APPPEXPO 2017 was a really big show, full of digital printers, media, inks, CNC, cutters, laminators, etc. It was a very complete place where we found samples of traditional signage, 3D lettering, inflatable and honeycomb furniture. Manufacturers and distributors of printers, media, and inks had a variety of samples in each booth.
It was unusual to find only three lonesome 3D printers in the entire show.

We did not notice any in Mutoh, Roland, or Mimaki booth, but often these 3D printers are inside the booth and not visible when people are blocking the view.
HP has not shown 3D printers for more years than I can remember.
Hall 1 (Engraving machinery). This was the place where we found one single company for 3D thermoforming:

Showed big 3D metallic sculptures.
I found a very interesting video with 3D potential: Shenzhen Wikk Technology is manufactured of this hologram application that can display 3D add of 42cm. I thank Vivian for providing all the information on their own application.

Hall 6 (Exhibition furniture, Digital Display & Commercial facility). In this hall, we found mostly companies which manufacturer inflatables, signage, honeycomb and inflatable furniture. Not a hall for cutters, printers or any other digital printing related equipment.
