Whether you're looking for a mirror-finish chrome or the structural integrity of copper, electroplating allows you to transform ordinary plastic prints into high-end metallic masterpieces.
Icon is no longer the only one who gets to run Icon's printers. The Austin-based construction technology company has announced the commercial availability of Titan, opening up its multi-story robotic concrete printing system to external parties.
Leveraging the same Carbon DLS 3D printing technology as the Adidas 4DFWD, Hybex’s new HX Lens features a patented 'Helix' lattice structure to maximize energy return, the company says.
BMW’s transition to automated, open-material additive manufacturing moves beyond prototyping to a fully integrated production ecosystem, potentially replacing traditional machine tooling with 3D printing across the entire vehicle lifecycle.
FabRX’s desktop 3D printing platform is rapidly scaling across the United States through new strategic partnerships, moving custom drug manufacturing out of industrial centers and directly into local independent pharmacies.
Forget proprietary hardware—this open-source project from Sunnyday Technologies uses standard NEMA motors and generative design to bring pallet-scale concrete printing to your workshop.
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.
Signed into law yesterday, the U.S, National Defense Authorization Act includes the new restrictions on 3D printer procurement, as it calls for streamlining qualifications of 3D printed parts.
