What if resin 3D printing could eliminate support structures entirely and make fabrication easier? That is the question explored by researchers at Xiamen University and the University of California, Berkeley. Together, they developed a new method for creating parts from…

Stratasys has announced full U.S. availability of RadioMatrix™, its radiopaque 3D printing material designed for advanced medical imaging education, device testing, and research. The material was previously limited to select programs in Europe. It is now available for healthcare providers,…

Deutsche Bahn (DB) is celebrating ten years of 3D printing, highlighting how the technology has moved from experimental use to a core pillar of its maintenance and supply chain strategy. Since 2015, the German rail operator has expanded its additive…

We end this year with a startup coming from the CEA, the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission: AM3L. The company is a starup that specializes in porous metamaterials produced by metal 3D printing. Its goal is to use…

The University of Maine is proving that large-scale 3D printing is rapidly becoming one of the most transformative tools in modern infrastructure development. When California-based Kairos Power set out to build its experimental Hermes nuclear reactor in Tennessee, the company…

A new study from the University of West Attica argues that the full potential of additive manufacturing will remain unrealized until designers rethink how products are conceived for 3D printing. Published in Advanced Manufacturing, the research introduces a comprehensive design…

This week in 3DExpress, we’re seeing 3D printing scale across industries in surprising ways. Construction company Alquist announced a major partnership with Walmart and other retailers to deploy more than a dozen printed commercial buildings across the U.S. In the…

Across the world, designers, engineers, researchers, and artists are turning to 3D printing as a powerful tool for environmental restoration and regenerative manufacturing. Once viewed primarily as a prototyping technology, additive manufacturing is now enabling solutions that support biodiversity, rebuild…
