Spider-Like Robot Combines 3D Printing and Construction for Earth and Lunar ApplicationsOctober 8

A Tulsa, Oklahoma, man has been charged after allegedly attempting to supply 3D printed firearm components to an individual he believed was acting on behalf of al-Qaida, according to a criminal complaint unsealed on September 24. Andrew Scott Hastings, 25, faces federal charges for attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization […]

Researchers at Northwestern University and Case Western Reserve University have unveiled a digital twin framework designed to optimize laser-directed energy deposition (DED) using machine learning and Bayesian optimization. The system integrates a Bayesian Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network for predictive thermal modeling with a new algorithm for process optimization, establishing one of the most […]

For nearly a decade, the 3D Printing Industry Awards have recognised the people, companies, and technologies shaping the additive manufacturing (AM) ecosystem. Voted on by thousands of professionals from across the world, the Awards celebrate achievement and innovation across more than 20 categories, from hardware, software, and materials, to applications in aerospace, medical, automotive, and […]

Vittori is said to be a new Hypercar company. The company has just teased a prototype of its car, designed by Pininfarina. Vittori was founded by Carlos Cruz. Cruz is...

Additive manufacturing is redefining what’s possible in medicine, from custom implants and bioprinted tissues to agile hospital production networks. As healthcare systems face pressure to do more with less, 3D printing is emerging not just as a tool for innovation, but as an infrastructure for resilience. Our online event AMA: Healthcare 2025 brings together the […]

In 2010, the nonprofit engineering consultancy EWI, based in Columbus, Ohio, established the Additive Manufacturing Consortium (AMC), an organization that today includes over 50 members globally, from academic institutions to...

Researchers at the University of Maryland have demonstrated that nanoscale 3D printing can be used to fabricate high-aspect-ratio microneedles that eliminate clogging during embryo microinjection. The results, published in Nature Communications, show that additive manufacturing via two-photon laser writing enables precise, monolithic needle designs that outperform both conventional glass needles and printed controls in serial […]

In the race to build the future of spaceflight, first milestones have big meaning. For Portal Space Systems, a young spacecraft company based in Washington, that milestone arrived this September...

Australian robotics engineering startup Crest Robotics and Earthbuilt Technology have developed a semi-autonomous robot named Charlotte that blends robotics and 3D printing to build structures directly from raw materials.  The developers say it is designed to speed up construction, lower costs, and reduce the carbon footprint associated with traditional building methods. A prototype of Charlotte […]

American titanium manufacturer IperionX has received an additional $25 million from the US Department of War (DoW) to scale its efforts to rebuild a domestic titanium supply chain in the country. Issued through the Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) program, the latest funding lifts total government obligations under the company’s $47.1 million contract to […]

DEEP Manufacturing, a company specializing in large-scale additive manufacturing (AM), has received full Approval of Manufacture (AoM) from classification society DNV.  This builds on DEEP Manufacturing’s earlier Approval in Principle (AiP) from DNV Maritime. The approval covers Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) production for pressure vessels, pressure vessels for human occupancy, and hull structures and […]

INDO-MIM, one of the world’s largest metal injection molding (MIM) manufacturers, has filed to go public in India. The India-based company plans to raise up to $113 million (₹1,000 crore)...

MIT researchers have unveiled a new way to turn everyday objects into animated displays, no electronics required. A team at the university’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has...

Patients want comfort and mobility while labs want safety and reliability, so why are materials still letting both sides down? The result is a cycle of discomfort, early failures, and costly inefficiencies that frustrate both patients and practitioners. That is where Filaflex steps in. Instead of asking clinicians to choose between safety, durability, and flexibility, […]

Alexander Oster has done an episode with us before, five years ago. There, we learned about his early start in 3D printing and his work thus far. Now we talk...

American multinational automaker Ford’s 2025 Mustang GTD has become the first U.S. car to complete a sub-seven-minute lap at the Nürburgring, recording a time of 6:57.685. The achievement was enabled by real-time engineering adjustments and the integration of 3D printed components during testing. Chief Program Engineer Greg Goodall told The Drive that the team developed […]
