring opportunities, skills pathways and career routes into this vital sector. Hands-on learning remains a core feature of
EDS, with practical workshops running across two dedicated theatres. These sessions will equip engineers with new tools, techniques and fresh thinking to apply back at the design bench. Networking is supported in the Chill &
Charge Zone, a relaxed environment to recharge, catch up with colleagues or reset before diving back into the action. Registration to attend is free and can be
carried out via the website.
