Desktop 3D printer manufacturer Bambu Lab published a teaser page for a new product called the A2L, scheduled for reveal on June 1, 2026, at 4 PM CEST. The page includes the tagline “Creative Playground. Extra Large” and the phrase “Stay tuned,” but does not list technical specifications, pricing, or availability. The name places the…
Belgian metal additive manufacturing company AnyShape has been selected as an industrial partner by Airbus Defence and Space for the Eurodrone program. The contract is not a prototype run or a technology demonstration. It covers sustained production volumes over multiple years, under the kind of aerospace-grade quality controls that have historically kept additive manufacturing at…
Voltage Vessels, a Hawaii-based startup founded by Sam Young, has submitted a six-meter 3D printed rigid hull inflatable boat for U.S. maritime defense evaluation, for potential integration into autonomous naval programs. The hull was printed using CEAD’s large-format additive manufacturing system, a Dutch industrial printer used by multiple defense contractors for hull-scale composite production. The…
Airtech Advanced Materials Group and Evergreen Additive have formalized an exclusive supply arrangement to advance large format additive manufacturing (LFAM) in marine and defense contexts. Under the terms of the deal, Airtech will deliver materials, business, and technical guidance to Evergreen, while Evergreen commits to using Airtech products exclusively across all its LFAM work. The…
Researchers Masaru Mukai, Shoji Maruo, and colleagues at Yokohama National University have introduced a photocurable resin that can be printed, melted down, and printed again, more than ten times over, without adding a single chemical along the way. The material, built around the reversible photodimerization of anthracene, could mark a turning point for sustainable high-resolution…
Polish SLS 3D printer manufacturer Sinterit has unveiled BIANCO2, a compact SLS system designed around open material compatibility and broad application flexibility. The announcement builds on over a decade of SLS development and an installed base spanning more than 80 countries. The core proposition of BIANCO2 is its open architecture. Users gain access to up…
Metal complex inks specialist Electroninks has shared the commercial launch timeline for CircuitJet IV, a benchtop system designed to handle PCB fabrication and assembly within a single integrated platform. The company expects it to be available to customers in Q4 2026. The intended user base includes R&D teams, product development groups, universities, and manufacturing facilities…
Israeli 3D printer manufacturer Nano Dimension has agreed to sell its Markforged subsidiary to rival 3D printing company Stratasys in an all-cash deal worth $42.5 million. With this move, the Israeli manufacturer is shedding one of its cash-burning business units as it works through a restructuring plan. The sale is part of a broader divestiture…
Defense and space manufacturing company Snowbird Technologies has been confirmed as a participant in the 30th Rim of the Pacific Exercise (RIMPAC) 2026. The company will take part through the Naval Postgraduate School’s Consortium for Advanced Manufacturing Research and Education (NPS CAMRE) and its distributed advanced manufacturing experiment—one of the exercise’s key technology showcases. Scheduled…
Holcim and British International Investment’s (BII) joint venture 14Trees and Chennai-based Tvasta Manufacturing Solutions have jointly developed Cedar concrete 3D printer designed for large-scale construction deployment. Cedar is designed to work with locally available concrete mixes rather than the proprietary mortar-based materials that many existing 3D concrete printing systems require. The companies say this reduces…
With AMA: Healthcare on June 4th putting 3D printing for healthcare under the spotlight, voices from across the industry are weighing in on where the technology is heading. Tissue models have long been constrained by the same three problems: they take too long to build, they cannot scale meaningfully, and their structure falls short of…
A student team from ETH Zurich‘s Academic Space Initiative Switzerland (ARIS) has successfully ignited a rotating detonation rocket engine (RDRE) using liquid propellants, recording stable detonation waves during a night test at Dübendorf Airfield in Switzerland. The achievement, reached by the 20-strong Pegasus team in early April 2026, places the students in rare company: only…
Hadassah Hospital surgeons have performed what is believed to be the first surgery of its kind in Israel, using two custom 3D printed implants to reconstruct a pelvis and femur almost entirely destroyed by vanishing bone disease, a condition so rare that very few doctors encounter it in an entire career. The patient, a 24-year-old…
MRI coils, the specialised antennas that sit close to the body and capture the radiofrequency signals that become diagnostic images, have long been a bottleneck in clinical imaging. They are rigid, expensive, and built to a one-size-fits-all standard that works reasonably well for adults but poorly for children, infants, and anyone requiring imaging of moving…
Backed by a newly awarded National Science Foundation grant, researchers at the University of North Florida are developing an automated monitoring system that detects and corrects defects in metal 3D printing layer by layer, in real time. Dr. Longfei Zhou, assistant professor of advanced manufacturing engineering, is leading the project alongside a team of undergraduate…
3D printing in healthcare is advancing faster than the legal frameworks built to govern it, and the gap is wider than most people realize. Dr. Modupe B. Adewale has spent her PhD at RMIT University’s College of Business and Law thinking about a question that most legal scholars have not yet got around to: when…
As the industry prepares for AMA: Healthcare on June 4th, few material challenges in 3D printing healthcare have proven as persistent as silicone. Too liquid to stack, too chemically sensitive to alter, and too regulated to compromise, it has long resisted conventional printing approaches. Elastomeric AM solution provider Lynxter has spent nearly a decade working…
A social housing development in Bezannes, France has set a new benchmark for 3D construction printing in Europe. The project, called ViliaSprint², delivers 12 apartments across three floors and roughly 800 square meters of livable space, making it the continent’s largest 3D printed multi-family residential building to date. The structure was brought to life through…
Sutton Barcelona has become the first nightclub in the world to undergo a full renovation using concrete 3D printing. The project was completed in seven weeks, a timeline that would typically span around five months under conventional construction methods. The refurbishment was carried out by construction firm Construnext in partnership with Aridditive, combining off-site digital…
Israeli manufacturer Modix Modular Technologies has expanded its industrial printer range with the MAMA-1000, a large-format machine built around a one cubic meter build volume. The new model slots below the existing MAMA-1700 in the company’s lineup, targeting manufacturers, research institutions, and fabrication teams that need industrial-grade capability without committing to the larger platform’s footprint.…
