Stratasys won a $27.6 million jury verdict against Bambu Lab in one of the 3D printing industry’s biggest patent fights. A federal jury in Texas found that four Bambu Lab-related companies infringed four Stratasys patents. The jury also rejected Bambu Lab’s argument that the four patents should not be considered valid. The verdict came on […]
Exhibitor lists tell you who is investing in floor space. Conference programs can tell you something different: what the market is ready to talk about. That makes TCT Shenzhen 2026 worth a closer look. Moving from Hall 3 of the Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center in Futian to Hall 15 of the Shenzhen World Exhibition
If critical minerals processing were easy, then countries other than China would still be good at it. Amongst all industries, miners and processors of critical minerals face extraordinary opposition in the form of Not in My Backyard (NIMBY) sentiments, particularly in nations where political officials have to concern themselves with getting re-elected. But rather than making
The rapid proliferation of low-cost drones is forcing manufacturers to rethink their approach to design, production, quality, and scale. For defense manufacturing teams, the challenge is both how quickly a component can be produced and whether it can be validated, inspected, traced, and scaled with confidence. Based on conversations I’m having with leaders across the
The UK’s Ministry of Defense has worked with Alloyed to develop a 3D printed, UK-made turbojet engine. From idea to testing took seven months. The duo will make a family of turbojets for different platforms. They now want to scale up engine production and will use over 100 staff to do so. The idea was

UMaine’s Advanced Structures & Compsites Center Launches 3D Printed Boat University of Maine researchers launched 3Dirigo X, a high-performance 3D printed boat that’s
Back in 2016, Vietnam abandoned plans to build its first nuclear power plant, with the government viewing the market conditions surrounding electricity demand as being no longer conducive to the project. In late 2024, Vietnam reversed that earlier reversal, and is now aiming to complete a pair of nuclear power plants, the Ninh Tuan 1
FDM 3D printing is becoming increasingly accessible, yet metal 3D printers designed for everyday desktop use remain rare on an ordinary workbench. The real challenge is not making a metal printer small enough to fit on a desk. It is redesigning powder handling, environmental control, and post-processing that have traditionally required specialist knowledge around safety,
