3D printer manufacturer BCN3D has filed for voluntary bankruptcy, according to official court documents seen by 3D Printing Industry. First reported last week by Spanish digital outlet Crónica Global, the Spanish OEM has reportedly entered proceedings after failing to negotiate a restructuring of its outstanding debts with creditor banks last year.  Barcelona’s Commercial Court No. […]

Singapore has introduced a national standard designed to bring additive manufacturing more firmly into the country’s aerospace sector.  Named “Additive Manufacturing for Aerospace – Filament Layer Manufacturing Process Specifications,” SS 708 sets out process specifications for filament layer manufacturing (FLM), a type of 3D printing that builds parts by depositing melted thermoplastic materials one layer […]

Researchers at Luleå University of Technology in Sweden have demonstrated a fully autonomous aerial additive manufacturing (AM) framework capable of fabricating 3D structures using drones. The system, developed by Marios-Nektarios Stamatopoulos, Jakub Haluska, Elias Small, Jude Marroush, Avijit Banerjee, and George Nikolakopoulos, combines optimized mesh decomposition with advanced flight control and has been validated through […]

Revopoint Trackit Launches on Kickstarter with Marker-Free 3D ScanningMay 28

A 2022 startup out of Mumbai, India, caught my attention at RAPID + TCT 2025. The company, known as MIRA 3D and officially registered as Samisan Tech Private Limited, was...

High School Student Develops Low-Cost 3D Printed DroneMay 28

Continuum Powders made headlines in 2025 for its work with Siemens Energy, helping the industrial giant turn aerospace scrap into metal powder for additive manufacturing (AM). That scrap-to-powder model became...

3D scanner manufacturer Revopoint has introduced the Trackit optical tracking 3D scanner, designed to streamline the process of capturing high-precision 3D data.  Launching on Kickstarter, Revopoint Trackit combines a high-accuracy scanner with an intelligent optical tracker to deliver precise, efficient scanning without the need for physical markers. By eliminating marker placement, it streamlines setup, reduces […]

Researchers at the University of Toronto have unveiled a machine learning-based framework designed to accelerate and refine the optimization of laser-based metal additive manufacturing. Named AIDED (Accurate Inverse process optimization framework in laser Directed Energy Deposition), the system allows users to predict and inversely determine optimal printing parameters for Laser Directed Energy Deposition (L-DED) processes, […]

When it comes to space missions, even the smallest tools have to be light, tough, and reliable, and one small device is proving just how powerful that combination can be....

Two U.S. Army soldiers deployed with Combined Joint Task Force Operation Inherent Resolve applied additive manufacturing (AM) training from a naval aviation program to produce critical components in the field. Their actions demonstrate how cross-branch technical instruction supports operational readiness. SPC James Martin and SPC Harry Vo, part of the 10th Mountain Division’s Allied Trades […]

Protolabs, a digital manufacturing services provider, has appointed Suresh Krishna as its new President and Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Krishna will also join the company’s Board of Directors. He succeeds Rob Bodor, who will stay on temporarily as a consultant to support the leadership transition. The company’s Board cited Krishna’s extensive leadership background as […]

Researchers at public university ETH Zurich, commissioned by the cultural foundation Nova Fundaziun Origen,  have completed what is described as the world’s tallest 3D printed concrete tower: Tor Alva — a 30-meter, four-story modular structure in Mulegns, Switzerland.  Constructed from 3D printed concrete elements, this project showcases how robotic fabrication, computer-aided design, and resource-efficient construction […]

Researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed a deep learning model that can determine which specific 3D printer created a part, using only a photograph.  Working with SyBridge Technologies, the method offers a new way for manufacturers to verify part authenticity, monitor supplier compliance, and detect process […]

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have developed what they describe as the world’s first soft robots capable of walking immediately after being produced by a low-cost, custom-built 3D printing platform. This open-source platform is expected to help overcome long-standing obstacles in the design, fabrication, and adoption of soft robotic systems. The robots—small, four-legged devices […]

Swiss provider of advanced surface technologies and materials, Oerlikon has announced a CHF 40 million investment to establish a new innovation and production campus in Aargau, Switzerland. Named Campus Reichhold, the facility will consolidate the company’s three existing Swiss locations into a single site that integrates research and development, engineering, manufacturing, and customer service functions. […]

In the Soft Systems Group at the University of Edinburgh, researchers 3D printed a tiny soft robot, then watched as it walked straight off the machine that made it. This...
