I didn’t attend RAPID + TCT this year, so I missed getting to see the Matrix6D platform operating live on the show floor. Thankfully, the CEO and founder of Advanced…

Researchers at Northwestern University have developed 3D printed neurons that can send signals to real brain cells and get a response back. According to the team, the printed structures could…

Rice University researchers have found a way to 3D print using focused microwaves. Published in Science Advances, Professor Yong Lin Kong and his team believe the technology could be used…

Metal additive manufacturing (AM) systems generally utilize lasers with spot sizes that fall into a range of 80 micrometers (μm) to 100μm, although dynamic beam shaping may soon lead to…

Nano Dimension has sold its Additively Manufactured Electronics (AME) business to Inspira Technologies. The sale “includes intellectual property, proprietary high-precision 3D electronic printing systems, patented software, engineering know-how, manufacturing equipment,…

Due to a combination of historical, ideological, and economic reasons, companies originating in East and Southeast Asian nations have proven far more adept than their Western counterparts at leveraging organization…

Elon Musk essentially functions as a human loophole in the antitrust regulatory system. Whether or not it’s the deliberate purpose of why he runs his businesses this way, I don’t…

Horizon Microtechnologies uses Boston Micro Fabrication‘s (BMF) Projection Micro Stereolithography (PμSL) technology to make tiny, accurate parts. It then enhances these polymer prints with proprietary coatings and expertise in controlling…

One prerequisite for success in additive manufacturing (AM) is the establishment of a proven system for converting initial sales used as tech validation into future sales of higher-value hardware that’s…

The longer that the US-Israel war on Iran continues, the more that the discourse surrounding the war will start to absorb strategic tensions between the West and China surrounding Taiwan,…

Conflux Technology’s 3D printed transmission oil cooler took to the track on a Multimatic Motorsports car; this story kicks off today’s 3D Printing News Briefs. Then, MIT researchers developed a…

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…

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…

Maker Dzingof was doing tonnes of electroplating of desktop and other 3D prints years ago with his Metalizzr project. I’ve been playing, a lot less successfully, with electroplated 3D prints…

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…

3D-printed electronics is an emerging field that combines additive manufacturing techniques with the integration of electronic components to produce previously unachievable results. It enables the creation of complex, customized electronic…

Since the beginning of the decade, it seems like at least once a year, there will be a story about VC funds pouring money into some previously unknown startup that…

We’re kicking off 3D Printing News Briefs with some news from last week’s Shot Show in Las Vegas, and then moving on to new 3D printing systems. We’ll end with…

Recycling is one of those things that people support, but, for the most part, don’t actually do. If it sounds like I’m being judgmental, let me be the first to…

In 2024, as usual, semiconductor manufacturers topped the world’s list of highest R&D spenders. There are few spaces within global industry where R&D is more highly prioritized than semiconductor and…

Additive Manufacturing Research (AMR) and Cantor Fitzgerald recently wrapped up AM Investment Strategies, and thermal management applications, specifically for the AI infrastructure market, were at the center of the discussion….

Viennese firm UpNano has successfully commercialized 2-photon polymerization (2PP) technology for the research market and beyond, leading to its global rollout. Now the firm has made the decision to enter…

The growth of reshoring has catalyzed interest in leveraging additive manufacturing (AM) for very large parts, most notably those used in U.S. maritime applications. As the momentum behind reshoring continues to…

In this weekend’s 3D Printing News Briefs, we’re starting with metal coatings for polymer micro 3D printed parts. MELD is releasing its next generation of machines, Modix announced serial production…
