Materialise’s second quarter was marked by resilience in its Medical division and signs of margin discipline, yet the company’s bottom line was nearly wiped out by currency volatility and weakening industrial demand.  On a call with investors, CFO Koen Berges highlighted €20M drawn from a €50M loan facility, as part of a previously agreed staged […]

Researchers at the University of Freiburg have introduced a process for volumetric 3D printing that enables complex multi-material parts and microscale internal channels to be produced in a single curing step. The method, called Embedded Extrusion-Volumetric Printing (EmVP), was detailed in a peer-reviewed study published in Nature Communications and integrates embedded 3D printing (EMB3D) with […]

Scrona Partners with K1 Solution to Distribute EHD Printing Technology in South KoreaJuly 25

James Bruton, a UK-based engineer and YouTuber, has completed an omnidirectional bike using 3D printed components, aluminum extrusion, and a self-balancing control system. The design features two omni wheels mounted at 90 degrees to one another, enabling the vehicle to travel in any direction, including directly sideways. Bruton reused the front wheel from a one-wheel […]

Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF), in collaboration with reactor developer Kairos Power and Barnard Construction, has developed and deployed large-format 3D printed polymer composite molds to cast high-precision concrete structures at the Hermes Low-Power Demonstration Reactor. The forms, fabricated using carbon-fiber-reinforced ABS, are being used at Kairos Power’s Oak Ridge campus in […]

CRG Defense, a U.S.-based aerospace and defense technology company, has acquired the ARGO 1000 HYPERMELT, a large-format 3D printer manufactured by Italian firm Roboze. This acquisition makes CRG one of the first companies worldwide (and the second in the U.S.) to adopt this system. The addition aims to enhance CRG’s capacity to produce aerospace-grade polymer […]

Northrop Grumman is integrating additive manufacturing across its space systems to reduce lead times, lower costs, and enhance the design flexibility of certified parts.
