3D printing news

Metal additive manufacturing is no longer a technology in waiting. The global metal AM market is projected to grow from $6.02 billion to $7.02 billion in 2026 alone (Research And Markets). According to the 2026 Wohlers Report, metals revenue (including…

Can 3D printing bring extinct birds back from the dead? Colossal Biosciences is betting on it. Last week, the Dallas-based biotech firm announced it had successfully hatched 26 healthy chickens using highly complex artificial eggs: a critical proof-of-concept for their…

The Singaporean startup Castomize has developed a 4D-printed cast that addresses the drawbacks of conventional casts: itching, sweating, irritation, and the inability to get wet. Their solution leverages the properties of smart thermoplastics, allowing the cast to be molded precisely…

Sheyn means “beautiful” in Yiddish. Aesthetics are at the heart of Nicolas Gold and Markus Schaffer’s work, so much so that they chose this word as the name for their design studio. Their approach blends architecture and design to reveal…

As major athletic brands continue expanding their use of additive manufacturing, the 3D-printed footwear market is shifting beyond aesthetically driven lifestyle shoes toward high-performance athletic applications. TPM3D announced that it has reached a significant milestone with the industrial-scale integration of…

Metal additive manufacturing has long been associated with high costs and complex infrastructure, keeping the technology out of reach for all but the largest industrial players. A new generation of manufacturers is now working to change that. Among them is…

High blood pressure is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease worldwide. For many patients, standard drug treatments are not sufficient. Researchers at Penn State University may have found a potential solution in a small bioelectric implant made using…

Additive manufacturing is expanding into more and more fields, and with it, new materials are being tested. One of the most promising is concrete, especially in residential construction. incremental3d has been dedicated to this type of 3D printing since 2017.…

The German hypercar manufacturer Apollo Automobil recently revealed that its new Apollo EVO supercar has a stunning feature: tucked under the hood, there’s “dragon skin” exhaust pipes that were made possible thanks to additive manufacturing. The impressive part was entirely 3D…

A house made of plastic? We’ll admit, it’s a rather surprising concept, especially at a time when society is trying to reduce plastic consumption. But in this case, the material being used is recycled plastic. So what exactly is this…

3D food printing began in 2006 with the Fab@Home, a printer developed by Cornell University that could only work with chocolate, cookie dough, and cheese. Since then, the technology has evolved into a digital production method applied to issues as…

3D printing’s path to industrial scale has run through aerospace tolerances, medical implants, and automotive lightweighting. It has also, less famously, run through mannequins. The demand for faster collections, smaller batches, and more sustainable production in the display and visual…
