Las Vegas was the place to be last week for those interested in the latest gadgets and innovative technology solutions. This year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) welcomed over 4,000 exhibitors to...
Making very large parts has always been a problem in manufacturing. Molds are expensive, tooling is slow, and scaling up often means starting over. Perseus Materials was created to change...
For much of additive manufacturing’s history, progress has been constrained by both printing hardware and geometry — often in different ways and at different stages of adoption. Hardware limitations around...
This article is part of the “Boston’s Additive Edge at Autodesk” series, highlighting projects and research taking shape inside the Autodesk Technology Center in Boston. At the Autodesk Technology Center...
I’m not saying that I invented this or that I’m the first to try this. For many years, people have been filling the infill patterns of material extrusion prints with...
Recently, a host of new machines have come to complement desktop 3D printing over the past few years. From desktop lathes and laser cutters, we are seeing a Deskside Manufacturing...
Korean materials developer Graphy has partnered with US-based FUGO Precision 3D to make Shape Memory Aligner (SMA) manufacturing at scale possible. Graphy’s SMA technology is indeed very innovative. Its Tera...
A new market report from Additive Manufacturing Research (AMR) shows that polymer extrusion 3D printing continues to grow quickly, driven largely by low-cost machines and materials. The report, titled “Polymer...
What if we take a helicopter view of the additive manufacturing market? Beyond silos, technologies, and market segments, what are going to be the most interesting trends, strategies, tactics, technologies,...
Black Buffalo 3D Corporation has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The U.S. company, known for manufacturing large-scale 3D construction printers and proprietary building materials, has not yet issued a...
2025 is the year that the AM ramp-up by the U.S. Maritime Industrial Base Program (MIB) became common knowledge throughout the industry. But everyone who attended AMS 2024 was already...
The material extrusion market has seen titanic shifts over the past few years. A new bevvy of low-cost 3D printers have turned to software and sensors to make reliable high-speed...
Over the past decade, much of the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) additive manufacturing (AM) strategy has focused on proving that advanced manufacturing could work inside legacy casting environments. Today,...
ADDMAN has purchased Forecast 3D. Private equity-backed ADDMAN has previously bought Keselowski Advanced Manufacturing, Castheon, Dinsmore, and others to become a major player in metal and polymer additive manufacturing. We...
Las Vegas’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026 is officially in session (January 6-9). As desktop 3D printers are arguably as important to the additive manufacturing (AM) industry today as at...
At MMX 2025, Ben DiMarco, Technology Transition Director at America Makes, posed a question that resonated deeply across a room filled with additive manufacturing (AM) experts: “How can we trust...
