Metal 3D printing is moving beyond factories and workshops — and directly onto ships at sea. During RIMPAC 2026, an advanced manufacturing team demonstrated the ability to manufacture metal…
Artificial intelligence can propose new materials at extraordinary speed. But there’s still a major challenge: how do you turn those digital predictions into real materials that can actually be…
Large-format metal additive manufacturing is moving deeper into aerospace and defense as 3D Systems receives an additional $9 million to continue development of its GEN-II DMP-1000 metal 3D-printing platform.…
When a race car suffers a major crash, repairing the visible damage is only part of the challenge. Before the car can safely return to one of the world’s…
A small aircraft component became impossible to source individually. Instead of continuing to replace an entire assembly, Lufthansa Technik turned to metal 3D printing. The problem involved a polymer…
The U.S. Marine Corps is demonstrating how advanced manufacturing could transform military logistics by allowing equipment to be produced much closer to where it is actually needed. During Valiant…
Researchers are exploring a new way to make four-legged robots more efficient by redesigning one of the most basic parts of the machine — its feet. A research team at Seoul National University of Science and Technology has developed 3D-printed porous robot feet designed to absorb energy when a robot’s foot strikes the ground and…

Imagine printing an object that doesn’t have to stay the same shape after it leaves the printer. Researchers in South Korea and the United States have developed a programmable…
3D printing is moving beyond prototypes and small accessories and into an unexpected space: camper van interiors. UK-based Buckley Conversions has created a camper conversion in which much of…
3D printing is helping researchers investigate cancer at the cellular level. Researchers at Rowan University are using 3D cell printing and biomaterials to recreate controlled environments where bone cancer…
