Artificial Intelligence (AI)

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…

ATLANT 3D has launched a new industrial-scale manufacturing system as it works to bring its unusual form of atomic-scale additive manufacturing (AM) into semiconductors, AI materials research, and advanced electronics….

Thanks to this LinkedIn Post by Lukas Ziegler, I found out about the Berkeley Humanoid Lite. Now I’ve always been quite skeptical of humanoid robots. Why not just get two…

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…

The US added 5,000 manufacturing jobs in July, although in its article on the subject, Wall Street Journal notes that there are still (slightly) fewer manufacturing workers in the US…

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…

The second half of July brought major developments across Asia’s additive manufacturing sector. Highlights included India’s first private orbital launch powered by 3D printed engines, a billion-yuan ownership change at…

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…

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…

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…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought a new look to the hardware engineering domain. Using generative design algorithms, engineers put performance parameters and weight constraints together and the program generates complex,…

As many as ten million desktop 3D printers may be sold this year. This makes the desktop filament market potentially a significant business. I’ve interviewed key participants in this industry,…

Welcome to Printing Money Episode 40. Matthias Schmidt-Lehr (AMPOWER, Executive Partner) joins Danny for this episode and we are very thankful to have him back. In Episode 40, Danny and…

Additive manufacturing is at a crossroads. Simultaneously, we find ourselves between certain very different modalities, applications, and industries. Rather than being able to explore them all, companies will now have…

ugee has released the Funbox, a 3D printer for kids. The company is a part of Hanvon Ugee Technology Group, a manufacturer and distributor of drawing tablets under the ugee,…

The Department of Energy‘s National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) is part of the US government that manages the US nuclear stockpile, helping to upgrade, improve, and maintain nuclear weapons, and…

For creators, makers, studios, and small businesses, color has remained one of the biggest barriers in digital fabrication. Multi-color FDM is limited in detail and often creates waste towers, while…

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…

We’ll kick this weekend’s 3D Printing News Briefs off with some advisory board and management changes, and then move on to project call news. We’ll end with some heartwarming stories…

The most interesting workforce trends in additive manufacturing have little to do with salaries and everything to do with where companies are placing their bets. One of the clearest signs…

If 2026 has a theme in bioprinting, it may be blood vessels. Researchers can already print incredibly sophisticated tissues. The harder part is keeping those tissues alive. Without a network…

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has commercialized a number of large-format 3D printing technologies. Now, scientists are working on error mitigation in large parts. ORNL is using six thermal cameras…

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…

One of the most important things to happen to the US Military in over a decade just happened: SOUTHCOM (The US’ Southern Command responsible for Central America, South America, and…
