At the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol), the Centre for Print Research (CFPR) is using metal 3D printing to help grow gemstones directly inside platinum structures. The team is using a Meltio Engine integrated with a 5-axis HAAS CNC machine to build structures from platinum wire. With this hybrid system, the researchers […]
In a diversification effort, Continuous Composites has decided to seek work outside of the courtroom. The company that has been successful in defending its patent portfolio in composite 3D printing has gotten a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) US NAVY contract for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) parts. The company has previously received four
We’re starting off this week’s 3D Printing News Briefs with a little business from Axtra3D and Beehive Industries, before moving on to a scientific collaboration agreement between Roboze and a university in Rome. We’ll finish with research into 3D printing an important metal alloy, and 3D printing microneedles. Axtra3D Appoints New VP of Revenue and
Ngeria-based Arridex has deep experience in oil and gas additive manufacturing. Previously known as RusselSmith, the firm has in-house metal and polymer additive technology. The company is making 3D printed approved parts in polymer and has worked with BLT on metal LPBF and Spee3D on cold spray additive, and worked on a digital inventory solution as
Throughout the history of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, there are only a couple of really interesting case studies in which we see a market significantly disrupted and revolutionized by AM. That is to say, AM tech has, in many areas, been a bit of a slow burn. But there are a few where it has
This is Part II of a five-part series by AMPOWER, Gold Sponsor of Additive Manufacturing Strategies (AMS) 2027. For most of this industry’s history, the commercial task was to sell a 3D printer. The customer’s application was the customer’s problem. Any geometry could in principle be produced, so any inquiry was a legitimate inquiry, and
SprintRay‘s new U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared Midas Restore is a material for restorative dentistry. The ceramic-doped resin is meant for definitive inlays, crowns, and veneers. The resin has been optimized for the Midas Digital Press. The material is 75% zirconia and glass ceramic, designed for “resistance to occlusal wear, lasting polish, and natural

Iran has captured an autonomous Anduril Dive-LD underwater drone. The 5.8-meter-by-12-meter drone is used for ISR and possibly demining operations. But through a 3D-printed payload area, it can be converted to support different payloads. The drone can be submerged for up to 10 days and travel to depths of 6000 meters. The US says that
Earlier this year, Mainz Biomed, a Netherlands-incorporated company headquartered in Germany that trades on the NASDAQ, changed its name to Quantum Cyber and shifted its business focus from stool-based colorectal cancer screening kits to 3D printed drones. Scoff if you’d like, but this is actually a pretty conventional business pivot in 2026. As for Mainz
So far, most service bureaus and manufacturing companies stick to what they know. Not only for OCD reasons, but gleaming lines of identical LPBF machines are also arrayed on impossibly clean floors, equidistant. It looks lovely, of course; everything feels in order, in its place. And by following one general machine architecture and one company’s
