As additive manufacturing moves into production, the conversation is starting to change. Instead of asking whether a part can be printed, manufacturers are asking whether they can print it the same way every time. More often than expected, the answer…

Additive manufacturing promises lighter parts, complex geometries and faster production for aerospace. But in aviation, printing a component is the easy part. Proving it will survive in operation is what determines whether it is ever approved for service. A component…

Over the past decade, Raise3D has established itself as a key player in professional polymer 3D printing. Initially known for its FDM systems, the company has progressively expanded its portfolio to address a wider range of industrial needs, entering the…

Manufacturing Technology Project (MTP) is an American start-up dedicated to developing engineering tools. These tools combine artificial intelligence, multiphysics simulation, and digital twins to optimize manufacturing processes and predictive modeling, with the ultimate goal of offering autonomous production control. Its…

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…

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.…

Personalization is one of 3D printing’s biggest promises, yet in medical applications it’s still slowed down by long lead times and heavy post-processing. PERFI Technologies is flipping that script. Instead of building parts layer by layer, the startup uses volumetric…

CompagOs is dedicated to advancing bone health by helping researchers translate scientific discoveries into real-world applications, and ultimately, better treatments for patients. At the heart of its work are biologically reproducible Bon3OID™ in vitro bone models, produced using bioprinting. According…

As desktop 3D printing continues to expand across fields such as design, education, dentistry, and small-scale manufacturing, users are increasingly looking for solutions that go beyond hardware alone, with materials, reliability, and workflow simplicity becoming just as important. ANTINSKY operates…

3D printed implants have already demonstrated huge potential in the surgical space. These implants are customized for patients, can reduce operating times by hours, and improve overall operational success. Today, we’re featuring a company entering that space: OsseoLabs. A finalist…

In October 2025, Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa, Israel, marked a world first with the successful transplantation of a fully 3D bioprinted corneal implant, created entirely in the lab from living human cells. Developed by Precise Bio, the implant was…

Last October, U.S. troops demonstrated just how far additive manufacturing has come by successfully 3D printing drone parts inside a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter mid-flight. As the aircraft carried out tactical maneuvers, the printer continued to operate, producing functional components…
