3D printing news

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…

ASC and Austal have signed a new Memorandum of Understanding to accelerate the use of additive manufacturing across Australia’s naval programs. Announced at the 2025 Indo Pacific International Maritime Exposition in Sydney, the partnership focuses on strengthening the domestic AM…

A new chapter in performance cycling has opened with the debut of Speedform, a fully 3D printed titanium road bike developed by British manufacturer J.Laverack and supported by aerodynamic expertise from Loughborough University. Unveiled at the Rouleur Live show in…

Today is a special one: 3D Printing Day! December 3rd is a chance to celebrate the strengths of additive manufacturing, look back at its progress, and take stock of the market. To mark the occasion, we’ve highlighted a few key…

The manufacturing industry has changed its rules: it’s not a question of relocating production and finding the cheapest possible labor anymore, but rather of finding a faster and more agile local model. In recent years, due to the pandemic and…

The young company Advanced Additive is dedicated to optimizing extrusion-based 3D printing at the software level. Uncertainty during material deposition often leads to poor part quality and low repeatability. With its software Project Path, Advanced Additive aims to provide solutions.…

When pilots and astronauts go into flight, their bodies are pushed into environments far more extreme than anything experienced on the ground. To better understand how humans respond under these intense conditions, researchers at Texas A&M University, supported by the…

Aluminum is one of the most widely used metals in the world, yet it remains one of the most challenging materials for additive manufacturing. High thermal demands, alloy sensitivities, and complex workflows often push companies toward easier metals, even when…

The University of Windsor has begun 3D printing what will become Canada’s first net-zero, multi-storey student residence, marking a major national milestone in additive construction and sustainable building design. The project, which officially moved into its printing phase at 1025…

The slicer plays a key role in the 3D printing process, and many companies have developed their own software solutions to support this essential step. One of them is Elegoo, a company founded in 2015 that continues to grow in…
