Maybe you assumed you already hear enough from Joris Peels on 3DPrint.com and the 3DPOD. Well, that’s why you should never assume! The most opinionated man in the AM industry...

Additive manufacturing in dentistry is maturing, but not uniformly. A new study from Additive Manufacturing Research (AMR) charts a market in which low-cost LCD vendors are moving impressive unit volumes while some suppliers still command a disproportionate share of revenue. It’s a two-speed system: diffusion at the desktop, monetisation in the validated stack. Scott Dunham, […]

Researchers at the University of Minnesota and the University of Washington have developed a 3D printing method that replicates the directional mechanics of human tissue, bringing greater realism to medical simulation and surgical training. Human tissues are anisotropic, meaning their stiffness and elasticity vary by direction due to aligned collagen and elastin fibers. Conventional cast […]

Cambridge-based MIT researchers have developed FabObscura, a tool that turns everyday objects into animated displays without electronics. Building on traditional barrier-grid animations, the software supports complex patterns like zigzags, circles, and radials—and the team is now exploring taking these effects into 3D printing to create interactive, sculptural objects. “Our system can turn a seemingly static, […]

Vulcan, a U.S.-based manufacturer of advanced manufacturing systems, has introduced its MX Series, a line of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) metal 3D printers aimed at making industrial additive manufacturing more accessible. With starting prices at $39,000, the MX100 is labeled as one of the most affordable metal 3D printers available, while maintaining industrial-grade performance […]

Your seat at the Additive Manufacturing Advantage awaits! Register today for AMA: Healthcare 2025.  French engine manufacturer Safran Aircraft Engines has installed three CeraFab S65 ceramic 3D printers from ceramic 3D printing specialist Lithoz at its Gennevilliers site near Paris.  The new equipment will produce advanced ceramic casting cores for turbine blades in next-generation aircraft engines. […]

Xact Metal, a metal 3D printing company based in State College, Pennsylvania, reported more than 30 percent order growth in both the second and third quarters of 2025 compared with the same periods in 2024. The company attributes the increase to continued adoption of its powder-bed fusion systems by small and medium-sized manufacturers seeking lower-cost […]

Belgium officially received its first F-35 Lightning II fighter jet during a ceremony at the Jean Offenberg Air Base in Florennes on October 13. The event not only celebrated the...

Just two years after shaking up desktop 3D printing with the P1 Series, Bambu Lab is back with the P2S. The new printer builds on that success but sets an...

The paths to success in additive may appear limited, but this is only because of so much strategic replication and so many copycat businesses. One potentially lucrative path to additive...

In the first part of this look at the general flows of capital into the additive manufacturing (AM) industry in 2025, Vanesa Listek did a masterful job of diagramming the...
