Italian energy research agency ENEA (Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development) has published new results showing how finely-architected precisely engineered additively manufactured foams behave when struck by high-power nanosecond laser pulses. Described in a 4 June 2025 arXiv pre-print by Mattia Cipriani et al., the work pairs experiments on ENEA’s […]

US university Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) has received a $6.3 million grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop a machine learning-driven process for on-site additive manufacturing using scrap metal. The project, named “Rubble to Rockets,” seeks to identify and analyze how mixed materials behave before being melted, combined, and 3D printed […]

UK energy company National Grid has launched a UK-first trial to manufacture, install, and test 3D printed concrete foundations for substations, in collaboration with Finnish concrete 3D printing specialist Hyperion Robotics and the University of Sheffield in the UK. The project aims to assess whether this construction method can reduce carbon emissions, minimize material waste, […]

It doesn’t make 3D printers, supply additive manufacturing (AM) feedstock, provide design software, or print parts upon request from the general marketplace. But none of this makes Ursa Major any...

Nike’s 3D printed sneaker is officially getting a release. The Air Max 1000 Oatmeal, made using Zellerfeld’s 3D printing technology, is set to drop in Summer 2025, with a retail...

With veganism on the rise, more eco-conscious consumers, and more of a worry about where all the things we consume come from, a lot of firms are taking a hard...

OHB System AG and Fraunhofer IAPT Develop a Standardized AM Process Chain for Space ComponentsJune 12

Sydney-based fashion label Amiss took the stage at the WINGS 2025 Independent Fashion Festival last month with a debut collection that blended organic inspiration with advanced production techniques.  Using Chinese 3D printer manufacturer Creality’s 3D printing technology, the brand demonstrated how fashion can embrace both natural forms and modern tools to create something new and […]

Leonardo UK, a subsidiary of global defense manufacturer Leonardo Group, is increasingly integrating additive manufacturing across its operations. With 8,500 employees nationwide, the business is expanding its 3D printing operations to boost production capabilities and reshape Britain’s defense supply chain. Join leaders in defense and aerospace at AMAA 2025 on July 10th. Speaking at TCT […]

Join AM leaders in defense at the Additive Manufacturing Advantage online conference. North Carolina-based titanium developer IperionX has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) that could be worth up to $99 million.  Issued under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, the five-year agreement allows federal agencies to place orders for […]

5minlab, a software development studio, has released a standalone simulator that emulates fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing workflows in a detailed, interactive environment. 3D Printer Simulator, available at Itch.io, enables users to handle every stage of the process—from slicing a digital model to observing each layer’s deposition—without using physical materials. Users interact with a […]

A joint team from Peking University, ByteDance, and Carnegie Mellon University has released PartCrafter, an open-source generative AI system that turns a single RGB image into multiple structured 3D part meshes in seconds. Detailed in a 5 June 2025 arXiv preprint and a public project demo, the tool uses a compositional latent diffusion transformer to […]

TissueLabs, a Swiss biotech firm, has unveiled TissuePro, a bioprinting system engineered for sophisticated tissue applications. This new system builds upon the success of their introductory printer, TissueStart, and is designed to empower researchers to expand their work and address more intricate biological structures, ranging from regenerative medicine to soft robotics. Compared to previous models, […]

The world’s largest 3D construction printer, the BODXL, has been installed at a school construction site in Doha, Qatar. Built by specialist in 3D construction printing technology, COBOD International, and operated with Qatari-based international energy, concessions, and construction company, UCC Holding, the printer was unveiled at a VIP event this week. According to the company, […]

3D printer manufacturer Bambu Lab’s newest firmware update for its A- and P-Series 3D printers has ignited backlash within the 3D printing community, with critics accusing the company of reinforcing its already closed ecosystem. Rolled out last week, the update introduces the controversial “Authorization Control” feature—rebranded as a security measure—alongside a new “Developer Mode,” a […]
