3D Printing Research

Space is a vacuum, we’ve all heard that before. But that doesn’t mean it’s completely empty, just that it has an extremely low amount of particles and matter. Stars emit…

Today’s 3D Printing News Briefs is a bit of a mixed bag, including stories about standards, ballistics 3D printing, dental aligners, and more. Read on for all the details! DNV…

We’re covering medical and dental news in this weekend’s 3D Printing News Briefs, starting with a new innovation at Boston Children’s Hospital that could become standard practice in orthopedics: 3D…

It might not always feel like it, but the additive manufacturing (AM) industry is having a decent year, all things considered. As usual, AM Research (AMR) is busy analyzing and…

Last year, Detroit’s LIFT, the Manufacturing Innovation Institute (MII) that specializes in lightweighting, announced the Advanced Materials Challenge (AMC) Program, a project call seeking advanced materials solutions for components relevant…

This year’s ASTM International Conference on Advanced Manufacturing (ICAM 2025) was special not only because it was the 10th anniversary of the event, but also because it was the first featuring…

Happy 3D Printing Day! In today’s 3D Printing News Briefs, we cover everything from a 3D printer order and vapor smoothing to microneedles, surgical training models, and more. Read on…

A professor from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, New York, is trying to bring modern digital tools into one of the most traditional parts of the sports world: horses…

Mark Reibel has deep experience in Additive working for HP, ExOne, Holo, Xometry, Stratasys, and Solid Concepts. With over 23 years in 3D printing, Mark has seen it all. With…

Day four, without the Americans and executives, is a joy. It feels a bit like the last days of summer, languid, time passing in globs of molasses. In looking back,…

“At Mayo Clinic, 3D printing isn’t a side project, it’s a patient-specific service that runs on hospital time, helping surgeons plan and act with confidence,” says Dr. Jonathan Morris, a…

Known for setting industry standards, ASTM used this year’s Formnext to launch a global, seven-part initiative to help 3D printing move faster from research to the factory floor. ASTM focused…

Walking through Autodesk’s Technology Center in Boston, I’ve come to expect surprises. One second, it’s MIT engineers pushing concrete printers to their limits, the next it’s Harvard architects stitching stone…

We’ll start with a new software tool from AON3D in today’s 3D Printing News Briefs, and then we’ve got a lot of business, from Conflux Technology and Prima Additive to…

Over the years, researchers in additive manufacturing have been working on different hydrogel systems for scaffolds, supports, and parts. Others have worked on different forms of growing 3D prints, while…

There has still never been a single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) craft launched from Earth, but plenty of companies are working tirelessly to realize that dream, and additive manufacturing (AM) is integral to…

South Korean biotech startup Clecell has achieved what many tissue engineers have long sought: a reproducible, full-thickness human skin built entirely from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), using bioprinting. Clecell’s…

When most people look at piles of mining waste, they see rubble. For Maddie Farrer and Chenming He, two researchers at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design (GSD), those rocks look…

We’re starting with standards news from ASTM International in today’s 3D Printing News Briefs, and then moving on to business, as Precision Plastics Australia launched a new collaborative venture. ValCUN…

I’m a huge fan of the Icelandic firm Euler. The company lets you take the images that your LPBF machine already generates and analyses them. Euler can predict errors before…

Additive Manufacturing Research (AM Research) recently reported that the global additive manufacturing (AM) market reached $3.9 billion in Q2 of 2025: an 8.8% year-over-year increase. There’s a lot to unpack,…

We’ll start off this weekend’s 3D Printing News Briefs with a little business, as Spectroplast appointed a new CEO, Meltio appointed a new distributor, and WOL3D inaugurated what it says…

In space, manufacturing has always been an area with much speculation but little actual progress. The idea is simple: zero or reduced gravity environments may be a better place to…

At the Autodesk Technology Center in Boston, experiments don’t stay on paper for long. Ideas are tested at full scale, sometimes overnight. Among the largest machines in the space is…
