Chinese Design Firm Uses 3D Concrete Printing for Community Playground in Shandong ProvinceAugust 6

German construction firm Züblin and robot-assisted, on-site 3D concrete printing technology specializer Instatiq are scaling up on-site 3D concrete printing through a new joint venture, NELCON, which will offer these services more broadly—pending antitrust approval. The companies are currently deploying 3D concrete technology to build three apartment buildings in Metzingen-Neugreuth, Germany for housing provider GWG […]

Additive manufacturing is redefining the landscape of pediatric tuberculosis (TB) treatment by enabling personalized drug delivery, improved surgical planning, and tailored educational tools. A group of researchers from Maharaja Ranjit Singh Punjab Technical University, Chitkara University, and Thincr Technologies compiled extensive evidence in a review published via ScienceDirect, highlighting how 3D printing is being used […]

Researchers at Baylor University and CisLunar Industries have developed a vertically integrated method to transform cast aluminum space debris into fully dense, structurally sound components using solid-state additive manufacturing. Their combined system—electromagnetic continuous casting followed by twin-rod additive friction stir deposition (TR-AFSD)—refines grain structure, consolidates defects, and produces pre-machined parts suitable for orbital or lunar […]

Elegoo, a Shenzhen-based manufacturer of consumer-grade 3D printers, laser engravers, and STEM kits, has introduced Nexprint, an open-source 3D model platform aimed at simplifying model access and streamlining the printing process. Designed for users across skill levels, the platform supports browsing, downloading, and sharing models through a centralized interface. Nexprint integrates with Elegoo Slicer and […]

Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have developed a technique that enables the precise creation of metallic structures with customized shapes and compositions. This technique offers scientists an unprecedented level of control over alloy design, making it possible to engineer materials with specific mechanical and functional properties. Potential applications range from biocompatible, high-strength […]

RMIT Develops Lower-Cost Titanium Alloy for 3D Printing ApplicationsAugust 5

US-based propulsion system manufacturer Beehive Industries has unveiled the Rampart engine, a fully 3D printed propulsion system developed for use within the Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) framework. Nicknamed “The Force Multiplier,” the engine is specifically designed for uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) intended to operate alongside manned fighter aircraft in high-threat environments. It supports a broad […]

Private university Rochester Institute of Technology’s (RIT) AMPrint Center has received a 10-year contract renewal from New York state to continue research and development in additive manufacturing. The funding—structured in two five-year phases with an initial $5 million allocation—will support work on 3D printing processes, materials, and applications, as well as industry partnerships and workforce […]
