A team of researchers from Duke University and Penn State, led by Julia Oh, PhD, and Ibrahim Ozbolat, PhD, is using a 3D bioprinted lung model to study how influenza and bacteria interact in human lung tissue. Funded by a $3.2 million NIH grant over four years, the project aims to uncover why some co-infections […]

Japanese construction and engineering company Shimizu Corporation has unveiled a new spray-based 3D concrete printing system aimed at constructing large, curved, and reinforced structural components.  The system combines a nine-degree-of-freedom gantry robot with a material spray simulator, allowing engineers to verify material behavior before printing. This approach enables precise, automated fabrication of complex structural geometries […]

UK-based research organization Materials Processing Institute (MPI) has introduced a high-temperature X-ray Diffraction (XRD) system that allows researchers and industrial partners to study materials at temperatures up to 1600°C. This system enables real-time observation of phase transformations in ceramics, slags, minerals, and metal alloys under conditions relevant to industrial processes such as casting, kilns, and […]

3D printing software developer AMIS has partnered with a researcher from Turkey-based Ondokuz Mayıs University (OMU) to integrate a variable slice height algorithm into its AMIS Pro build preparation software. This development targets binder jetting processes and introduces adaptive slicing functionality within the software environment. Developed by Dr. Hasan Bas of OMU, the algorithm enables […]

Researchers from the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA) have studied consumer reactions to an experimental food made from plant cell cultures and fruit by-products to assess its acceptance. Led by Simona Errico, Valentina Mastrobuono, Paola Sangiorgio, and Silvia Massa, the study centers on small edible spheres described as […]

As Vanesa Listek wrote, last year was a major turning point for additive manufacturing (AM), as the industry is working to sort itself out. Customers want proven use cases and...

Polymer additive manufacturing is seeing less investment, attention, and disruption than metal additive manufacturing currently. Less crucial for defense needs, it has of late had far fewer new entrants. But,...

Stratasys announced a new software partnership with Novineer to solve one of the long-standing challenges in industrial FDM 3D printing: knowing how a printed part will actually perform before it...

Scott Dunham models all the data at Additive Manufacturing Research. He has been predicting the growth of the 3D printing market in segments, materials, and applications for over a decade....

3dSynth, a new software platform for desktop 3D printing, is aiming to rethink how objects are designed for FDM printers by removing the need for traditional CAD models and slicing workflows. The tool generates printer-ready G-code directly from mathematical parameters, allowing users to design objects through generative effects rather than polygon meshes. Available as both […]

Stratasys has announced a partnership with Novineer to integrate Novineer’s toolpath-aware FDM performance simulation technology into GrabCAD Print Pro. The integration aims to reduce physical testing for safety-critical, load-bearing polymer parts by enabling engineers to predict part performance directly from printer toolpaths. The collaboration brings Novineer’s NoviPath simulation engine into Stratasys’ software ecosystem. The combined […]

Researchers at Woldia University in Ethiopia have published a peer-reviewed analysis in Springer Nature describing how artificial intelligence (AI) can design multifunctional nanomaterials that endure the severe thermal and radiation conditions of space. The study, titled AI-driven design of multifunctional nanomaterials in revolutionizing high-temperature, high-power solutions for space technology, shows how data-driven design can overcome […]

December didn’t behave like a year-end victory lap. It read more like an audit. The month’s clearest signal was not a new machine or a fresh acronym, but the steady arrival of constraints: production volumes that can be checked, standards that can be enforced, failures that trigger scrutiny, and supply chains that are now treated […]

Shimizu Corporation Develops Spray-Based 3D Concrete Printing System for Large Structural ComponentsJanuary 5

Studio RAP has been using 3D printing and ceramics to create spaces that feel human, calm, and alive. The studio’s approach can be seen in two recent projects, one in...

Happy New Year! We’ve got an abbreviated 3D Printing News Briefs for you today, so we can all enjoy our holiday weekend but still keep up on the industry’s news....

November is when the industry’s centre of gravity becomes difficult to deny. Taken in aggregate, the month is less like a sequence of product announcements and more like a set of institutional decisions about capacity: who gets funded, who gets qualified, which inputs are sovereign, and what “surge” means when supply chains are contested. That […]

In 2025, the best-performing 3D printing stocks weren’t mostly the classic Western printer makers. Some of the strongest performers were digital manufacturing platforms and software-intensive players; these are businesses that...

The industrial metal additive manufacturing world is splitting, with commoditization and lower-cost parts driving the production of millions of components for consumer electronics, machinery, dental, and beyond. Meanwhile, large parts...
