Navy Uses 3D Printing to Reduce Helmet Visor Costs by 65 PercentJanuary 9

Making very large parts has always been a problem in manufacturing. Molds are expensive, tooling is slow, and scaling up often means starting over. Perseus Materials was created to change...

For much of additive manufacturing’s history, progress has been constrained by both printing hardware and geometry — often in different ways and at different stages of adoption. Hardware limitations around...

Shimano, a Japanese manufacturer of bicycle components and drivetrain systems, has introduced the Pro Stealth 3D Saddle, a new addition to its Pro Stealth range that incorporates 3D printed padding to manage rider pressure across different riding positions. The saddle uses a multi-density mesh structure developed from pressure-mapping data collected during bike fitments, combined with […]

This article is part of the “Boston’s Additive Edge at Autodesk” series, highlighting projects and research taking shape inside the Autodesk Technology Center in Boston. At the Autodesk Technology Center...

South Korean metal 3D printing manufacturer MetalPrinting has announced the novel GAUSS MT90 metal paste 3D printer at CES 2026. Unlike standard systems using lasers, powder beds, or binder spraying, the MT90 operates with paste based metal extrusion (PME), in which metal powder is formulated into a paste and extruded through a nozzle at room […]

I’m not saying that I invented this or that I’m the first to try this. For many years, people have been filling the infill patterns of material extrusion prints with...

Multiple Navy organizations have joined forces to bolster aircrew protection with a new application of additive manufacturing: a 3D printed version of the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS).  The effort involves the Naval Aviation Training Systems and Ranges Program Office (PMA-205), Naval Education and Training Command (NETC), Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training (CNATT), […]

PyroGenesis,a specialist in ultra-high-temperature processing and plasma-based engineering solutions, has delivered 3.5 tonnes of titanium powder to a U.S.-based minerals and metal technology company under a new supply agreement, using its patented NexGen plasma atomization process. The shipment marks the first in a recurring order arrangement, providing high-quality titanium feedstock to support critical industries—from aerospace […]

America Makes and the National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining (NCDMM) have awarded $1.1 million through the Allied Additive Manufacturing Interoperability (AAMI) Program to establish metal 3D printing equivalency and interoperability between U.S. and U.K. defense supply chains.  Funded by the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering’s Manufacturing Technology […]

Netherlands-based deep science and engineering company Motion Imager has partnered with the Mechanics of Materials and Processing and Performance groups at Eindhoven University of Technology to accelerate volumetric AM from research-stage innovation to scalable production.  The initiative secured significant backing through a competitive selection run by the Materials Innovation Institute and Holland HighTech, which highlighted […]

LLNL and Stanford Develop Faster 3D Nanofabrication Method Using Metalens ArraysJanuary 8

Recently, a host of new machines have come to complement desktop 3D printing over the past few years. From desktop lathes and laser cutters, we are seeing a Deskside Manufacturing...

Korean materials developer Graphy has partnered with US-based FUGO Precision 3D to make Shape Memory Aligner (SMA) manufacturing at scale possible. Graphy’s SMA technology is indeed very innovative. Its Tera...

A new market report from Additive Manufacturing Research (AMR) shows that polymer extrusion 3D printing continues to grow quickly, driven largely by low-cost machines and materials. The report, titled “Polymer...

What if we take a helicopter view of the additive manufacturing market? Beyond silos, technologies, and market segments, what are going to be the most interesting trends, strategies, tactics, technologies,...

Researchers from McGill University Health Centre Research Institute (RI-MUHC) are using virtual reality (VR) and 3D printing to study whether damaged lungs could one day be repaired rather than replaced through transplantation. In one of the institute’s laboratories in Montreal, the team is using VR headsets to examine detailed digital models of lung anatomy, moving […]

Momentus, a U.S.-based provider of in-space transportation and infrastructure services, has completed the development of a 3D printed fuel tank that will undergo flight testing aboard its Vigoride-7 Orbital Service Vehicle. The component was produced in collaboration with Velo3D, a provider of metal additive manufacturing systems. The project demonstrates how additive manufacturing can shorten production […]
