A house made of plastic? We’ll admit, it’s a rather surprising concept, especially at a time when society is trying to reduce plastic consumption. But in this case, the material being used is recycled plastic. So what exactly is this…

3D food printing began in 2006 with the Fab@Home, a printer developed by Cornell University that could only work with chocolate, cookie dough, and cheese. Since then, the technology has evolved into a digital production method applied to issues as…

3D printing’s path to industrial scale has run through aerospace tolerances, medical implants, and automotive lightweighting. It has also, less famously, run through mannequins. The demand for faster collections, smaller batches, and more sustainable production in the display and visual…

To record brain activity, neurosurgeons place sensors called bioelectrodes on the brain’s surface. These are thin sheets that capture the signals emitted by neurons. The problem is that they are manufactured with a one-size-fits-all design, intended to work for all…

At MAXXI, Italy’s national museum dedicated to contemporary art and architecture, a striking model of Rome is currently on display through April 26. Spanning 48 square meters and made up of 953 terracotta tiles, the piece reproduces the entire municipal…

Imagine a 3D printer that handles the entire lifecycle of a part – from liquid resin to a fully cured product – without human intervention. That is the promise of FUGO Precision 3D. Based in California, FUGO has developed a…

Orthopedic surgery is a field that demands extreme precision. During an operation, deviations in bone cuts or implant positioning by just a few millimeters can have serious consequences. To address this issue, AK Medical turned to additive manufacturing: the company…

The 2026 Wohlers Report once again reported that the defense sector is the largest revenue generator for additive manufacturing, with aerospace following behind. Driven by a federal mandate to shore up supply chain resilience, the United States has invested billions…
