December didn’t behave like a year-end victory lap. It read more like an audit. The month’s clearest signal was not a new machine or a fresh acronym, but the steady arrival of constraints: production volumes that can be checked, standards that can be enforced, failures that trigger scrutiny, and supply chains that are now treated […]

Shimizu Corporation Develops Spray-Based 3D Concrete Printing System for Large Structural ComponentsJanuary 5

Studio RAP has been using 3D printing and ceramics to create spaces that feel human, calm, and alive. The studio’s approach can be seen in two recent projects, one in...

Happy New Year! We’ve got an abbreviated 3D Printing News Briefs for you today, so we can all enjoy our holiday weekend but still keep up on the industry’s news....

November is when the industry’s centre of gravity becomes difficult to deny. Taken in aggregate, the month is less like a sequence of product announcements and more like a set of institutional decisions about capacity: who gets funded, who gets qualified, which inputs are sovereign, and what “surge” means when supply chains are contested. That […]

In 2025, the best-performing 3D printing stocks weren’t mostly the classic Western printer makers. Some of the strongest performers were digital manufacturing platforms and software-intensive players; these are businesses that...

The industrial metal additive manufacturing world is splitting, with commoditization and lower-cost parts driving the production of millions of components for consumer electronics, machinery, dental, and beyond. Meanwhile, large parts...

Merck Partners with AMCM on 3D Printed Tablet ManufacturingJanuary 2

The US FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has said that it will not certify any new foreign-made drones for use in the US. Models currently on offer in the US can...

October’s most revealing shift did not come from the launch of new machines or a new process. It was the way additive manufacturing started being treated as accountable infrastructure: emissions quantified in annual reports, class-society approval as a gating mechanism, reimbursement rules as demand creation, and software stacks designed to prevent failures rather than explain […]

In the first part of this series, we spoke with Xometry’s Senior Vice President of Marketplace Operations, Mike Cavalieri, about how manufacturers are reshoring, diversifying their suppliers, and building more...

September’s stories read less like a technology cycle and more like a governance cycle. Additive manufacturing shows up as procurement logic, qualification plumbing, and maintenance economics, while the sector’s weaker narratives (roll-up era assets, undifferentiated “industrial AM” side bets, and casual IP assumptions) meet friction. Defence stops “piloting” and starts wiring itself for throughput The […]

Hill Aerospace Museum Uses 3D Printing to Replace Obsolete Aircraft PartsJanuary 1

As the year comes to a close, it’s clear that additive manufacturing (AM) is entering a new phase. Costs are falling, supply chains are changing, government spending is rising, and...

It’s the last 3D Printing News Briefs of the year! On this New Year’s Eve, we’re focusing on Beehive’s completed Frenzy Engine, adaptive slicing for binder jetting, medical 3D printing...

August did not feel like a growth story. It read more like a filter being applied in real time: public markets rewarding business models that can survive regulation and reimbursement; courts and private equity disassembling yesterday’s roll-ups; defense agencies turning “additive” into facilities, supplier pipelines, and field practice; and standards bodies doing the quiet work […]

Beehive Industries Completes High-Altitude Testing of 3D Printed Frenzy EngineDecember 31

For several years, we have seen additive manufacturing software play a more central role in our industry. LPBF machines achieve higher yields and can produce thinner-walled parts thanks to the...

One of the most significant sectors for 3D printing applications is the healthcare field. According to an AM Research report, the 3D printed medical device market is estimated to reach...

The bankruptcy of Roomba contains within it a story of value engineering, relentless innovation by Chinese firms, and a novel segment that became ho-hum. At the same time, robot lawn...
