Nourished produces 500,000 custom 3D gummies per day. Raised £14 million to expand in the USA, India, and the Middle East. Proprietary seven-layer technology and algorithms generate unique formulations from an online questionnaire. Scalable model between e-commerce and pharmacies.

Comparison between Craftcloud, Xometry and HP MJF Service for on-demand additive manufacturing. No absolute winner: the choice depends on volumes, delivery times, total costs and certifications. For small batches, outsourcing is more economical, while in-house production is only worthwhile above specific volume thresholds.

Bambu Lab A2L: consumer 3D printing with a volume of 330×320×325 mm and speeds up to 500 mm/sec. Open bed-slinger architecture to keep costs down, but with structural criticalities. Ideal for cosplay, prototypes, and bulky objects without assemblies.

Advanced configurators integrate geometric analysis, DFM, and AI to transform CAD models into reliable production decisions. They prevent errors in real-time and guide even non-experts toward solid technical and commercial choices through 3D visualization.

Logistical resilience is more critical than the availability of raw materials for supply chain security. The distance between production and consumption is the greatest risk. Strategic reserves of materials such as tungsten and production localization reduce the risk of downtime and ensure continuity for supply chains.

AI in industrial automation requires rethinking the entire production flow. Real value emerges when artificial intelligence operates along the entire chain, overcoming the limited approach to single machines and local optimizations in additive manufacturing.

In 2026, 3D shoes become industrial reality: Zellerfeld, PollyFab and others offer production platforms, AI design and dedicated materials. From custom footwear to orthopedic soles, the industry abandons experimentation for scalable models and digital customization.

Digitizing industrial components for 3D printing in a few hours is possible with real-time visual feedback scanners, automatic mesh cleaning, and parameters aligned with the printer. A method that reduces errors, iterations, and the learning curve.

New automated systems like DyeMansion's Powershot and AMT's PostPro solutions make MJF/SLS post-processing accessible to small labs, reducing costs and processing times.

Automating the post-processing of resin improves precision and repeatability. A modular workflow adapts each phase to the specific parameters of the material, reducing errors and manual times. The integration between the printer and washing/curing stations enables certified, traceable, and scalable flows, ideal for professional and biocompatible applications.

The cost reduction of key components such as lasers and light engines is democratizing additive manufacturing, allowing access to metal 3D printers under $10,000. This change is redefining market dynamics, shifting the focus from hardware to services and adaptability to specific use cases. Modularity and standardization allow new realities to com

Prusa releases the CORE One CAD files under the new open-source OCL license, which allows modifications, sharing, and internal use, but prohibits direct sale without an agreement. Discover what you can concretely do with STEP and Fusion 360 files.
