A research team led by The University of Texas at Austin has introduced a new 3D printing technique that could redefine how semiconductor components are designed and produced. The method, known as Holographic Metasurface Nano-Lithography (HMNL), offers a way to…

Commercial resin 3D printing was born in the United States, with Chuck Hull’s 1984 patent of stereolithography laying the foundation for an industry that continues to grow today. Since then, American companies have played a central role in advancing resin…

In one of the most severely affected healthcare systems in the world, a team of doctors and engineers has achieved an unprecedented breakthrough. GLIA, an international medical relief organisation, has designed and produced the world’s first 3D-printed external fixator inside…

Each month, 3Dnatives spotlights a startup that is pushing the boundaries of 3D printing. As 2025 draws to a close, it’s time to choose which of these innovators will be crowned our official Startup of the Year. And the decision…

A few weeks ago, we introduced you to the British manufacturer Raplas Technologies. The company has focused on resin additive manufacturing, and more specifically, stereolithography, to offer manufacturers reliable, repeatable, and precise solutions. This is exactly what it is continuing…

This week in 3DExpress, 3D printing is making strides in medicine, aerospace, consumer goods, and materials science. CurifyLabs introduced a 3D printed compounding system that produces pet-friendly medications, offering a faster, more consistent alternative to manual preparation. In aerospace, Saab…

How often do you hear about 3D-printed structures undergoing live ballistic trials? In India, the Army’s Trishakti Corps has pushed construction 3D printing into defense terrain, deploying a robotic concrete 3D printer across forward areas in northern Sikkim and adjoining…

As 3D printing continues to mature, one development is standing out: the rise of multi-material printing. What was once a niche capability is quickly becoming a practical tool for engineers, designers, and manufacturers who want to build more functional parts…
