Colossal Biosciences has developed artificial eggs with 3D-printed shells and silicone membranes: 26 chicks have hatched. The technology aims to save endangered species and bring back the giant moa, whose eggs no living bird can incubate.

A new patent uses frequency control to optimize de-powdering in 3D printing: 30% reduced times, greater repeatability and transferability between machines. It requires sensors, but the ROI is 2-5 years for complex components.

LEAP 71 compares a classic nozzle and an aerospike of 20 kN in CuCrZr: the first is stable and efficient beyond 93%, the second at 50 bar but with startup criticalities. Mature nozzle for immediate missions, promising aerospike for multi-regime efficiency and reusable launches.

ESA is developing Smart Skin, an intelligent 3D-printed skin for space robotic arms. The flexible coating integrates thermal protection, sensors, and wiring for lunar and Martian missions, overcoming the limits of traditional insulation.

A photopolymerizable ceramic slurry formulation enables 3D printing of components with cooling channels down to 0.2 mm. DLP technology overcomes the limits of traditional bonding, opening new perspectives for wafers, micro-coolers, and laser mirrors. Scalability and material stability remain to be verified.

HyCAT, a Pentagon program, accelerates hypersonic aerodynamic testing with dedicated vehicles and commercial launchers, reducing time and costs.

3D printing is revolutionizing the production of RF components, enabling lighter antennas and integrated EMI shielding in electronic packages. Additive technologies improve efficiency, customization, and reduce weight, while posing challenges regarding materials and repeatability.

New patented method for thermal control in metal 3D printing reduces times by up to 47% and prevents defects caused by overheating, improving quality and repeatability.

Autonomous warfare requires integrated multi-domain systems, not just drones. The US DAWG program invests billions in sacrificial, modular platforms produced locally with technologies like 3D printing. The objective is to create rapid, scalable, and interoperable defensive capabilities, supported by advanced commands like SAWC. Priorities: distributed production, reduced costs, rapid qualification.

Additive manufacturing is transforming sectors such as aerospace and healthcare, where complex geometries and customizations offer tangible structural and economic advantages, confirming the mechanism of creative destruction.

3D bioprinting uses 15% GelMA and 0.5% LAP to create precise and reproducible tissue models. Photopolymerization at 405 nm and low/intermediate speed printing ensure high cell viability. The use of viscoelastic supports such as Pluronic allows for complex geometries without cell damage. Modular systems such as MagMix easily integrate existing platforms, improving

Additive production is revolutionizing military logistics, reducing supply times and costs. The Camp Lejeune model shows how targeted training and technological integration allow for the printing of critical parts in the field, saving up to 99.81% compared to traditional methods.
