Chinese 3D printing developer Addireen Technologies has introduced the XH-M400G, a four-laser coordinated metal additive manufacturing (AM) system designed for high-precision production. With a 400 × 400 × 400 mm build volume and an adjustable 20–40 μm laser spot size, the machine supports continuous 24/7 operation and can produce complex features, such as micro-channels, in […]

German fluid-dynamic metrology device developer Vectoflow announced it has raised additional financing, with existing investors Bayern Kapital, WN Invest, and AM Ventures contributing again to support the company’s growth. The new funding will be used to expand series production of its 3D printed flow probes and to pursue certifications required for safety-critical aerospace applications, including […]

Tissium, a Paris-based medical technology company founded on MIT research, has secured De Novo marketing authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its non-traumatic peripheral nerve repair platform. The clearance enables commercialization of its first product, which uses a flexible, biocompatible polymer that bonds to wet tissue when activated by blue light. In […]

Dandy wants to do for dental labs what modern factories did for smartphones: make high-quality products, fast, at scale, without losing the custom fit patients need. In an interview with...

Researchers at the National Cancer Center, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College in Beijing have reported the use of 3D printing to assist in the treatment of skull base tumors. Their study, published on Springer Nature, describes how five patient-specific anatomical models improved surgical planning, guided endoscopic simulations, and provided educational […]

Peter Rogers is Australian but has worked in Japan since 2009. He has held roles at a Japanese 3D Printing firm, at Velo3D, and at Autodesk. Today, he consults for...

Researchers from Shenzhen Technology University have published a review highlighting how 3D printing could accelerate the development of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs), a promising alternative to lithium-ion systems. The paper, Recent Progress on the Research of 3D Printing in Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries, was published in Polymers on August 4, 2025. Join AM leaders and vertical […]

There has been a new twist in the Stratasys vs Bambu Lab lawsuit. Bambu Lab, a leading manufacturer of desktop FFF 3D printers, has challenged the validity of Stratasys’ patents before the US Patent and Trademark Office’s (USPTO) Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), opening a new front in the ongoing legal battle. Shenzhen Tuozhu, […]

Navy Maintenance Center Uses 3D Printing to Replace Destroyer Pump Component at Fraction of Conventional CostSeptember 1

Researchers from the Technical University of Darmstadt and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have achieved a significant breakthrough in flexible energy harvesting by developing fully screen-printed 3D thermoelectric generators (TEGs) with a 3D multi-layer architecture, capable of milliwatt-scale power output. Their work, published in Energy & Environmental Science, demonstrates a scalable additive manufacturing process […]

A new method for metal 3D printing that avoids melting and sharply reduces power consumption has been demonstrated by Reverb Industrial, a California-based developer of advanced manufacturing technologies, in collaboration with Arizona State University. The research, published in MDPI, shows that Resonance-Assisted Deposition (RAD) can fabricate dense aluminum alloy components at machine power levels of […]

Firehawk Aerospace, a manufacturer of advanced energetics systems for defense, has successfully completed the first flight test of its AM GMLRS-class Firehawk Analog (GFA), a 3D printed hybrid rocket engine system. This demonstration highlights the company’s capability to produce hybrid propulsion systems additively, as part of its ongoing Phase III SBIR contract with the Army […]

National additive manufacturing accelerator America Makes and the National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining (NCDMM) have announced a new open project call, funded by the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, with total funding of $450,000.  The initiative, Affordable and Agile Composite Additive Manufactured Structures (AACAMS), is intended to develop comprehensive roadmaps […]

Foundation Alloy, an MIT spinout, has announced Molyclast, a new line of molybdenum alloys developed through its proprietary MetalsFIRST technology. According to the company, Molyclast alloys feature grains 100 times finer than existing alternatives and isotropic properties. The MetalsFIRST approach is described as eliminating extensive post-processing, hazardous hydrogen gas, and contamination risks found in conventional […]
