Rocket Lab, a U.S.-based space systems company, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Nikon SLM Solutions to reserve two units of its upcoming ultra-large format metal 3D printing systems. The agreement signals an effort by Rocket Lab to expand its additive manufacturing capabilities for producing larger, high-performance components for aerospace applications. Free registration […]

Researchers at Guangzhou Medical University have developed a biodegradable composite material for guided bone regeneration (GBR), combining high mechanical performance with patient-specific customization. The α-TCP/PLA/nMgO composite—composed of alpha-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP), polylactic acid (PLA), and nano-magnesium oxide (nMgO)—was engineered to provide spatial support during bone healing while degrading at a rate aligned with tissue regeneration. The […]

Italian energy research agency ENEA (Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development) has published new results showing how finely-architected precisely engineered additively manufactured foams behave when struck by high-power nanosecond laser pulses. Described in a 4 June 2025 arXiv pre-print by Mattia Cipriani et al., the work pairs experiments on ENEA’s […]

US university Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) has received a $6.3 million grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop a machine learning-driven process for on-site additive manufacturing using scrap metal. The project, named “Rubble to Rockets,” seeks to identify and analyze how mixed materials behave before being melted, combined, and 3D printed […]

UK energy company National Grid has launched a UK-first trial to manufacture, install, and test 3D printed concrete foundations for substations, in collaboration with Finnish concrete 3D printing specialist Hyperion Robotics and the University of Sheffield in the UK. The project aims to assess whether this construction method can reduce carbon emissions, minimize material waste, […]

It doesn’t make 3D printers, supply additive manufacturing (AM) feedstock, provide design software, or print parts upon request from the general marketplace. But none of this makes Ursa Major any...
