Dubai-based company Innoventive 3D has released the Vortek, a 3D printed speedboat. The same firm previously made the Cyberfin, reportedly from marine waste. The Vortex looks kind of like it...

They say that good things come in small packages, and that’s certainly the case when it comes to Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF). A leader in micro-precision additive manufacturing, the company...

Bambu Lab has helped Tandem Ventures develop the WHASER, a 3D printed attachment for a drone that can measure whales. This seems like a nifty tool for researchers. It is...

Holcim has announced that a 12-unit residential structure, ViliaSprint² in Bezannes, France, was finished in a year. Nice to see that people seem to be properly building structures rather than...

Researchers at the University of Nottingham are using 3D printing to learn how human cells sense and react to their surroundings. The project focuses on cells involved in healing, like...

The whole 3D printing workflow was on display in Boston at RAPID+TCT last week, from design software and 3D printing hardware all the way to post-processing and finishing solutions. For...

Researchers at Northwestern University have developed 3D printed neurons that can send signals to real brain cells and get a response back. According to the team, the printed structures could...

Previously, I wrote about the disruption of US military power. Since then, events have required a reassessment. The US is clearly in decline, and a death spiral is occurring that...

So far in 2026, the most significant shift in the additive manufacturing (AM) industry is also the subtlest: after years in which various enterprises, organizations, and government agencies have trended...

Rice University researchers have found a way to 3D print using focused microwaves. Published in Science Advances, Professor Yong Lin Kong and his team believe the technology could be used...

In the past few weeks, activity around 3D printed weapons in the U.S. has increased across several fronts. States including California, Colorado, New York, and Washington are moving forward with...
