Thingiverse is to be acquired by MyMiniFactory. Ultimaker has sold long-neglected Thingiverse to UK-based MyMiniFactory, which also owns former Ultimaker platform YouMagine, resin/character-driven platform and slicer SoulCrafted, as well as...
Metal manufacturing still carries the layout and logic of an older industrial age. Most factories run as a collection of isolated disciplines, each with its own equipment, staff, and data....
For decades, the early stages of manufacturing have been defined by a simple, frustrating trade-off: you can have it precise, or you can have it fast. AI just broke that...
StoneFlower 3D has launched a new 3D printer designed for laboratory-scale research and development with concrete, mortars, clays, and other advanced mineral materials. The system is intended for researchers, designers,...
Researchers from Waseda University, the University of Tokyo, the University of Tokyo Hospital, Southeast University, and the South China University of Technology have worked together on developing low-temperature 3D printed...
Sugino Machine Ltd has recently completed development of a highly specialized surface-finishing technology capable of removing partially melted particles, debris, and alpha case left behind by additive-manufactured (AM) laser powder...
Since the beginning of the decade, it seems like at least once a year, there will be a story about VC funds pouring money into some previously unknown startup that...
The annual Military Additive Manufacturing Summit & Technology Showcase (MILAM 2026) once again brought together the defense sector’s top technologists, military leaders, and additive manufacturing (AM) innovators for three days...
Hardware is rapidly commoditizing across additive manufacturing. Specifications have converged. Price competition has intensified. Margins have compressed. For companies attempting to scale additive manufacturing beyond prototyping, this shift has profound...
Uptool has come out of stealth mode. The company has raised $6 million from prominent investors and hopes to become an indispensable tool for manufacturing. For now uptool is providing...
The VC shift towards increased funding in geopolitical bottlenecks looks less and less like a fleeting fad and more like a tectonic shift in where global investment dollars are placing...
Discover how patient-customized 3D printed devices like Stentra™ significantly reduce high toxicity-related treatment costs and improve workflow efficiencies to handle more cases more effectively overtime. Introduction: The Economic Paradox in...
I think it’s safe to say that post-processing is no longer considered the “dirty little secret” of 3D printing that it once was, with users realizing that finishing is just...
Silicon carbide is not a material problem—it’s a manufacturing one. Silicon carbide (SiC) has become a critical material across semiconductors, aerospace, energy, and defense. Its exceptional thermal stability, chemical resistance,...
For the summer Olympics, we are well aware of the extensive 3D printing that goes on in service of track cyclists, road cyclists, and runners. In athletics, custom 3D printed...
As the additive manufacturing industry continues its rapid global evolution, one theme has risen to the top of strategic conversations: the importance of strengthening domestic production to support national competitiveness...
Researchers at the U.S. Army DEVCOM Soldier Center have looked at soldiers’ perceptions of 3D printed food. In an article published in the journal Future Foods, Jonathan Blutinger, Alan Wright,...
Global supply chains are being re-written. After decades of globalisation driven primarily by cost efficiency, geopolitical tensions, trade disputes and pandemic-era disruptions have exposed the risks of concentrating manufacturing and...
Alastair Jennings has been reviewing cameras for a very long time. A chance digression led him to review one of the first RepRap 3D printers. Since then, Alastair has reviewed...
Recently, Metalysis, Skyrora, and Thermo-Calc Solutions started to try to commercialize Tanbium. This alloy has been created for use in combustion chambers and rocket nozzles. Tanbium is a Refractory Complex...
