While expanding its size, the organizer also is dedicated to developing CHINAPLAS as a technology-oriented show with a focus on key topics of "Intelligent Manufacturing", "High-tech Materials" and "Green Solutions". This matches up well with the key development directions of the plastics processing industry set under the China's 13th Five-Year Plan, including developing multi-functional, high-tech materials and additives, accelerating the market share of high-end products, speed up research and development of plastics equipment as well as green, energy saving and high efficiency new processing technologies. 

Besides the conference, CHINAPLAS 2017 also will present a "Smart Manufacturing Technology Zone" on the show floor to showcase solutions for industrial automation. A wealth of cutting-edge exhibits will be presented to demonstrate the innovative results and progress toward smart manufacturing. Apart from the robotics, factory automation systems and components that were featured in the last edition of CHINAPLAS, visitors will have a chance to witness a smart production line and smart factory solutions from leading suppliers, including Bosch Rexroth, Siemens and Demark. There also will be a sub-zone called the "3D Technology Zone" set up in the "Smart Manufacturing Technology Zone". The sub-zone will bring together well-known companies in the field of 3D printing technology, including 3D software system supplier Autodesk from the USA, 3D printer and application solution suppliers Cangming and Ureal, and 3D printing consumables supplier Renolit.
