We’ve long had a passion at 3DPrint.com for Kirigami shapes, be it in the form of bandages, nano fabrication, or sensors. We also wrote a lot about metamaterials and, more...
One topic that I do my best to stay on top of is the inseparability between rising adoption of metal additive manufacturing (AM) and the growing awareness of a need...
HeyGears was started in 2015 and has been making value-driven Vat Polymerization systems for dental and home use. The company is marketing savvy and very driven. Now the firm has...
We’re kicking things off today with software news, as the new Meshy 7 is now live. Then we’ll move on to business, with ExOne and voxeljet now operating as a...
A new 3D printed stent developed at New York University (NYU) does not look like the devices doctors typically use today. Instead of a simple tube, the prototype resembles a...
The Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) boom was devastating for the additive manufacturing (AM) industry. Peaking in 2021 — and, of course, subsuming companies from industries far beyond AM —...
In this series, we’re looking at the main considerations when designing and implementing a 3D printed product. In this case, we’re using Cathy’s 3D printed brace business as an example....
Germany-based Malping, located in Neuhausen auf den Fildern, is moving into more high performance materials for Material Extrusion. The service operates FGF and FDM high-temperature material printers, and offers parts,...
In my most recent post about RIMPAC, I noted that US military joint exercises appear to be the latest function of the US government to be leveraged by the Trump...
For years, additive manufacturing has promised engineers greater design freedom. The challenge wasn’t printing the part—it was proving the part belonged on an aircraft. Designing a lightweight bracket or consolidating...
ATLANT 3D has launched a new industrial-scale manufacturing system as it works to bring its unusual form of atomic-scale additive manufacturing (AM) into semiconductors, AI materials research, and advanced electronics....
The additive manufacturing (AM) industry has spent the last few years getting a lot more serious about business. Growth, profitability, consolidation, defense spending, supply chains, and scaling production now matter...
When he showed up on Google Meet for our interview, I could see that Philip Pounds, co-founder of Unlayered 3D, was seated shotgun in a moving car. I wasn’t sure...
Schendy Kernizan worked as a professor and researcher before co-founding RLP (Rapid Liquid Print), a company that extrudes silicone into a hydrogel. RLP allows for pure silicone to be made...
Thanks to this LinkedIn Post by Lukas Ziegler, I found out about the Berkeley Humanoid Lite. Now I’ve always been quite skeptical of humanoid robots. Why not just get two...
Fourteen desktop 3D printers spent seven weeks producing the bones of a dinosaur that lived roughly 166 million years ago. The result is now on display at Blenheim Palace in...
We’re starting with defense news in this weekend’s 3D Printing News Briefs, before moving on to polymers for CubeSats and 3D printed prosthetics. We’ll end with a story about engineering...
Every kilogram sent into space comes at a cost. So engineers have spent decades finding ways to make spacecraft lighter. The next frontier will be producing some of the parts...
In 3D printing, key industries include things such as poka-yoke and manufacturing tools like jigs and fixtures. These low-volume tools save money and reduce errors. Refits in things like military...
For metal additive manufacturing (AM) to grow in the United States, companies need more than printers. They also need a reliable supply of the powders that go into those machines....
