Western Australia recently saw the completion of the first multi-storey home constructed using 3D printed concrete in Perth. Developed by Contec Australia, a construction firm specializing in advanced 3D concrete printing technology, this project demonstrates the application of robotic 3D printing technology in residential construction, offering potential advantages such as lower labor demands, accelerated build […]

3D Printing Company’s Coated Plastic Parts Pass Space Industry Outgassing StandardsAugust 1

At US-based Binghamton University, a multidisciplinary research team led by Professor Seokheun “Sean” Choi is exploring new approaches to bacteria-powered biobatteries by integrating laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) 3D printing technology. Working in collaboration with Assistant Professor Dehao Liu, a specialist in LPBF from the Mechanical Engineering Department, the team used this metal AM method […]

Korean launch startup INNOSPACE has accelerated its in-house production of hybrid rocket components using metal 3D printing systems from Eplus3D. The company has deployed three metal Powder Bed Fusion (MPBF) machines to fabricate 13 core parts for its HANBIT rocket line, marking a key step toward serial production. The new Advanced Manufacturing Division at INNOSPACE’s […]

Aconity3D, laser-based 3D printing machines producer, has successfully developed and tested a cryogenic aerospike rocket engine—entirely designed by artificial intelligence (AI) and 3D printed as a single, monolithic component using a high-performance aerospace copper alloy (CuCrZr). Remarkably, the engine passed its hot-fire test on the very first attempt. The engine was manufactured using Aconity3D’s AconityMIDI+ […]

Construction 3D printing pioneer WASP is set to open Shamballa, a large-scale open-air laboratory for sustainable living and additive manufacturing, in Spring 2026. Located in Northern Italy, the 8-hectare site will host self-sufficient 3D printed structures and agroforestry initiatives, marking the culmination of a decade-long vision. The Shamballa project, first introduced by Italy-based WASP (World’s […]

A recent study published on Springer Nature introduces a computational framework that links structural optimization and environmental sustainability in large-area additive manufacturing (LAAM). Researchers from Tampere University, Cranfield University, the University of Jaffna, and the Technical University of Denmark applied this methodology to wind turbine rotor blade mold fabrication, using fiber-reinforced thermoplastics. The system evaluates […]

INNOSPACE, a space company from South Korea, is now using metal 3D printing to make rocket parts faster, cheaper, and more efficiently, entirely in-house for the first time. After purchasing...

A team at the Bioengineering Institute of Technology, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, has developed a DIY coaxial 3D bioprinter by modifying a Creality Ender 3 Pro desktop 3D printer. The open-source system costs under €600 and enables simultaneous extrusion of two hydrogel bioinks through a coaxial nozzle. The device was validated by printing mesenchymal stem […]

Researchers at Pusan National University in South Korea have developed a 3D printing-based diagnostic method that detects thyroid cancer using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) on human serum. The technique bypasses the need for traditional biomarkers by analyzing spectral patterns with a convolutional neural network (CNN), achieving 93.1% sensitivity and 84.0% specificity. Results were published in […]
