In the midst of the US Department of Defense’s race to achieve “drone dominance,” an ambitious plan that envisions the acquisition of up to 300,000 single-use attack drones by 2028, the Marine Corps has taken an initial step. This involves…

When the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) integrates a technology into its research workflow, the focus is rarely on high-volume production. Instead, the interest lies in the precision, repeatability, and material flexibility required for rigorous…

While stereolithography is a well-established additive manufacturing technology used by many, it comes with its share of challenges, particularly when it comes to scaling up. Manufacturers are often forced to make a difficult trade-off between speed and quality, while also…

This week’s 3DExpress kicks off in Italy, where WASP has completed the 3D-printed walls of Itaca: a self-sufficient farm and living model built around a circular micro-economy. We then turn to VulcanForms, which has raised $220 million to scale its…

3DEXPERIENCE World, an event that brings together SOLIDWORKS users to connect, develop their 3D software skills, and celebrate technological advancement, took place this year in Houston, Texas from February 1-4. Complete with keynote speeches, hundreds of informational sessions, and an…

The ocean has never been an easy place to build. Depth, pressure, and limited visibility make even routine construction and repair complex and expensive, particularly for the infrastructure hidden beneath the surface. Rethinking Construction Beneath the Surface At Cornell University,…

CompagOs is dedicated to advancing bone health by helping researchers translate scientific discoveries into real-world applications, and ultimately, better treatments for patients. At the heart of its work are biologically reproducible Bon3OID™ in vitro bone models, produced using bioprinting. According…

We’ve been talking a lot about multi-material printing lately, and for good reason. The technology is advancing rapidly on both the maker and professional sides, from Bambu Lab’s and Prusa’s latest multi-material desktop systems to more experimental approaches. Now, researchers…
