Justin Bieber Launches 3D Printed Sneakers Through Skylrk Brand Partnership with ZellerfeldDecember 16

Snapmaker, Chinese manufacturer of multifunctional 3D printers, has raised “tens of millions” in a Series B funding round co-led by major investment firm Hillhouse Ventures and Chinese technology company Meituan, with the investment intended to accelerate core technology R&D, global talent acquisition, and the expansion of its 3D printing ecosystem as the company prepares for […]

According to the World Economic Forum, Europe depends on China for 98% of its highest-performance magnets. If China stopped exports tomorrow, the continent’s wind turbines, EV motors, and defence systems would grind to a halt. MagNEO believes 3D printing can change that. These critical magnets, typically made from rare earth elements (REEs) like neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB), […]

Researchers at the U.S. private research universities Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts and Northwestern University in Illinois have developed a method for producing small, biodegradable tubular scaffolds using 3D printing. The scaffolds feature microscopic grooves and channels designed to guide cell growth, with the goal of supporting the regeneration of functional blood vessels. “I’m really […]

Hek Lab, a footwear-focused design studio working with additive manufacturing, has unveiled the EDDY model, a 3D printed shoe created specifically for everyday wear. The project responds to ongoing hesitation among consumers toward 3D printed footwear, which is often linked to unfamiliar materials, elevated pricing, long production timelines, and experimental aesthetics. Developed in collaboration with […]
