Recent reporting on the UPS MD-11 engine separation on Flight 2976 has understandably focused on the immediate question: what happened? The investigation will determine that, as it should. Serious engineering incidents deserve facts, not speculation. But stories like this tend to provoke a broader reflection inside engineering organisations. Because experienced engineers know something the headlines

Creality 3D (HKEX: 3388) was officially listed today on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, becoming the first consumer 3D printing company to debut on the Hong Kong market. Creality issued 73,427,550 H-shares, raising net proceeds of approximately HK$1.272 billion. The offering was 3,829 times oversubscribed, with shares opening at

Qualification is an indispensable step on the path to legitimization for any new technology, but it’s still just one step: markets tend to remain unswayed without a co-sign from an established corporate giant. TSMC spent years qualifying its semiconductor manufacturing process in order to land its deal with Apple, which would, ultimately, permanently change the

Chinese 3D printing company HeyGears raised more than 300 million Yuan (roughly $44 million) in a new Series C funding round as it looks to expand beyond its industrial and dental roots into the consumer market. The funding was led by Legend Capital and Fortune Ventures, with participation from Gopher Asset Management, CAS Investment Management,

For decades, manufacturing has mostly been controlled by countries with huge factories, lower labor costs, and industrial systems that took years, sometimes decades, to build. But Utrecht University human geographers Nicola Cortinovis and Joric Donnet believe 3D printing could start to change some of that. In a new study, they found that countries adopting 3D

In today’s 3D Printing News Briefs, America Makes announced the winners of its JAQS-SQ Project Call. Axtra3D is partnering with Keystone Industries to expand its dental material ecosystem, while BigRep and Endless Industries have announced a strategic partnership to advance large-format AM with continuous fiber reinforcement. We’ll end with bioprinting research out of China. America

This article is Part 2 of a three-part series based on 3DPrint.com’s visit to nScrypt’s Orlando headquarters and conversations with Ken Church. Walking through nScrypt’s facility in Orlando last summer, what stands out isn’t just the machines — it’s the people running them. Engineers move between screens and systems, adjusting toolpaths, watching material deposit in

SHINING 3D is moving forward again with its plans to go public in China, after restarting its Beijing Stock Exchange (BSE) initial public offering (IPO) review process and filing updated financial materials with regulators. The Hangzhou-based company, best known for its industrial and dental 3D scanners, had temporarily paused its IPO review earlier this year

A very long time ago, in 2023, the additive manufacturing (AM) industry was enraptured over the attempts by a large chunk of its publicly traded original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to acquire one another. Ultimately, none of those initially floated deals went through, although one of the players in the fracas, Nano Dimension, did eventually take

It’s Triggy is a YouTube channel showcasing engineering builds and how-tos. From testing whether wood glue is stronger than wood, to how to make polynomial curves, and how to make a rocket from office supplies, it errs on the side of nerdy. Triggy took umbrage at a commercially available multi-channel pipette system, which cost $18,000. Pipetting robots come
