Horizon Microtechnologies, a German company specializing in high-precision microfabrication, has successfully passed the ECSS-Q-ST-70-02C outgassing standard with its coated 3D printed components. This certification confirms the reliability of their proprietary metallisation process for precision and micro-scale additive manufacturing (AM) polymer parts in demanding space conditions. “At Horizon Microtechnologies our mission is to establish 3D printed, […]

Want to speak at AMA: Energy 2025 or AMA: Automotive & Mobility 2025? Submit your application now! Researchers from the University of Brighton have found that changing the surface pattern and scale of 3D printed electrodes can significantly influence how well gold nanoparticles deposit on them. Led by Dr. Bhavik Anil Patel, the study also explores how effectively […]

The German research initiative Fraunhofer High-Performance Center for Innovation in Additive Manufacturing Hamburg (IAMHH) has awarded €50,000 in funding to each of two research initiatives led by the Fraunhofer Institute for Additive Production Technologies IAPT and the Institute for Industrialization of Smart Materials (ISM) at Hamburg University of Technology. Both projects focus on advancing additive […]

Formnext 2025, the leading international exhibition for additive manufacturing (AM), will return to Frankfurt from 18–21 November with a renewed focus on commercially viable AM applications across industrial sectors. Organized by Mesago Messe Frankfurt, the event aims to support the industrialization of AM by showcasing how innovative production methods are being successfully implemented in industries […]

Medical technology company Cairn Surgical has secured ISO 13485:2016 certification for its Quality Management System for the Breast Cancer Locator (BCL) System, enabling the company to advance scaled production and accelerate broader commercialization efforts. “ISO certification is an important step in the evolution of the company as we look towards broader commercialization of the BCL […]

A research team from China’s Zhejiang University has developed an infinitely recyclable 3D printing resin based on a thermally reversible photo-click reaction. Led by PhD student YANG Bo and Professors XIE Tao and ZHENG Ning from the College of Chemical and Biological Engineering, the innovation supports ongoing efforts to advance a circular economy within additive […]

Recently, Denmark-based additive construction (AC) company COBOD International announced that it had installed its BODXL system in Doha, Qatar. The massive 50 x 30 x 15m machine—about the size of...

This weekend’s 3D Printing News Briefs are all about research! We’ll start with what’s been called the first comparison of corrosion resistance in 3D printed magnesium and zinc alloys. Then,...

Tabletop gaming is not talked about often enough by people in 3D printing. We’ve been writing about 3D printing and tabletop games since 2014. Since then, millions of tabletop game...

The second quarter of 2025 was a balancing act for Materialise (Nasdaq: MTLS), with strong momentum in its medical segment and slower performance across other parts of the business. Like...

The Russia-Ukraine war is driving demand for 3D printed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).   On the eastern front, both sides deploy low-cost, remotely controlled first-person view (FPV) drones to carry out precision strikes, conduct aerial surveillance, and deliver supplies.  Meanwhile, Moscow has intensified long-range attacks, sending swarms of propeller-powered, fixed-wing UAVs deep into Ukraine. Its Iranian-designed […]

The nuclear industry has been working with additive for many years: Only recently have we been finding out about all of the components that are currently being used. The work...

What does it take to get a prosthetic limb to a child halfway around the world? For many, getting a prosthetic still involves complex logistics, long waits, and high expenses....

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 […]
