We’re covering a variety of applications in this weekend’s 3D Printing News Briefs, starting with construction. Then it’s on to automotive 3D printing and 3D printed drones. We’ll end with...

At Silmo Paris 2025, American eyewear company Tech Print Industries (TPI) is set to unveil its Design Gallery—a web-based platform powered by 3D printing that enables eyewear brands to design, customize, and produce frames without molds, warehouses, or waste. The platform offers brands, retailers, and designers a streamlined 3D design environment with customizable shapes, textures, […]

A Ukrainian precision-guided munition, reportedly produced using 3D printing technology, was showcased at the Defence Cooperation Forum attended by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. “Today, together with Prime Minister of Canada @MarkJCarney, we saw the latest Ukrainian developments—weapons and equipment created here in Ukraine to defend our state,” Zelenskyy wrote in […]

Researchers are advancing lab-grown skin substitutes that could reshape treatment for burns and chronic wounds. A comprehensive overview of this progress, published in Nature Outlook: Skin, highlights how multilayer grafts are moving closer to clinical use. In 2023, Anthony Atala at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, reported a printed three-layer […]

Ten years into SAE’s AMS AM standards work, Bill Bihlman examines progress, pain points, and the path to wider aerospace adoption. This summer, SAE celebrated its 10th anniversary of its...

Your seat at the Additive Manufacturing Advantage awaits! Register free for AMA: Energy and AMA: Automotive & Mobility. The University of Windsor (UWindsor) has been awarded CA$2 million in federal funding to build a net zero student residence using 3D printing technology.  Planned for California Avenue and expected to open next summer, Windsor’s project is part of a […]

Metal 3D printing company Velo3D (Nasdaq: VELO), which just this week uplisted to the Nasdaq Capital Market a year after leaving the NYSE for over-the-counter (OTC) markets, is participating in...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has reported progress with DuAlumin-3D. The team has said that, “DuAlumin-3D outperforms traditional alloys, which are prone to cracking during laser powder bed fusion processing,...

Researchers at Qingdao University of Technology, Tel Aviv University, and Cairo University have demonstrated a new femtosecond laser method for fabricating rectangular microchannels in UV-curable resin. The approach, published in Nature Communications, combines zero-order Gaussian light with a first-order Bessel beam, producing smoother surfaces and higher material removal rates than either beam alone. Conventional Gaussian […]

Private, nonprofit science and technology organization Battelle and 3D pharmaceutical company Aprecia have received a U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) agreement to advance the Establishing Qualification Processes for Agile Pharmaceutical Manufacturing (EQUIP-A-Pharma) research program, funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) Office […]

Rapid Fusion Launches AI Assistant for Large-Format 3D PrintersAugust 29

On Ukrainian Independence Day (August 24), the Defence Cooperation Forum. Future Warfare was held in Kyiv, which was attended by defense ministers and other leaders from across the Western world....

A new assistive technology is allowing people with paralysis to use computers, tablets, and smartphones without relying on their hands. The MouthPad, developed by Boston-based startup Augmental, translates tongue and head movements into cursor commands, offering an alternative to voice recognition systems that are often impractical in classrooms or social environments. The system has already […]

Researchers from Vellore Institute of Technology and Vignan’s Foundation of Science Technology and Research have demonstrated that a composite paste made from okra powder and jackfruit flour can be standardized as an edible ink for 3D printing. The study, published in Springer Nature, evaluated material properties, microstructure, and printing parameters, finding that a mixture containing […]

A research team at Leibniz University Hannover in Germany has developed what is described as the world’s first flexible 3D printing process that uses metal powder to manufacture and repair components under microgravity conditions. Producing and repairing metal components efficiently in microgravity has historically been challenging due to the complexity of handling metal powders, but […]

Researchers at Chongqing Medical University in China and the Chinese University of Hong Kong have published a comprehensive review on the use of 3D printing in skeletal muscle-on-a-chip (SMoC) systems. The paper, appearing in ScienceDirect, highlights how printing methods are being applied to fabricate microfluidic devices, arrange muscle fibers, and create biomimetic scaffolds for studying […]

U.S. 3D printer manufacturer 3D Systems has been awarded a $7.65 million contract by the U.S. Air Force to advance its Large-format Metal 3D Printer Advanced Technology Demonstrator (GEN-IIDMP-1000). The two-year contract continues an existing program that began in 2023, aimed at developing AM capabilities for producing large, high-temperature metal structures suited to high-speed flight […]
