Spectrum Filaments is a long-time high-quality filament supplier based in Poland. With good tolerances, roundness, and consistency coupled with affordable pricing, the firm has been a mainstay for makers, industrial users, 3D printing stores, and OEMs since 2015. I personally tested and evaluated them a few times over the last decade, and each time, the […]
The most interesting workforce trends in additive manufacturing have little to do with salaries and everything to do with where companies are placing their bets. One of the clearest signs that additive manufacturing is maturing is that its workforce challenges are beginning to look remarkably similar to those faced by manufacturing as a whole. Defense
DEEP Manufacturing is trying to build pressure vessels and marine habitats at scale with DED technology. Using commercial robot arms and wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), the company is hoping to make a validated, DNV-approved process that will lead to robust, certified pressure vessels at scale. If we look at subsea (a $30 billion industry)
China’s consumer 3D printer industry seems to be reaching a new level of global dominance. According to Chinese state media outlet China Global Television Network (CGTN), China exported 2.46 million 3D printers during the first four months of 2026, a 44.7% increase from the same period last year. The report also cited industry data indicating
Longevity hack or healthcare trend? The answer may depend on who you ask, but investor interest in personalized nutrition is growing as consumers search for the next longevity hack. Now, Rem3dy Health, the UK company behind the 3D printed nutrition brand Nourished, has raised £14 million ($18.7 million) in new funding as it looks to
As I described in a recent PRO article, the bulk of global investment is currently premised on a bet that an AI infrastructure buildout can eventually result in a workable balance between the old economy and the economy of the future. It will be quite some time before the general outcome of that proposition can
We’re starting with some exciting news in today’s 3D Printing News Briefs: Stratasys just celebrated the opening of its new North American headquarters in Minnesota. Moving on, Nanoscribe is scaling manufacturing capabilities for some of its most popular 3D printing photoresins, and RIC Robotics is working to scale adoption of autonomous additive construction. We’ll end
For decades, the nuclear industry has quietly experimented with and implemented additive. Bouyed by the likes of ORNL, companies such as Westinghouse have 3D printed components serially. We have an insightful podcast on the industry, and an overview article as well. A newer trend is that emerging nuclear energy startups are also using additive to
If 2026 has a theme in bioprinting, it may be blood vessels. Researchers can already print incredibly sophisticated tissues. The harder part is keeping those tissues alive. Without a network of blood vessels to deliver oxygen and nutrients, larger tissues quickly run into trouble. That challenge is at the center of a growing collaboration between
A previous Killer 3D Printing Applications article looks at tool voids and tool storage. With 3D printing, we can connect different sets and make cases to organize tools. We can have specific organizational systems for particular operations and find ways to speed up many operations and make them safer. But 3D printing, in hand with
