Across several universities in the U.S., more programs are adding hands-on learning into how they teach, often using tools like 3D printing. Instead of relying only on lectures and theory,...
In this weekend’s 3D Printing News Briefs, we’ll start off with a multi-laser metal powder bed fusion 3D printer and post-processing news. We’ll end with research into soft robotics and...
Applications are where it’s at in the additive manufacturing (AM) industry. At the recent RAPID+TCT in Boston, I met with a few companies to learn about some of their very...
When we previously looked at the Additive Chicken Coop, we saw how selling devices to labs shaped a lot of our industry. Here, we explore other key factors that have...
Drones have changed everything. Case in point: with the aim of preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, the US and Israel initiate airstrikes on the Gulf nation. A couple...
Belgian firm Amnovis is a scalable partner for orthopedic innovations. From design to production and regulatory, you can rely on them to take your innovation to market. Coupled with deep...
In today’s 3D Printing News Briefs, we’ll start with Makelab’s new website, and move on to commercialization of support-free metal 3D printing in South Korea. We’ll end with drug delivery...
A new factory in North Lincolnshire will use robots to 3D print concrete parts for construction when it opens next June. The facility will focus on producing components like foundations...
Last year, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced a ban on certain components sourced from foreign suppliers, including Chinese firms, used in unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Meanwhile, the FY...
3D printing is no longer new. In fact, most manufacturers already know what it is, where it fits, and what it can do. But knowing the technology and actually scaling...
Skuld will work on the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) Rubble to Rockets (R2R) Program, which turns scrap metal into missile components. Skuld will help with alloy design, characterization, and...
As I wrote about earlier this month, the Trump administration has requested a record $1.5 trillion in Department of Defense (DoD) funding for FY 2027. In my post about what...
Cantor Fitzgerald is showing up across two advanced manufacturing deals at the same time, acting as sole book-runner on a $50 million stock raise by Velo3D and also involved in...
When your work involves a technological field, like additive manufacturing (AM), which still flies under the radar for most people, it can often feel like what you do every day...
Align has built a multi-billion-dollar business out of 3D printed thermoforming inserts that are used for silicone clear aligners that gradually align your teeth. That model has been copied by...
The need for replacement parts that are in limited production—or out of production altogether—will always be a demand catalyst for additive manufacturing (AM). Unless the entire global economy at some...
Astrobotic has completed a series of hot-fire tests for its Chakram rotating detonation rocket engine, with additive manufacturing (AM) playing an important role in how the engine was built. The...
Pull up the print stats on multi-color FDM jobs. The number that stings isn’t time; it’s material efficiency. On six-color models, single-nozzle systems consume significant filament during transition flushing, expelling...
Aside from a quick mention in an episode of our Printing Money podcast, I didn’t know much about Mastrex. But when I heard that the company had developed a $39,000...
