One of the surest ways for the additive manufacturing (AM) industry to illustrate that AM is a differentiator is by creating use cases that deliver quantifiable lead time and/or cost...

We’re in the doldrums. And binder jet is more in the doldrums still. In the first article in this series, we looked at how Jedi Mind Tricks got us to...

Applied Science & Technology Research Organization (ASTRO) America, a Maryland-based nonprofit, is spearheading an initiative to build a new 3D printing facility for the U.S. Navy.  Located on the Pacific Island of Guam, the complex is being built as part of the Guam Additive Materials and Manufacturing Accelerator (GAMMA) project.  GAMMA’s additive manufacturing center aims […]

The United Kingdom’s Royal Air Force (RAF) has installed its first internally produced 3D printed component on an operational Typhoon fighter aircraft, highlighting the potential for faster repairs and reduced downtime. Squadron Leader John Mercer, Senior Engineering Officer at No. 29 Squadron, said the part was a temporary measure, but one that showed the potential […]

X-quisite VORO, the first monoblock moving-coil (MC) turntable cartridge housed in a fully 3D printed, single-piece ceramic Voronoi-web structure, has been awarded the iF Design Award 2025. The jury recognised the cartridge for its combination of a technical monoblock layout with a ceramic capsule whose design and material choice deliver both precision engineering and uncompromising […]

Noé Chouraqui, a third-year Product and Industrial Design student at Central Saint Martins in London, developed “POINT,” a 3D printed tennis ball made using additive manufacturing and eco-friendly materials as part of his final-year project. This initiative targets the environmental waste generated by conventional tennis balls, with approximately 300 million produced annually—amounting to around 20,000 […]

A research team from the Swiss university  ETH Zurich and the University Hospital of Zurich, led by Professors Robert Katzschmann and Omer Dzemali, has created a new 3D heart patch intended for implantation inside the heart. Published recently in Advanced Materials, the “RCPatch” is designed not only to close heart defects but also to support […]

Wacom, the Tokyo-based pioneer in digital pen and tablet technology, has entered a strategic partnership with Blender, the open-source 3D creation suite, to optimize pen and touch performance and expand mobile 3D creation. Announced today at Siggraph 2025 in Los Angeles, the collaboration includes Wacom’s upgrade to Patron-level sponsorship of the Blender Development Fund and […]

3D printing startup Helio Additive has integrated its physics-based thermal simulation and optimization software into Bambu Lab’s slicer.  The Delaware-based company launched its Dragon software last year to boost print reliability, cut warping and defects, and accelerate 3D printing. This platform allows users to simulate and fine-tune print settings before starting a job, helping prevent […]
