Artificial Intelligence (AI)

We’re once again in lovely Singapore. This time, the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Cluster‘s (NAMIC) Global Additive Manufacturing Summit (GAMS) has a clear focus on AI. Many panels are dedicated…

In today’s 3D Printing News Briefs, America Makes announced the winners of its MIAMI Project Call, and AM Europe released a new report. Artec 3D launched its new Artec Twins…

An under-appreciated story driving the additive manufacturing (AM) industry this year has been the divergence between what’s driving the market in China and what’s driving it everywhere else. Let’s start…

TCT Shenzhen 2026 opened on October 14 in Hall 15 of the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center in Bao’an, and ran through October 16. The event brought together equipment…

Mobility goes Additive (MGA) is an organization exploring collaborative implementation of additive manufacturing. Based in Berlin, MGA staffers work in defense, rail, and medicine while exploring urban transport, lifestyle, and…

Alexander Plotkowski is all about developing new alloys. At Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), he’s the Group Leader for Computational Coupled Physics within the Computational Sciences and Engineering Division. He’s…

In today’s 3D Printing News Briefs, we’re starting with defense news, first from Massivit and then from AML3D. Then we’ll move on to U.S. manufacturing of a new large-format LPBF…

The nature of the AI boom seems no clearer despite its persistence, yet it persists. For one thing, as I’ve discussed before, people really seem to dislike data centers. American…

AM Research New market research: AM Research is building its new Additive Manufacturing Services Market 2.0 model. View the report and preorder here → In case you haven’t heard, at…

The first decades of PBF development were heavily shaped by machine capability: more power, more lasers, larger build volumes, better recoating, and improved process monitoring. These developments will continue, but…

Last week’s International Manufacturing Technology Snow (IMTS) in Chicago welcomed over 90,000 attendees to the jungle that is McCormick Place. With over 1.17 million square feet of exhibit space, and…

Medical additive manufacturing is expanding rapidly inside major healthcare institutions. In 2026 alone, hospital systems including Indiana University Health and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals launched dedicated point-of-care 3D printing facilities to…

We’ll start with maritime manufacturing in this week’s 3D Printing News Briefs, and continue on to defense 3D printing. We’ll end with funding for Tripo AI. Read on for all…

Generative AI modeling has come a long way from three-fingered Shrimp Jesus in an incredibly short time. Meshy 7 launched in mid-August, promising to solve the biggest hurdle in AI…

We’re starting off this week’s 3D Printing News Briefs with a little business from Axtra3D and Beehive Industries, before moving on to a scientific collaboration agreement between Roboze and a…

Coming away from Formnext Asia Shenzhen 2026, my biggest takeaway wasn’t “how many new printers were unveiled”; after all, quite a few established traditional 3D printing brands didn’t show up….

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…
