U.S. Marines Save Hundreds of Thousands with 3D Printed Antenna Mast
Recently, I wrote about an article by Col. Michael Mai, Chief of the US Army Working Capital Fund, in which he argued that the Army is “mispricing readiness” and that…
With ARPA-E Backing, HRL Laboratories Advances 3D Printed Cooling for More Efficient Data Centers
In the report “AM for Data Centers: a 3D Printing Market Opportunity” that I wrote last year for Additive Manufacturing Research (AMR), I referenced Theodore Maiman, the man credited with…
Cisco Report Finds Cybersecurity and Networks Determine AI Growth in Manufacturing
Additive manufacturing (AM) is a market in-itself. Still, more broadly, it can be viewed as one component of a shift in the productive economy towards interconnection by the Industrial Internet…
DOE Backs DMG Mori AI Tool to Speed Qualification of 3D Printed Parts
Since 2015, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded projects that leverage the high-performance computing (HPC) capabilities of the U.S. national laboratories to optimize manufacturing processes. The High-Performance Computing…
SPEE3D Continues to Dominate in Metal AM Innovation with Tennessee Army National Guard
The US Army’s additive manufacturing (AM) capabilities have taken some time to catch up to those of the Air Force and Navy, but the catch-up phase now seems to be…
Melotte Partners with amsight and Additive Center to Reduce CT Scanning for 3D Printed Semicap Parts
The first report for Additive Manufacturing Research (AMR) that I wrote solo was about the AM market opportunity in semiconductor capital equipment (semicap) components. Published in early 2024, the report…
6K Additive Lands Long-Term Nickel-Alloy Powders Supply Agreement with Siemens Energy
We’ve still got a month left in Q1, but I’ve already come back to the theme of the role of additive manufacturing (AM) in the ‘sustainability-as-security’ thesis — a topic…
BigRep Expands into the Auto Aftermarket Through SEMA’s 6,000-Member Network
Several months ago, 3DPrint.com Executive Editor Joris Peels made a good case for aftermarket car parts as a potential high-growth opportunity for additive manufacturing (AM), specifically in the context of…
XTPL’s 3D Printed Advanced Packaging Solution Lands the Company a Strategic Partnership with Leading Semicap OEM
Chip packaging refers to all parts of a semiconductor device aside from the die (the “chip”) itself. As this IBM explainer nicely puts it, “In a nutshell, chip packaging provides…
Australian Researchers Develop Accelerator-Free Underwater 3D Concrete Printing System
Infrastructure projects are just as important as housing to the additive construction (AC) market segment, and structures used for underwater applications like coastal resilience have steadily become one of the…
Waiting Has a Cost: the True Value of Additive Manufacturing
One of my favorite expressions is “Hurry up and wait,” because it perfectly captures one of my least favorite scenarios to have to live through. You rush to get ready…
The Real World Impact of Simulated Parts: Why Novineer and Stratasys Partnered on Performance Simulation for FDM
If one of the primary advantages of additive manufacturing (AM) is that it’s “digitally-native,” then the hardware will ultimately only be as good as the software guiding the process. That…
APES Partners with Great Lakes Semiconductor to Scale Advanced, Additive Chip Packaging
Terminologically, additively manufactured electronics (AME) occupies similar space in the realm of tiny components that additive construction (AC) occupies when it comes to large components: it’s a single phrase that…
AMS 2026: The Gift of a Good Strategy
First things first, folks: if you’re planning on attending AMS 2026, February 24-26 in NYC, and you haven’t registered yet, you can do so here. We’ll consult some ghosts of…

The Barnes Global Advisors (TBGA), the additive manufacturing (AM) consultancy based in Pittsburgh, is a pillar of the AM industry. TBGA’s expertise is sought by AM OEMs across the globe,…
Harvard SEAS Engineers Develop 3D Printing Method for Soft Robotic Components with Programmable Shapes
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…
Velo3D Becomes First Qualified AM Vendor for US Army’s Ground Vehicles Program
One indicator that I’ve used to help me track the additive manufacturing (AM) industry’s progress in terms of its technical maturity is the relative progress that each U.S. military branch…
Fully Automated, “Continuously Re-Nested” Industrial 3D Printing: AMIS Launches AMIS Runtime
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…
