If you can get your dog to stand still long enough to measure its paws with calipers, Finnish startup Bark & Sole has a treat for you: custom 3D printed dog shoes. These are engineered to fit each pup’s unique paw geometry (yes, even ankle circumference and dew claw placement), breed quirks, and gait mechanics, the company says. It's all about making sure Fido’s footwear doesn’t flop, twist, or fall off. Shoes range roughly from $40-$200 and ship worldwide.
By integrating medical-grade PEEK into its established digital workflow for cranio-maxillofacial implants, Materialise offers surgeons an alternative to titanium.
Velo3D and Army engineers will begin printing and validating alternative spare parts for the U.S. Army Tank and Automotive Command (TACOM) supply chain to relieve current sustainment bottlenecks.
How a specialized four-person team at Robins AFB is leveraging 3D printing and reverse engineering to manufacture critical metal components that are no longer in production.
With €25 million in new funding and innovative 3D printing techniques, researchers and startups are now achieving 98% efficiency in electric motors—while slashing the need for critical and rare minerals.
in a refreshingly tactile twist in an age of algorithmic everything. The BBC has opted for 3D printers and painstaking craftsmanship in its Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics coverage promo. The trailer, "Trails Will Blaze", is a lovingly stop-motion world built from hundreds of individually 3D printed athletes skating, skiing, and tumbling across miniature Italian mountains. Watch the making of the promo here.
Research proves that a 3D printed redesign of a traditional oil industry device can consolidate complex assemblies into a single, high-performance part.
From 60% faster material testing to critical submarine components printed at sea, the U.S. Navy is moving past experimentation to build a self-sustaining, 3D printed frontline.
A Washington State proposed law would mandate that 3D printers have 'blocking technologies' to identify and stop firearm parts before they're created.

By reprogramming a patient’s own cells into functional tissue, this multi-year research program aims to eliminate organ waitlists and the need for lifelong anti-rejection drugs forever.
By eliminating complex assembly and traditional lead times, this food-safe, single-piece nozzle demonstrates how additive manufacturing is ready for food manufacturing.
Just because it's PLA doesn't mean it's safe for food contact. See which ones actually are and how to use them.
With the concrete shells now printed—the last taking just five days—Denmark’s Skovsporet project moves toward final completion in summer 2026.
The printer is only half the battle. From carbon-capturing evoZero to local soil blends, we dive into the advanced material science that is finally making 3D construction viable.
Medical professionals and device manufacturers can now create patient-specific anatomically realistic models that behave like real tissue under CT or X-ray.
A few years ago, 3D printed bike saddles were met with raised eyebrows. Then the 2025 Tour de France champ cruised to victory atop one, and suddenly the future of bike seats felt very… printed. Now ENVE wants your hands in on the action. Its new 3DXC grips ($45) replace traditional foam with a 3D printed resin lattice promising more comfort and control than its molded counterparts.
Formlabs at Formnext will debut a new large cure machine, new engineering-grade resins, and updated software.
Robotic arm 3D printing – aka robotic additive manufacturing – is gaining ground as a flexible, efficient way to 3D print larger, faster, and cheaper.
Forget plaster casts and measuring tapes. Peel 3D's handheld scanners capture precise body data in minutes, unlocking a new world of custom-fit orthopedics, fashion, sports gear, and more.
