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…

Check out the Top 5 Videos of the Month! We begin with 3Dnatives uncovering the most surprising and innovative discoveries from Formnext 2025. Next, 3D Monotech showcases how large scale additive manufacturing is redefining sustainability and safety in the marine…

With 3D printing expanding and advancing daily, new jobs are constantly emerging. Have you ever thought about working in additive manufacturing? Or are you already an expert seeking a new challenge? Either way, we’ve collected five of this month’s most promising…

Imagine a future where a medical facility can take a patient’s CT scan, rapidly 3D print their blood vessel model, test how their blood responds, and even use AI to predict their risk of stroke years in advance. This is…

The West Midlands Police force in the United Kingdom recently began to introduce 3D printing into its fleet workshops after one technician’s home project revealed a faster and more flexible way to produce custom vehicle components. The move is already…

Every year at Formnext you feel the pulse of where the industry is heading, and 2025 was no different. Walking the halls, a few applications genuinely stopped us in our tracks. They were clever, ambitious, and in some cases a…

China’s push toward next-generation propulsion reached a major milestone this month as the country’s aviation engine group announced the successful first flight test of its newly developed 3D printed “minimalist” turbojet engine. The achievement signals a significant step forward for…

Most people think of mosquitoes as pests, not as tools for next-generation micro-fabrication. Yet researchers at McGill University have shown that the proboscis of a deceased female mosquito can serve as a biodegradable micro nozzle for high-resolution 3D printing. With…

3D printing has evolved from hobbyist workshops to industrial production lines and classrooms across Canada. As the technology continues to evolve, it has changed how Canadians design and build. However, as this tech becomes more accessible, so does the awareness…
