3D Systems has received an extra $9 million under the Air Force’s Large-Format Metal 3D Printer Advanced Technology Demonstrator program. In 2023, the firm already got $10.8 million from the…

OK, so in this four-part series, we used a cutting-edge stealth mode AI business intelligence tool that outperforms all commercially available LLMs. We then gussied up the data using Google’s…

Researchers from Korea’s Pusan National University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed 3D printed elastomeric actuators. In a paper published in Nature, the team used elastomeric liquid crystal…

In this ongoing series of Killer 3D Printing Applications, we’ve looked at a lot of things, including tools, tool voids, factory automation, aircraft seating, car seats, and more. We’ve been…

Chromatic 3D Materials has inaugurated a test firing site at Camp Ripley in Little Falls, Minnesota. It’s a 210 square kilometer Minnesota National Guard site used for training service members from…

Tom Bakker is a talented engineer who has worked in LPBF, custom machine building, and on semiconductor equipment. Now he wants to make LPBF metal printing cheap. With Metal Base,…

Eplus3D has worked with UCL Rocket on liquid rocket engines. Right now, they’re working on a regenerative liquid oxygen (LOX) and isopropyl alcohol (IPA) liquid-cooled architecture. These rockets use IPA…

Essentially, I used a cutting-edge stealth-mode AI tool that goes far beyond the capabilities of commercially available LLMs to conduct deep research into the desktop 3D printing filament market. I…

The Walter Reed National Military Medical Center’s 3-D Medical Application Center (3-D MAC) has received premarket clearance to make 3D printed medical devices. This is the first time that a…

Jeff Graves is to step down as 3D Systems‘ CEO once a replacement has been found, the company has announced. He will then retire as CEO and as Director of…

EOS is joining the MAT‑H2 consortium. MAT is an EU-funded group that aims to do research into a hydrogen-led economy. The thinking is that hydrogen will be a clean energy…

Two barracks have been 3D printed at Texas’ Fort Bliss, and another eight will be completed by September. The barracks were printed by ICON, which got $62 million for the…

Kris Kleven has spent decades in engineering. First, he did demanding engineering projects for Schlumberger, Emerson, and others in the oil and gas industry. Later, he worked at NBC Universal…

Connector manufacturer TE Connectivity now uses 3D printing for catheter shafts. These medical device components are now lower in cost thanks to additive manufacturing. Catheters are often coated in polymer…

Xaar has been quietly enabling more and more 3D printing firms to use novel materials and processes through its print heads. The company provides application support and knowledge to unlock…

PLA became a favorite 3D printing material because people thought it was safer than ABS, since it didn’t give you headaches. And being made from plants, it felt safer and…

Kalogon has brought the Verro to market. This is a 3D printed wheelchair cushion, made with vat polymerization technology. Using a variable density lattice, it hopes to give wheelchair users…

The entry-level laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) polymer space is heating up. Whereas in metals it’s Chinese vendors offering breakthrough low-cost products, in polymer it’s HP and Formlabs enabling easier,…

Spain’s IMDEA Materials Institute has worked with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to detect and identify differences in different 3D printers. This could be important in eliminating run-to-run differences in prints and…

Published in the International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, a paper titled “Part scale prediction of residual stress through thermomechanical modeling of additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V” seems to point to the…

In this series, we’re using cutting-edge AI research tools, including an unreleased deep research tool to look at the desktop 3D printing filament market. We’re then comparing it with our…

Matthew Shomper has worked on 3D printed medical devices for many years. There, he specialized in new geometries, cutting-edge designs, designing implants, FEA optimization, approval processes, 510(k) submissions, textures, and…

GKN Aerospace and RTX unit Pratt & Whitney will collaborate on additive manufacturing for the F135 engine. This is an important engine. The turbofan powers the F-35 Lightning II, but…

Lithoz says that its materials revenue has risen 40% year on year. This is a good sign pointing towards higher utilization and production volumes by its customers. Service bureaus and…
