For many years, LEHVOSS has made specialized 3D printing materials such as high-temperature polyamide and high-flow PEEK. Now it has teamed up with MORSAN to develop a 3D printing offering for the food and beverage industry. Specifically adapted to parts with “mechanical loads, aggressive cleaning environments, and permanently high cycle rates in filling and packaging […]
WoolyFil uses wool-based colorants to color filament. Companies Wool Source, which makes pigments from wool, partnered with filament firm KiwiFil to develop pigments with around 92% to 98% biobased content. In this case, the sustainability angle is important because pigments are often made from inorganic (mineral-based) and organic (carbon-based) compounds, while most modern-day pigments are mostly
This is Part 1 of a two-part PRO series examining where infrastructure investment is flowing and how those trends are reshaping manufacturing, energy, logistics, and additive manufacturing. Part 2, by Matt Kremenetsky, will focus on data centers, AI infrastructure, and where additive manufacturing fits into that rapidly expanding ecosystem. Over the past few years, infrastructure
A shift is underway in drone manufacturing. Government programs like the U.S. Department of War’s Drone Dominance, a $1.1 billion effort to deliver low-cost, one-way attack (OWA) sUAS at scale, are driving urgent demand for drones that are inexpensive, resilient, and rapidly producible. Or the US Army’s recent “Best Drone Warfighter Competition,” which was recently
Shipbuilding giant Austal USA recently announced the launch of the Digital SEA (Secure Exchange for Additive) platform, which should play a major role in expanding accessibility to the sorts of capabilities that Austal USA and the US Navy are developing at the Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence (AM CoE) in Danville, Virginia. Chief among those
High-performance 3D printing materials company Tectonic 3D has bought the 3D printing materials portfolio of Solvay. The Syensqo portfolio, including PEEK AM Filament MS NT1, PEEK CF10 LS1, PPSU, NT1 HC, and CF10 HC materials, will now be offered by Tectonic. This marks another exit of a big materials company from additive manufacturing. Solvay AM-ready filament.
Stratasys (Nasdaq: SSYS) started 2026 with lower revenue and a larger loss as customers continued to slow down spending on new 3D printers. Still, the company pointed to stable recurring revenue from materials and customer support, along with continued growth at Stratasys Direct, its parts manufacturing business.

A POV, or Point of View, camera rig, is a wearable support system that helps filmographers capture first-person footage, making the images more immersive. Some good examples of movies shot with POV cameras include horror films The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity, and Cloverfield. Unfortunately, these rigs aren’t foolproof. The camera setup itself either gets in
