On September 11, 2026, the Illinois-based additive manufacturing company Impossible Objects, Inc. announced a $40 million Series B funding round to scale its proprietary Composite-Based Additive Manufacturing (CBAM) technology and meet demand across aerospace, defense, and industrial sectors. Led by…

Last week, Apple unveiled the iPhone Duo, its first foldable phone. Many people online are comparing it with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold8. For the additive manufacturing sector, however, the main development lies in a critical foldable-phone part: the hinge. The…

JENI doesn’t look like a 3D printer. It’s a tower, lit from within by a deep red glow, modular sections stacked and racked like server infrastructure. Add a module and it grows. Reconfigure a node and it takes on a…

Continuous fiber 3D printing is not new to manufacturing. Industrial systems have used it for years to produce parts strong enough to substitute for machined metal. However, the equipment, materials, and expertise required for carbon fiber printing have kept it…

One of the cornerstones of additive manufacturing is the principle of “layer by layer.” Well, there’s one 3D printing technique that disagrees with that completely: volumetric 3D printing. Instead of building an object slice by slice, it cures an entire…

AI-generated 3D models have come a long way, but creating a model is only the beginning of the 3D printing process. A digital asset still needs to be edited, repaired, prepared for fabrication and, in many cases, divided into multiple…
