The 'Monolith One' is a laser powder bed fusion 3D printer with 24 kW of laser power, which Divergent plans to use for defense and automotive part production. No, it's not for sale.
By backing Norsk’s wire-fed titanium process, the U.S. is testing whether additive manufacturing can solve real bottlenecks in maritime manufacturing.
Looking to 3D print with stronger-than-metal PEEK polymer? Our updated guide covers the material and the best 3D printers for the job.
Navigating America Makes’ collaborative project calls is becoming the defining strategy for securing a piece of the nation's surging additive manufacturing funding calls.
Designing garments based on body data — from curves and sweat zones to sun exposure — Laura Civetti and Juan Daniel Cabrera Cobo, with additive manufacturing partner Stratasys, generates textile patterns tuned to the wearer’s needs. This design research project is part fashion, part performance gear, and part glimpse of a future where your clothes don’t just fit — they respond. Printed on a Stratasys PolyJet 3D printer in 18 pieces then assembled.
Nike is testing a new initiative that uses additive manufacturing to create a flexible, digital platform for limited-run sneaker designs and customer personalization.
This hybrid solid-state manufacturing method bypasses laser-melting limitations to slash production lead times for complex aerospace components.
This new additive material offers food-processing plants a rapid, cost-effective method to produce custom gaskets, seals, and production-line parts at fraction of the time of traditional manufacturing.
After a 3D printed turbine prototype successfully passed a grueling six-year continuous operational test, the ORNL-backed technology is now ready to scale, offering a cost-cutting blueprint to unlock clean energy at thousands of U.S. dams.
By integrating Meltio’s metal wire DED technology, Italian specialist Eurobearings is replacing weeks of traditional machining and welding with days of additive manufacturing to repair and produce massive industrial components.
Aridditive, a Barcelona-based company specializing in 3D concrete, just 3D printed the full renovation of Sutton Barcelona, one of Spain’s most iconic nightclubs. The company manufactured 340 functional concrete elements off-site, including sofas, staircases, bar counters, walls, and a DJ booth, then installed them as part of a seven-week refurbishment that would have taken roughly five months using conventional methods, the company says. More proof that digital fabrication can handle high-design commercial interiors on a nightlife timeline, not a construction one.
Cadillac’s Formula 1 team is hit he accelerator before it even hit the pavement, deploying seven of 3D Systems’ SLA 3D printing systems to speed parts development ahead of its 2026 Formula 1 debut. The team is used 3D Systems’ large-format resin 3D printers, software, Accura materials and Application Innovation Group expertise on tool-free manufacturing that cut weeks of lead time and costs. Check out this behind the scenes video about the engineering process.
Our decision maker’s guide to the best metal 3D printers for small parts, batch manufacturing, and aerospace & defense. Plus, a metal 3D printing tech primer.
By coordinating 100 lasers across a massive 3,050 mm build plate, this ultra-large-format system for titanium, aluminum, steel and more, eliminates the need for welding rocket thrusters or structural aerospace parts.
From quick weekend projects to high-performance FPV builds: This all-in-one guide helps you choose the right 3D printing files, mastering the best filaments, and successfully launching your first 3D printed drone.
Alongside the compact MJF 1200 hardware, HP’s new 3D printing portal powered by Craftcloud offers instant, professional MJF parts to everyone—even those without a printer.
I spent three weeks testing these seamless, 3D printed lattice sneakers to see if they offer real-world support or if they’re just a high-tech novelty.
Forget stationary tripods and GPS limits: Artec 3D’s first SLAM-based mobile mapping system delivers rapid digital twins of almost any environment.
Commencing late 2026 and running through 2027, the contract sees the company's metal WAM-based tech printing five high-demand, non-safety critical components for live service trials. Printed in a Navy-qualified Nickel-Aluminum-Bronze (NAB) alloy, originals of the parts in question are no longer available or supported by the original manufacturer.
El Paso Makes is launching a cloud-based engineering platform to bridge the digital divide, providing regional small-to-medium manufacturers with the secure, high-tier tools required to modernize the U.S. Defense Industrial Base.
