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,…

As additive manufacturing moved beyond prototyping, its first sustained production relevance emerged in applications where performance considerations outweighed cost efficiency and throughput. The driving factor in these cases was not…

Additive manufacturing may still be a relatively young industry, but the number of real parts being produced with 3D printing is growing quickly. According to a new report from Additive…

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a market in-itself. Still, more broadly, it can be viewed as one component of a shift in the productive economy towards interconnection by the Industrial Internet…

Additive manufacturing (AM) has long relied on a deep well of expertise that is notoriously hard to document. That expertise can be found in the nuances involved in setting up…

Additive manufacturing has been discussed for decades as a technology with the potential to reshape how products are designed and produced. Expectations have often focused on what the technology could…

At Additive Manufacturing Strategies (AMS) 2026, which just wrapped up in New York City yesterday, AM I Navigator and the Leading Minds consortium announced a new alliance aimed at accelerating…

I’m super glad that Filamentive is making filament from recycled PA 12. We all know that in all polymer powder bed fusion processes, there is waste. Some can be recycled…

Chinese 3D printer maker Bambu Lab reported strong results for 2025, showing that the company’s push into community and small-business 3D printing is working. The numbers suggest consumer 3D printing…

Scaling additive manufacturing (AM) supply chains, particularly for metal powder-based processes, depends on the economic viability of products. The development of critical high-temperature metal alloys in powder form requires customer…

Across the globe, factories are using 3D printing to improve operations. Iterative improvements to production lines, automation tools, repairs, additions, custom parts for custom lines, housings for new sensors, and…

Last September, AM Research published a white paper sponsored by Stratasys on the role of additive manufacturing (AM) in enabling point-of-need tooling production across various industries. The white paper, “3D…

Additive Manufacturing is entering a decisive phase. Consolidation is no longer a future scenario; it is happening now. Across polymers and metals, companies are under intense pressure to become profitable,…

Static mixers are everywhere; they’re the nozzles that you use to kit or Purr your bathroom. Factories all over the world, in automotive, consumer electronics, and industry, use millions of…

Alexander Daniels Global has released the 2026 Additive Manufacturing Salary Survey, marking a decade of tracking how talent, compensation, and workforce priorities are evolving across the global AM industry. Now…

ABCorp 3D was established in 2020, but the parent company, which originated under the name American Banknote Company, started out in 1795 as “the first official engraver of the U.S….

Recently, a host of new machines have come to complement desktop 3D printing over the past few years. From desktop lathes and laser cutters, we are seeing a Deskside Manufacturing…

A new market report from Additive Manufacturing Research (AMR) shows that polymer extrusion 3D printing continues to grow quickly, driven largely by low-cost machines and materials. The report, titled “Polymer…

What if we take a helicopter view of the additive manufacturing market? Beyond silos, technologies, and market segments, what are going to be the most interesting trends, strategies, tactics, technologies,…

In 2025, the best-performing 3D printing stocks weren’t mostly the classic Western printer makers. Some of the strongest performers were digital manufacturing platforms and software-intensive players; these are businesses that…

The industrial metal additive manufacturing world is splitting, with commoditization and lower-cost parts driving the production of millions of components for consumer electronics, machinery, dental, and beyond. Meanwhile, large parts…

2025 was a year of change for 3D printing, with much of the year’s activity coming from mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, and company exits. Together, these moves indicate a broader shift:…

2025 was a year of milestones and experimentation in additive manufacturing (AM), marked not only by technical progress but also by the mergers, acquisitions, and restructurings that reshaped the industry,…

When Xometry released the topline results of its new Manufacturing Outlook Report, the data showed just how much pressure manufacturers feel heading into 2026. Costs are rising, reshoring is accelerating,…
