From Lake Constance to Aerospace Innovation: A First Look at Starrag Technology Days 2026

Situated on the shores of the stunning Lake Constance in Rorschach, Switzerland, Starrag Technology Days 2026 has once again brought together aerospace manufacturers, technology specialists and industry experts from around the world.

This week, the MTDCNC team has been on-site exploring the latest developments in aerospace manufacturing, automation and machining technology, capturing exclusive content that will be released over the coming weeks.

Before we dive into the individual technologies, applications and customer stories from the event, we’ve put together a short overview with Lee Scott, who explains what Starrag Technology Days is all about and why it remains such an important event for the aerospace sector.

The aerospace industry continues to face increasing pressure to manufacture components faster, more efficiently and more profitably while maintaining the highest standards of quality and precision. Events like Starrag Technology Days provide a valuable opportunity to see how manufacturers are responding to these challenges through innovation, automation and advanced machining strategies.

Throughout the event, visitors have the opportunity to explore a wide range of live demonstrations and technology stations, each focused on different aspects of aerospace production. From structural aircraft components and landing gear applications to engine parts and advanced automation systems, the event showcases the technologies helping manufacturers remain competitive in an increasingly demanding market.

One of the standout aspects of the event is the emphasis on complete manufacturing solutions. Rather than simply displaying machine tools, Starrag and its partners demonstrate how machines, tooling, software, automation and process expertise work together to improve productivity and maximise performance.

As aircraft production rates continue to increase globally, manufacturers are looking for every opportunity to reduce cycle times, increase machine utilisation and improve process reliability. The technologies on display this week offer a fascinating insight into how these objectives are being achieved.

Over the coming weeks, MTDCNC will be publishing a series of videos, interviews and technical features from Starrag Technology Days 2026. Expect to see machine demonstrations, expert discussions, customer applications and detailed insights into some of the most advanced aerospace manufacturing technologies available today.

This article serves as a first look at what promises to be an exciting collection of content from one of the industry’s most respected technology events.
