End-of-barrel suppressors, oftentimes referred to as silencers, function by capturing and redirecting high-pressure propellant gases through carefully engineered internal structures and channels. By disrupting the gas flow before it exits…

We’re starting with some business news for you in today’s 3D Printing News Briefs! The Wohlers Report 2026 is now available, Carbon announced its new Chief Technology Officer, and Farsoon…

Ben Wynne still talks about 3D printing the way people do when they’ve felt that “wow” moment up close. Back in the early 2000s, he was working at HP’s advanced…

The U.S. hydropower fleet, more than 2,200 plants averaging 65 years of age, relies on large, bespoke components that are increasingly difficult to source. Long lead times, disappearing suppliers, and…

Modern physics experiments and high-value industrial applications increasingly depend on custom, high-performance materials. These often require strict constraints such as radiopurity, controlled microstructure, and repeatable powder behavior in metal additive…

At the recent Military Additive Manufacturing Summit & Technology Showcase (MILAM 2026), additive manufacturing wasn’t just being discussed as a production strategy; it was being packaged for deployment. A big…

Additive manufacturing has spent years navigating skepticism, hype cycles, and industrial validation. Now, the industry finds itself at a decisive turning point. The conversation has shifted away from futuristic possibilities…

When the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded in 2025 for work explaining innovation-driven economic growth, many readers outside economics likely skimmed past it. Inside manufacturing and technology circles,…

CAD and 3D printing veteran Carl Bass is to leave Formlabs‘ board after eight years. Formlabs Board Chairman Natan Linder said, “Formlabs also announced that Carl Bass will step down…

Joel Telling asked politicians attempting to ban 3D printing in his home state to step away from their desks and come visit the farm. His 3D print farm, to be…

The evolution of Directed Energy Deposition (DED) systems has increasingly focused on improving process adaptability, geometric fidelity, and integration into automated manufacturing environments. FormAlloy has advanced this progression through the…

The world of soft robotics is still largely in its pure research phase, but the R&D landscape has started to produce examples of early-stage commercialization. Researchers have started to refine…

Additive manufacturing is steadily moving from experimental use toward routine application in U.S. Navy shipbuilding, sustainment, and much more. In recent years, the Navy, working through its Maritime Industrial Base…

Automation is already a pillar of global manufacturing strategy, even as its practical limitations for continued expansion signal that manufacturers will require quite some time to figure out how to…

Additive manufacturing is entering the most consequential period in its evolution. After years of experimentation and uneven adoption, the industry is showing renewed momentum, shaped by supply-chain pressures, and a…

Across the United States, thousands of entrepreneurs are flocking to the suppressor opportunity. Whereas previously suppressors were something for special forces and movies, now they’re in demand with gun enthusiasts,…

For years, 3D printing in sports has been linked mostly with prototypes, concept shoes, and one-off experiments for elite athletes. Helmets, cleats, and footwear midsoles often took over the headlines,…

The desktop 3D printer market may soon look less like a hobby and more like a serious, high-stakes race. Between rumors of mega-investments, changing alliances, and a boom in consumer…
