Stratasys‘ contract manufacturing arm Stratasys Direct has been selected to participate in the U.S. Department of War‘s JAMA IV Pilot Parts Program, a multimillion-dollar initiative to accelerate the validation and deployment of 3D printed components across military platforms. Stratasys already holds Program of Record status with both the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Naval Air…

EOS has bought Austrian powder manufacturer Metalpine. EOS doesn’t buy companies often. And with increased competition from China & SLM, profligate spending doesn’t seem like it would be a good...

The U.S. Army has officially inaugurated a dedicated additive manufacturing facility at Picatinny Arsenal, marking one of its most concentrated investments in 3D printing capability to date. Opened in a ribbon-cutting ceremony on March 19, the Additive Makerspace gives engineers a purpose-built environment to design, prototype, and manufacture components, compressing timelines that traditional supply chains…

For families of children with hearing loss, the cycle is relentless: a new earmold fitted, months of appointments, and then another visit because a child’s ear has grown past it again. The ALLEars project, a large-scale collaboration between Western University and Boys Town National Research Hospital in Nebraska, is setting out to break that cycle…

A nearly 300-year-old gingko tree, believed to be the first of its kind cultivated outside Asia, is about to inspire one of the most architecturally distinctive student housing projects in the Netherlands.  Rotterdam-based Studio RAP has been commissioned to design and 3D print hundreds of custom ceramic tiles for the Gingko Complex in Utrecht, cladding…

Tungsten, niobium, and tantalum, the metals that will define the next generation of energy and defence technology, share a common challenge: they are notoriously difficult to process and largely sourced from geopolitically sensitive regions.  As the UK moves to reduce its dependence on foreign supply chains for strategic materials, Loughborough University is tackling both problems…

3D Printing Industry is preparing a significant upgrade to its website, with a redesigned platform set to launch in the coming weeks. The update follows our earlier reader survey, which gathered feedback on how audiences use the site and where improvements are most needed. Responses highlighted the importance of faster load times, clearer navigation and…
