A new spacecraft manufacturing milestone from Velo3D (Nasdaq: VELO) is drawing attention not only for its technical importance, but also for the timing. On January 5, 2026, Momentus announced that...

Aiming to remove workflow bottlenecks and improve visibility into every layer of production, Metal 3D printer manufacturer Nikon SLM Solutions has introduced SLM.Prep, a unified data-preparation platform designed for the demands of modern multi-laser metal AM.  The system is the culmination of several years of development and incorporates feedback from users working directly with Nikon […]

Stefan Hermann is an engineer who spent 15 years at Liebherr Aerospace and Transportation. Rather surprisingly, he switched from making LPBF landing gear components possible & simulation to having his...

Researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) have developed an ultra-fine 3D printing technique for fabricating vertically aligned nanolasers directly on semiconductor substrates. The approach enables high-density placement of optical components and is intended for use in future optical integrated circuits for computing, communications, and display technologies. The work was led by Ji […]

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have developed flexible, semi-transparent perovskite solar cells whose transparency and apparent color can be tuned without altering the light-absorbing material. Semi-transparent solar cells are often discussed in the context of windows and building-integrated photovoltaics, but in practice they tend to force a compromise. Most existing designs achieve transparency […]

A small 3D printer is now being used by clinicians at British Columbia Cancer Kelowna to create patient-specific tools for brachytherapy, enabling more accurate radiation delivery for people with cervical, vaginal, and recurrent endometrial cancers. “This was the dream of myself and a physician who has since moved back to Quebec,” said medical physicist Dr. […]

FUGO Precision 3D, a developer of 3D printing technology for dental manufacturing, has announced a strategic collaboration with South Korea’s Graphy, a developer of photopolymer materials for 3D printing, ahead of its official market debut at LMT Lab Day 2026 in Chicago. The partnership will integrate Graphy’s advanced photopolymer materials into FUGO’s centrifugal 3D printing […]

Engineers and scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), in collaboration with Stanford University, have developed a 3D nanofabrication technique that scales two-photon lithography (TPL) from a laboratory tool to wafer-scale production—retaining submicron precision while achieving throughput more than a thousand times faster than commercial systems.  The innovation, published in Nature, could accelerate manufacturing for […]

According to the “Additive Manufacturing in Military and Defense 2024” report by AM Research, direct U.S. DoW spending on 3D printing and AM is estimated to exceed $2.6 billion by...

Researchers from McGill University’s Department of Mechanical Engineering and at Drexel University have developed a new method for high-resolution 3D printing using the proboscis of a female mosquito as a biological nozzle. As per the research, the study describes what the authors call “3D necroprinting,” in which proboscides taken from laboratory-reared, uninfected and deceased mosquitoes […]
