China’s industrial strength is built on millions of small and mid-sized manufacturers supplying precision parts to sectors from robotics and aerospace to automotive and medical devices. Many operate advanced AM systems, hold ISO certifications, and bring decades of expertise, yet remain largely invisible to overseas buyers without the digital presence or networks needed to compete […]

3D scanner manufacturer 3DMakerpro is launching the Toucan, a cable-free, all-in-one 3D scanner designed to make professional-grade scanning accessible to everyone—from hobbyists capturing intricate figurines to designers and artists working on life-sized sculptures. With its dual-module system, 8K color textures, and fully integrated JMStudio software, the Toucan delivers high precision, versatility, and convenience.  “From desktop […]

Ford has revealed that 3D-printed aerodynamic components played a crucial role in the performance of the 2025 Mustang GTD during testing at Germany’s Nürburgring. Speaking about the program, Greg Goodall, Mustang GTD’s Chief Program Engineer, said the team relied on additive manufacturing to quickly produce and refine small aero parts known as “hood flicks.” On-the-fly […]

WASP, an Italian manufacturer of large-scale 3D printing systems, has launched the CUBO HDP, a pellet-based 3D printer for sustainable manufacturing, at AAPA Expo Europe 2025 in Barcelona. The new system was introduced at the tradeshow, which runs from September 23–25 at Fira Barcelona Gran Via (Hall 2, Stand B-115). CUBO HDP offers a 120 […]

A UK-led consortium has launched the Digitally Enabled Efficient Propeller (D.E.E.P) project, an initiative that combines additive manufacturing (AM) and digital twin technology to create smart marine propellers capable of monitoring their own performance. Backed by the United Kingdom’s national innovation agency Innovate UK through the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition (CMDC6), the program has secured […]

U.S. DOE national science laboratory Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has been testing DuAlumin-3D, a new aluminum alloy, for use in high-temperature automotive components, showing its potential applications in additive manufacturing. The research indicated that DuAlumin-3D performs better than some conventional aluminum alloys, which are prone to cracking during laser powder bed fusion, while maintaining […]

Additive manufacturing (AM) companies continue to demonstrate success at moving beyond R&D-centered, prototyping applications and one-offs, towards higher production volumes for end-use parts. Yet to keep that momentum going in...

The automotive industry is at a turning point. Electrification, digitalization, and sustainability pressures are transforming the design, manufacturing, and delivery of vehicles. Additive manufacturing sits at the center of this transformation, offering flexibility in supply chains, enabling lighter and more efficient components, and unlocking new levels of customization. Our online event, AMA: Automotive and Mobility, […]

Engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have conducted one of the first systematic studies of how interface strategies shape part quality in hybrid additive manufacturing that combines wire- and powder-based directed energy deposition (DED). The research, published in npj Advanced Manufacturing, evaluated seven sample configurations and found that while machining surfaces improved density, as-printed […]

Scientists at Donghua University in Shanghai, home to the State Key Laboratory of Advanced Fiber Materials, have developed transparent polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ) aerogels that combine ultralow thermal conductivity with exceptional optical clarity. The work, published in Nature Communications, describes how carefully controlled sol–gel chemistry enables printable inks that yield aerogels with 97% transmission of visible to […]

Prodways, a French manufacturer of industrial 3D printers, has worked with HRL Laboratories in California to investigate how polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) can be additively manufactured without introducing critical defects. Using the ProMaker L5000 digital light projection (DLP) system, HRL scientists fabricated carbosilane-based composites and monitored their transformation into silicon-oxycarbide (SiOC) ceramics. The research established size […]
