3D printing news

The promise of construction 3D printing has long focused on speed and automation. Increasingly, a new advantage is taking center stage. Instead of standardized, carbon-heavy cement, researchers are exploring bio-based and locally sourced alternatives. The Mexico-based collective Manufactura is contributing…

In a previous analysis of 2025 3D printing trends, we mentioned how the defense sector is showing increasing interest in additive manufacturing, to the point of integrating it as a key technology in its operations. A new application for the…

Additive manufacturing is becoming increasingly popular in robotics because it enables the design of flexible, customized, and more efficient devices. As new materials become compatible with a wider range of 3D printing processes, the possibilities continue to expand, making it…

In aerospace additive manufacturing, you expect the story to start with rockets. This one starts with an ink cartridge. Years before working on aerospace antenna systems, Garrett Hawkins was a high school student measuring a printer cartridge with calipers, recreating…

3D printing continues to establish itself as a key tool in architecture and interior design. The latest example comes from Canadian brand lululemon, which has chosen large-format 3D printing to create new architectural elements for its retail stores. Specializing in…

A team of Chinese scientists has unveiled its DISH 3D printing process, reportedly achieving complex millimeter-scale objects in just 0.6 seconds while maintaining high resolution. In other words, no more trade-off between speed and precision. While it is still early…

It’s almost unrealistic to think that additive manufacturing can achieve this level of detail, don’t you think? And yet, you’re not dreaming: technology makes it possible to recreate body parts, skin models, and organs that are extremely faithful to reality.…

The renowned Wohlers Report is finally available: the 2026 edition marks its 31st anniversary and remains a key benchmark for the additive manufacturing market. More than 1,200 responses were collected from 570 companies worldwide. According to this international study, AM…

You may remember Sanjay Mortimer as the co-founder of E3D and as a figure who played a pivotal role in standardizing the hotend ecosystem. By developing a system of interchangeable parts, Mortimer helped move FDM printing toward a more modular…

Color 3D printing has been gaining ground in recent years, attracting more users looking to expand their creativity. However, this should not add complexity to the printing process. In fact, users are looking for simplicity, with practical solutions that are…

Most likely originating in ancient Rome, Valentine’s Day is a celebration of love, celebrated, as you know, on February 14. So, we’ve put together some ideas for STL files that you can 3D print at home. Whether it’s for your…

This is major news for the entire maker community and the 3D printing market as a whole: MyMiniFactory has acquired 100% of Thingiverse. The popular free 3D file platform was previously owned by UltiMaker, following several strategic shifts between MakerBot…
