3D printing news

The additive manufacturing industry has received further validation from the aerospace sector. Houston, Texas-based hypersonic startup Venus Aerospace has officially closed a $91 million Series B financing round. Led by the venture capital firm Mercury Fund, the round saw participation…

A stone board used nearly two millennia ago by the inhabitants of Roman Britain has been given a new lease on life thanks to 3D technology. The project was developed by researchers at Newcastle University in collaboration with the Vindolanda…

The text on the pages of this book, Manual, isn’t a traditional story. Look closely, and you’ll see it’s G-code, the machine language used to control 3D printers. Created by Studio Darius Ou with Benson Chong through their research initiative…

Every year, the oil industry generates a surplus of sulfur that no one quite knows what to do with. Removing it from crude oil is required by environmental regulations, but its main industrial use (the production of sulfuric acid) is…

The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has successfully demonstrated the first tangible output of the federal Genesis Mission with the creation of Aires Tide: an AI-designed, 3D-printed flight test vehicle. Initiated back in November 2025 via a presidential Executive Order,…

The Anantara Dhigu resort in the Maldives has just installed 13 3D-printed clay structures in its lagoon, aiming to bring new life to an ecosystem that has been at risk for years due to coral bleaching. The project, called Theyra…

The promise of additive manufacturing has always been design freedom, yet engineers frequently face complex, manual design processes to turn a concept into a manufacturable part. The Zurich-based software startup nureo is changing this by bridging the gap between advanced…

For many Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) users, moisture is an invisible but persistent challenge. It can lead to stringing, weak layer adhesion, rough surfaces, and inconsistent print quality. Rather than requiring users to dry filament separately before every print, SUNLU’s…

You might not be familiar with curcumin, but you certainly know turmeric: the vibrant spice native to Southeast Asia. Curcumin is the active chemical compound within turmeric responsible for giving it that iconic bright yellow hue. Extracted from the Curcuma…

The plastics landscape is shifting rapidly, and with it, the boundaries of industrial production. For companies in the additive manufacturing sector, the intersection between traditional plastics processing and 3D printing has become a core strategic alignment. As the global manufacturing…

As you probably know by now, the term additive manufacturing encompasses a number of innovative technologies that enable parts to be manufactured faster and with fewer materials than subtractive manufacturing methods. However, it is not infallible. Indeed, for each printed…

Summer officially arrived just a few days ago, bringing with it long evenings, beach trips, and time spent outdoors. Whether you’re spending a weekend by the water or just soaking up the sun in the backyard, a 3D printer can…
