During these procedures, doctors place non-biological materials in their bodies, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/3d-printing-metals110420174\/\">metals<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/ceramic-3d-printing-170420194\/\">ceramic<\/a>s. These artificial body parts eventually disintegrate, requiring further surgery for the patient. However, the American company Epibone offers an alternative; it has reportedly developed a method of bioprinting\u00a0 from stem cells to develop bone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1OOMZwC1nkI\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Top 2: Additive manufacturing solutions of Renishaw<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Knust-Godwin is a Texas-based precision machining company specialising in the manufacture of large and complex parts for the oil &amp; gas sector.

In addition, the use of 3D metal printing allows Knust-Godwin to reduce the number of waste and the entire post-processing phase:<\/p><div class=\"dnati-inside-article-leaderboard\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"dnati-3250807011\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/eu.snapmaker.com\/products\/snapmaker-u1-3d-printer?utm_source=3dnatives&#038;utm_medium=pr&#038;utm_campaign=u1launch2025&#038;utm_content=u1preorder\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"850 x 150px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-600x106.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-1200x212.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-768x136.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-1536x271.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-2048x361.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-160x28.jpeg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" width=\"850\" height=\"150\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p7lAUlDFt5M\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Top 3: 3D printing on Mars?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Life on Mars soon possible? NASA has organised a challenge around the use of 3D printing to build sustainable homes on Mars. The design and architecture agency AI SpaceFactory won the grand prize of $500,000 to design homes on the Red Planet. The agency has made several prototypes from materials that would be found on Mars directly, thus promoting local and autonomous manufacturing. It also wants to recycle these prototypes to build houses on Earth, while waiting for the first inhabitants to arrive on Mars:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EPYBIafS-_8\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Top 4: 3D Printing Notre Dame&#8217;s Spire?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dimensional Innovations, a Kansas City-based sign design and fabrication firm, recently acquired a $2.2 million large scale 3D printer by Thermwood &#8211; the printer has a build volume of 3 x 6 x 1.5 meters.\u00a0 Equipped with a five-axis router, the large scale additive manufacturing machine is capable of printing large-scale objects and parts from reinforced thermoplastic composite materials.
