Hybrid manufacturing platform demonstrates how innovation can simplify production while opening new opportunities for complex part design.
St. Paul, MN (July 6, 2026) – Matsuura Machinery USA will feature the LUMEX Avance-25 at IMTS 2026 in Booth #338630, highlighting how manufacturers are redefining what is possible through the integration of additive manufacturing and precision machining.
As part of Matsuura’s Precision with Purpose campaign, the LUMEX Avance-25 represents a commitment to helping manufacturers solve challenges that traditional manufacturing methods alone may struggle to address. By combining metal additive manufacturing and machining within a single platform, the system provides a practical approach to producing highly complex components while reducing the need for multiple production steps.
For manufacturers exploring new ways to improve efficiency, consolidate operations, and increase design freedom, the LUMEX Avance-25 offers a different perspective on production. It is a technology developed not simply to introduce new capabilities, but to help manufacturers approach difficult applications with greater confidence and flexibility.
“The conversation around manufacturing continues to evolve,” said Ryan Myers, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Matsuura Machinery USA. “Customers are looking for practical ways to simplify production while taking on increasingly complex work. The LUMEX Avance-25 demonstrates how additive and subtractive manufacturing can work together to support those goals.”
Visitors to IMTS will have the opportunity to learn how manufacturers are using hybrid manufacturing technology to address applications ranging from complex tooling to highly engineered components where conventional production methods may create limitations.
The LUMEX Avance-25 reflects the broader philosophy behind Precision with Purpose. For Matsuura, innovation is not about pursuing technology for its own sake. It is about delivering solutions that help manufacturers overcome challenges, improve processes, and create new opportunities for growth.
“Purpose begins with understanding the problems manufacturers are trying to solve,” Myers added. “The LUMEX Avance-25 is a strong example of how technology can help remove barriers and create opportunities that did not previously exist.”
Attendees can experience the LUMEX Avance-25 and learn more about Matsuura’s additive manufacturing capabilities at IMTS 2026.

Visitors to Matsuura’s booth will experience the world-class machining and automation technologies that have made Matsuura a trusted partner for manufacturers worldwide. They will see the precision, productivity, and performance our customers have come to expect.
They will also see something that represents a deeper purpose.
“This year’s initiative is personal,” said Billy Bogue, President of Matsuura USA. “It reflects something we’ve believed for a long time. Precision is about more than what happens inside a machine. It’s about the impact we choose to make with the capabilities we’ve been given.”
It brings together the values that have guided Matsuura for generations: innovation, commitment, excellence, and service.
Behind every component, every program, and every production schedule are individuals, families, and communities whose lives are connected by the work we do.
“Manufacturing has the power to move industries forward,” Bogue added. “But it also has the power to bring people together around something bigger than business. That’s what makes Precision with Purpose so meaningful for us.”
Join us at IMTS 2026 and discover how Matsuura is bringing Precision with Purpose to life.
Because sometimes the most meaningful advancements are not measured in microns. They’re measured by the difference they make.
