A 3D printing technology that Nano Dimension sold just five months ago is now being installed inside one of Israel’s largest defense companies. QTREX Quantum (Nasdaq: QTEX) bought Nano Dimension’s Additively Manufactured Electronics (AME) business in April. Now, one of its new customers, an unnamed Israeli aerospace and defense manufacturer, has begun deploying the technology. […]
Ukraine was saved by Turkish-made Baykar Bayraktar drones and many brave soldiers in the first stages of the conflict. Then hobbyists and their DJI Mavics showed how drones could be spotters for artillery and take out tanks. Then 3D printed Ukrainian drones did much to stop Russia’s advances in their tracks. Currently, Russia is incurring 1,298
Mastrex has launched a line of six metal LPBF printers starting at $39,000. Recently, the firm partnered with Continuum Powders to validate its metal powders on Mastrex machines. But the systems it makes are eerily familiar to some Chinese ones, while some of the company’s claims deserve a closer look. So, to what extent is

The US CIA director recently made an unannounced visit to Moscow that has naturally raised much speculation, while the EU and NATO have now officially accused Russia of being behind a drone incursion into Germany that took place at the beginning of August. The other day I wrote about signs, which have crept into the
Coming away from Formnext Asia Shenzhen 2026, my biggest takeaway wasn’t “how many new printers were unveiled”; after all, quite a few established traditional 3D printing brands didn’t show up. Instead, it was that 3D printing is gradually seeping into industries that previously paid it little attention. Looking at the exhibitor list alongside the technologies
Pip the Rabbit has a glowing belly and ears that wiggle when you press his paw. Inchy the Caterpillar crawls when you clap. Plate the Armadillo can curl himself into a ball, although getting him to do that took 11 prints. These are just a few of the residents of a very unusual petting zoo
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
