3DEXPERIENCE World, an event that brings together SOLIDWORKS users to connect, develop their 3D software skills, and celebrate technological advancement, took place this year in Houston, Texas from February 1-4. Complete with keynote speeches, hundreds of informational sessions, and an…

The ocean has never been an easy place to build. Depth, pressure, and limited visibility make even routine construction and repair complex and expensive, particularly for the infrastructure hidden beneath the surface. Rethinking Construction Beneath the Surface At Cornell University,…

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…

We’ve been talking a lot about multi-material printing lately, and for good reason. The technology is advancing rapidly on both the maker and professional sides, from Bambu Lab’s and Prusa’s latest multi-material desktop systems to more experimental approaches. Now, researchers…

What if cranial malformations could be treated without surgery, directly at their genetic source? An Italian research team has developed a promising therapeutic strategy to address craniosynostosis, a condition characterized by premature fusion of the skull sutures in infants. The…

Lunar regolith—the loose dust and rock covering the Moon’s surface—is far more than just dirt. It is comprised of approximately 40-45% oxygen. Since 2019, the company Metalysis has collaborated with both the UK and European Space Agencies to extract this…

In late December 2025, a research group in China published a comprehensive review on an emerging material in the microneedle landscape: natural polysaccharides. While these “complex carbs” are derived from simple plant, animal, and microbial sources, their potential for 3D…

While 3D printing saves material by only depositing it where it is needed, it still generates waste. What do you do with failed prints, filament scraps, or parts you want to throw away? The young company Creative3DP, led by Priyank…

Ceramic additive manufacturing is no longer limited to prototyping and is gradually establishing itself as an industrial production solution. Designed to meet stringent performance and reliability requirements, today’s ceramic AM processes now leverage advanced materials suited for demanding environments. In…

Imagine being able to tune the properties of metal, making it either resistant to force but brittle, like a ceramic tile, or yielding yet bendable, like a paperclip. Achieving this level of control requires precise manipulation of a material’s internal…

One small step for man, one giant step for 3D printing in free space: SpaceX launched its first Twilight rideshare mission of 2026, including an experiment testing whether a structure can be manufactured directly in space using 3D printing. The…

Large-format FDM 3D printing has moved well beyond niche or experimental use, with a growing number of manufacturers now offering machines capable of producing substantial parts in a single print without stepping into industrial price ranges. In this context, large-format…
