ASC, Australia’s sovereign submarine partner, and shipbuilder Austal have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to advance additive manufacturing (AM) technologies and workforce skills. Announced at the 2025 Indo Pacific International Maritime Exposition in Sydney, the collaboration will enhance Australia’s domestic AM supply chain, supporting production and maintenance for Collins Class and Virginia Class submarines, […]
US-based 3D printer manufacturer 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD) has released its financial results for the third quarter of 2025 (Q3 2025). Revenue for the period reached $91.2 million, decreased 19.2% Y/Y from $112.9 million, and 3.8% Q/Q from $94.8 million. This decline was attributed to the downturn to reduced capital expenditures across industrial and consumer-facing […]
US-based Boise State University researchers are developing a first-of-its-kind 3D printed device aimed at improving the accuracy of biomechanical testing in Boise, Idaho. Supported by the TRANSFORM Seed Grants Program part of the National Science Foundation’s ART award, the team plans to launch the tool commercially next year, advancing the translation of university research into […]
Researchers from the German universities of Heidelberg and Stuttgart have developed a new type of “ink” that enables 3D printing of electrochemically switchable, conducting polymers using a light-based process. This innovation allows so-called redox polymers to be fabricated through digital light processing (DLP), producing complex two- and three-dimensional structures that can be electrochemically manipulated to […]
