For most of its history, desktop 3D printing has been a technology business. Companies competed on speed, accuracy, build volume, temperature, materials and reliability. Buyers compared specifications because the machines were mainly bought by makers, engineers, designers and other technical users. But that is starting to change. Desktop 3D printers are getting easier to use,

We are in the middle of a major manufacturing shift focused on the production speed and payload capacity of uncrewed aerial systems (UAS), or drones. A recent Manufacturing Dive article puts the 2025 drone market at $15.6 billion, and there are no signs that domestic or international defense initiatives will slow anytime soon. And yes,

Prusa Research is offering a new hot end for its Core One 3D printers. The new high-temperature hot end can go up to 400 °C. The swappable hot end can be taken out without the use of tools in under a minute. The company says that the nozzle is meant for ASA, PC Blend, PC

Australia´s Additive Manufacturing Cooperative Research Centre (AMCRC) has been joined by Edith Cowan University (ECU). This makes it the 12th university to join the AMCRC. Effectively, AMCRC is Australia Makes, and on a similar mission to spread 3D printing down under. AMCRC Chair Susan Jeanes said: “AMCRC is creating a national ecosystem that connects manufacturers

Dirk Simon had deep experience in materials and chemistry before joining the 3D printing industry. Instrumental in BASF and Farsoon’s market introduction, Dirk has spent a lot of time thinking about how to build and create new businesses and products. Now he runs his own firm, Square New Business Exploration, where he aims to help

On September 5, German space startup Isar Aerospace achieved a major milestone, for its own reputation and for the entire space industry in the European Union (EU), when it executed the first successful launch from continental Europe. Around the same time, The Exploration Company (TEC), a German-French company, announced a $450 million Series C, the

In 3D printing, the printer determines how a part is made — the material determines what can be made. Rather than another general-purpose material, the new ANTINSKY lineup answers specific requirements: heat resistance, chemical resistance, flexibility and print efficiency. The launch covers two categories: engineering filaments PPA-CF30HT and PPS-CF; flexible TPU filaments TPU85A and TPU95A-HS;
