Rutgers Researchers Develop AI Systems to Improve 3D Printing Reliability and Speed Manufacturing InnovationDecember 30

July did not only feature more defence stories than usual, this month’s headlines showed additive manufacturing being selected for the jobs that matter in wartime production: rapid iteration, local substitution, and tolerable failure modes. The month’s most jarring signal was the British Army using a Bambu Lab printer to produce FPV attack drones during an […]

2025 was a year of change for 3D printing, with much of the year’s activity coming from mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, and company exits. Together, these moves indicate a broader shift:...

If you ask most people what’s holding back 3D printing in aerospace, they usually think the answer is better hardware; mainly faster machines, bigger build chambers, and tighter process control....

In this episode of the 3DPOD, Founder and Managing Director of ModuleWorks, Dr. Yavuz Murtezaoglu, joins the conversation to talk about the often less visible role of CAD/CAM software in...

TU/e Partners with Motion Imager on Volumetric 3D Printing for Complex ManufacturingDecember 29

June did not deliver a single headline-grabbing machine launch or miracle material. It delivered something more consequential: the slow, institutional work that turns a capability into infrastructure. Policy documents named additive explicitly, standards bodies backed file formats, and qualification timelines became a defence problem rather than a quality manager’s headache. If your additive strategy still […]

Last week was Christmas, and in just a few days, it will be New Year’s Eve, and then New Year’s Day. 2025 will end, and 2026 will begin. Out with...

In this holiday weekend’s 3D Printing News Briefs, the focus is entirely on additive construction! We’ll start with news out of North America, specifically Canada and the United States, and...

2025 was a year of milestones and experimentation in additive manufacturing (AM), marked not only by technical progress but also by the mergers, acquisitions, and restructurings that reshaped the industry,...

Nagoya University Develops Heat-Resistant Aluminum Alloys Using Metal 3D PrintingDecember 26

Anycubic Introduces Kobra X High Speed Multi Color 3D Printer with Early Bird CampaignDecember 26

May 2025 reinforced a central theme in additive manufacturing: institutionalization. Unlike months focused on new hardware or breakthrough materials, May’s dominant stories revolved around who controls the stack, who certifies parts, and where long-term capital is being deployed. As a result, additive manufacturing increasingly appears with increasing frequency as a critical industrial infrastructure, embedded in […]

When Xometry released the topline results of its new Manufacturing Outlook Report, the data showed just how much pressure manufacturers feel heading into 2026. Costs are rising, reshoring is accelerating,...

Stratasys Partners with Novineer to Integrate Simulation Software into GrabCAD Print ProDecember 25

April 2025 marked a turning point for additive manufacturing. The month brought the symbolic end of the SPAC-era startups, with Nano Dimension consolidating Desktop Metal and Markforged, signaling the close of the second generation of public AM ventures. At the same time, industry data revealed a split reality. CONTEXT reported an 11% drop in metal […]

In this Christmas Eve edition of 3D Printing News Briefs, we’re sharing joy and good news, starting with Nanoscribe’s exciting machine milestone! Moving on, New York’s governor is investing $32...

The 3D Printing Industry Year in Review continues with March taking clearer shape around how additive manufacturing was being assessed.  Progress surfaced where AM met formal thresholds, whether through regulatory approval, safety-critical integration, or balance-sheet scrutiny. These signals carried more weight than isolated installations or machine launches, reflecting how maturity was judged inside industrial systems. […]

Disney Partners with 3D Printing Startup to Create PropsDecember 24

Erik Boelen and his firm, QasE3D, are quality management consultants to the 3D printing industry. He partnered with Waveland European Lawyers to create a simple tool to help companies stay...
