We’re starting with standards in this weekend’s 3D Printing News Briefs, as ASTM has re-launched its Advanced Manufacturing Division as the Critical and Emerging Technologies (CET) Division. Then we’ll move on to research, first with 3D printed electronic skin for prosthetics, and then an animal study in regenerative medicine. We’ll finish with cookies 3D printed
HeyGears G1X Series, the world’s first desktop full-color 3D & UV printer, has now surpassed $15 million on Kickstarter, backed by a growing global community of creators, makers, artists, and businesses. By bringing full-color 3D printing, UV printing and fabric printing together in one expandable desktop platform, the G1X Series is opening up more possibilities
Nothing else in the global economy quite compares to Taiwan’s share of the global semiconductor market. There are other cases of geographic concentration, involving critical materials and components, where certain countries (almost always China) may hold even higher percentages of worldwide market share, but at least two things make Taiwan’s chip dominance rather unique. One
For manufacturers trying to win more space and defense work, adding 3D printers is only part of the challenge. They also need to make the same parts to the same standards across different locations. Quickparts is putting money behind that idea. The manufacturing services company is adding 12 Stratasys NEO800+ stereolithography (SLA) 3D printers across
Denmark’s 3DCP Group has built 36 3D printed student apartments as part of its Skovsporet project in Holstebro. Designed by SAGA Space Architects and MS+, the project is a single-story, community-focused place near VIA University College. Printed with a COBOD BOD3, the apartments were “designed as a complete home, with a kitchen, study area, lounge,
In today’s 3D Printing News Briefs, we’re starting with a partnership regarding additive manufacturing quality software. Then we’ll move on to a defense acquisition and a trade secrets misappropriation case. We’ll end with patient-specific 3D printed ankle implants. amsight Provides AM North with AM Quality Software Solution amsight, which develops software for data-driven quality assurance and
Dutch firm 3devo is a pioneer in desktop filament makers. Where other players make tools for makers, 3devo is the filament maker that your filament company, polymer company, or local university uses. Research labs all over the world use 3devo’s machines to make test batches of innovative filaments or dial in production batches. To date,

AML3D’s (ASX: AL3) growing U.S. defense business helped push revenue to a record for the financial year that ran from July 2025 through June 2026. The Australian metal 3D printing company also reached EBITDA profitability for the first time during the second half.

Prusa Research has implemented a major update to PrusaSlicer. The 3.0 version is not some tweak; it’s a big rewrite. From the get-go, the Alpha version I tested was light-years faster than previous PrusaSlicer versions. It just opens rather than urging you to get a coffee. It’s much more responsive, much easier to work with,
In a previous example, we looked at Cathy’s 3D printed braces business. She dropped $350,000 on machines and equipment, and the tiniest tiny difference in packing density collapsed her business. Now of course its not only that low price of $50 that was killing Cathy’s business, its the fact that its spread out over this
