The manufacturer has now begun to explore the possibilities of 3D printing. In collaboration with the Research Institute of Sweden (RISE), Pioner have developed a fully 3D printed version of their 4.2 meter long, Pioner 14 Active Darkline model. On the 16th of December, the motorboat was launched in Gothenburg and quickly proved seaworthy. Having up to this point only tested the boat in a pool, Pioner was unsure whether the boat would be able to endure the outdoor conditions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zuZaUq0L_Lw\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p><div class=\"dnati-inside-article-leaderboard\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"dnati-4137705011\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/app.swapcard.com\/login\/event\/additiv-defense-2026\/ticket\/VGlja2V0VHlwZV83MDM4MQ==\/page\/UmVnaXN0cmF0aW9uRm9ybV81NjE4Ng==\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"LB (4)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/LB-4.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"850\" height=\"150\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Top 2: The Digital Evolution of Dental Labs<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The most recent episode of Carbon\u2019s Ask an Additive Expert video series focuses on the applications of 3D printing in dentistry. The episode is hosted by Jamie Stover, CDT and Carbon\u2019s Senior Manager of Lab Applications. Stover discusses the best applications of 3D printing in the dental industry and how they have developed, as well as how the industry has benefited from embracing digital workflows and what to expect from them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PkaxgBTEw8Q\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Top 3: First Full-Size 3D Print of a Human Heart<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, a team of researchers developed a printing process called FRESH (Freeform Reversible Embedding of Suspended Hydrogel). Using a material called alginate, this method is able to reproduce the soft and elastic appearance of the heart\u2019s organ tissue. This makes it a far better medical tool for surgeons to practise than models made of impenetrable or hard materials such as plastic. This achievement is just the beginning, it is conceivable that drugs could be tested using similar models in the future, and maybe even one day serve be used in place of organ transplants\u2026 Further information about the research project can be found in the video.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_rfeCSQxDBg\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Top 4: 3D printed world class fake masterpieces<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Factum Arte is a company based in Madrid, Milan, and London that specialises in the conservation of cultural artifacts using new technologies.

Many new companies have emerged hoping to make it in the sector, while many more existing companies have begun to embrace the technology, including KFC, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/kfc-3d-printed-chicken-210720205\/\">attempting to bio-print chicken nuggets<\/a>, and its rival, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/mcdonalds-3d-printing-010420195\/\">McDonald\u2019s<\/a>, hoping to additively manufacture burgers. But for now, this new technology has not met with great commercial success.
