3D printing news

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…

According to a study published by Verified Market Research, the resin 3D printing market is on track to reach $37.4 billion by 2031, growing at a rate of 16.4% between 2024 and 2031. This momentum reflects a thriving sector, but…

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…
