In the current global economic context, which is being shaped primarily by national leaders trying out new forms of geopolitical leverage on a daily basis, advanced manufacturing partnerships between American and Japanese companies would seem to be a no-brainer. It’s a decent trade-off for both sides: the US gets to work with businesses that have […]
EOS is joining the MAT‑H2 consortium. MAT is an EU-funded group that aims to do research into a hydrogen-led economy. The thinking is that hydrogen will be a clean energy source for industrial processes and many transport applications. The consortium is studying how metals, coatings, and manufacturing processes behave in hydrogen environments, with the goal

Two barracks have been 3D printed at Texas’ Fort Bliss, and another eight will be completed by September. The barracks were printed by ICON, which got $62 million for the 10 barracks. In 2024, ICON made several test structures and a test barracks. The military then conducted extensive testing on walls and the overall structure.
Drone manufacturer Modovolo has selected Lyten as the primary filament supplier for its industrial 3D printing platform, a move the companies say will strengthen U.S.-based manufacturing for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. At the center of the partnership is Modovolo’s BFP (Build. Fly. Print.) platform, a modular, containerized 3D printing system designed to produce large
Kris Kleven has spent decades in engineering. First, he did demanding engineering projects for Schlumberger, Emerson, and others in the oil and gas industry. Later, he worked at NBC Universal and other firms in theme parks and Oshkosh in heavy-duty vehicles, and now he does engineering with his own firm. Given his deep flow and
The second half of July brought major developments across Asia’s additive manufacturing sector. Highlights included India’s first private orbital launch powered by 3D printed engines, a billion-yuan ownership change at a Chinese cold-spray AM specialist, Korea’s first certification for metal AM repair, and continued momentum in consumer hardware and footwear.

There’s a version of Coachella most people never see. Not the stage. Not the crowd. Not even the music. It’s everything built around it: the spaces where artists host, brands activate, and experiences are designed down to the smallest detail. Looking back at this year’s festival, one of the most interesting examples of 3D printing
We’re starting with the winners of two America Makes project calls in this first 3D Printing News Briefs of August! Then we’ll move on to AM quality control for aerospace, and research from the University of Waterloo. We’ll finish with some interesting 3D printed chairs. Read on for all the details! America Makes Announces Winners
A few weeks ago, I visited Professor Alexander Kaplan at Luleå University of Technology. Originally from Austria, Kaplan has spent more than 20 years at the university working on the physics of lasers, welding, and additive manufacturing (AM). While reviewing his recent research, I came across a paper from his group on something that sounds
Connector manufacturer TE Connectivity now uses 3D printing for catheter shafts. These medical device components are now lower in cost thanks to additive manufacturing. Catheters are often coated in polymer jackets, with different thicknesses, lengths, and materials being used at different areas of the catheter.
