We’re kicking things off today with software news, as the new Meshy 7 is now live. Then we’ll move on to business, with ExOne and voxeljet now operating as a…

Rejoice, ye process engineers! Your raised concerns do not go in vain. Additive manufacturing (AM) materials qualification is genuinely becoming the central focal point for commercialization efforts in the industry’s…

Hi3D, the all-in-one AI 3D creation platform, has launched Hi3D V3.0, the industry’s first commercially available AI 3D model with 2048³ voxel resolution. The new version is designed to dramatically…

Romain Kidd was MyMiniFactory‘s CEO and helped that company grow in a crowded market of people sitting between “the cloud,” communities, and 3D printing. We talk about how MyMiniFactory was…

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…

Overall, the additive manufacturing (AM) industry has stayed impressively restrained in terms of trying to leverage any potential coattail hype from the AI boom. Perhaps the leading enterprises left standing…

Every major technology wave comes with big predictions about how it will change the world. Today, many of those predictions center on artificial intelligence (AI). Futurists like Ray Kurzweil and…

Given that additive manufacturing (AM) is so closely adhering to the classic industrialization blueprint whereby military adoption pushes a new technology to commercialization, I’ve thought for a long time that…

We’ve got a lot to cover in today’s 3D Printing News Briefs, from business and additive manufacturing (AM) in Europe to automotive 3D printing, and generative design. Read on for…

By the usual measure, a tally of funding rounds, APAC’s additive manufacturing market had a quiet second quarter. The capital that has actually closed across the region comes to about…

In today’s 3D Printing News Briefs, Massivit continues its focus on aerospace and defense manufacturing, and Meltio is collaborating with Phillips Corporation for RIMPAC 2026. Moving on to software, AMIS…

I recently wrote about the US Navy’s development of the Advanced Integrated Mobile Machine Shop (AIMMS), a containerized unit built around the Phillips Additive Hybrid system, which combines DED and…

Large-format LPBF darling Solukon Maschinenbau launches SPR-Pathfinder PRO, an upgrade to its depowdering software. This is a smart play because it enables the company to keep ahead of potential competition…

Limitless Labs has raised an additional $20 million for its agentic CAD/CAM platform, bringing its total funding to date to $27.3 million. Investors in the Series A round include Dell…

In today’s 3D Printing News Briefs, Snapmaker is celebrating 10 years with a series of updates. XJet is collaborating with eqops for sales and support across the UK and Ireland,…

Asia’s additive manufacturing sector spent the back half of May moving capital and capacity, not just demos. Chinese desktop and consumer printer makers pushed onto public markets, metal powder producers…

As it is in the habit of doing at least once per generation, the semiconductor capital equipment (semicap) market is currently in the process of reinventing itself. This is too…

Recent reporting on the UPS MD-11 engine separation on Flight 2976 has understandably focused on the immediate question: what happened? The investigation will determine that, as it should. Serious engineering…

Aibuild has launched FETS for Additive Manufacturing, a Finite Element Thermomechanical Simulation tool that lets you simulate stress, distortion, thermal effects, and thermomechanical effects. The solution has been optimized for…

Competition in desktop 3D printing is brutal. Whereas before, firms competed through value engineering, Prusa clones now have an integrated hardware, sensor, and software setup that is making all the…

Finland’s DeskArtes Oy has released 3Data Expert version 16.0, a comprehensive tool for additive manufacturing (AM) data preparation. Originating in the 1990s at Helsinki University of Technology, now Aalto University,…

Dutch firm Dimanex got its start as an MRO platform for the railways. The company had a contract with the Dutch Army in 2018, and later that year signed one…

The need for replacement parts that are in limited production—or out of production altogether—will always be a demand catalyst for additive manufacturing (AM). Unless the entire global economy at some…

In this weekend’s 3D Printing News Briefs, AMUG announced the winners of its Technical Competition, and Authentise launched AI platform Whisper at RAPID. Bambu Lab wasn’t at RAPID, but launched…
