The leap to industrial-scale 3D printing is a support problem, not a hardware problem. A 3D print farm is a centralized facility that uses a large number of 3D printers...
Protolabs (NYSE: PRLB) ended 2025 with overall revenue down slightly year over year, but its digital manufacturing and 3D printing services continued to grow. For the quarter ending in December,...
Reshoring manufacturing in the U.S. is a stated national priority. Policymakers, industry leaders, and defense planners agree that domestic production capacity is essential for economic resilience, national security, and long-term...
Two of the biggest growth opportunity areas for the additive manufacturing (AM) industry that 3DPrint.com and AM Research have long been keeping an eye on are sports and medical devices....
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,...
