3D printing makes hydrogen safer for use in transportation by eliminating joints and improving the strength of metals.

Desktop 3D printing today offers industrial-grade precision at contained costs, but with limits on scale and speed. Solutions like the microArch S150 and its Ultra upgrade balance precision and throughput for R&D and pilot production. Entry-level post-processors like the M4 Basic improve finish, albeit with dimensional limits. The right choice depends on the specific use case.

3D printing can be sustainable with targeted choices. Additive-X demonstrates how: every kg of filament sold removes plastic from the oceans and offsets CO₂ emissions. Thanks to partnerships with Plastic Bank and Carbon Footprint™, in 2022, 64 tons of CO₂ were offset. Additive manufacturing reduces waste and emissions, especially with on-demand models and certified systems. Traceability,

The 3D market is splitting: on one hand, entry-level systems under 2.500$ are growing by more than 30%; on the other, high-end industrial platforms are struggling. Three sectors are driving demand: aerospace, defense, and healthcare. China is recording strong increases in metal PBF. Business models are differentiating: suppliers are focusing on specific segments to remain competitive. Future growth

Large-scale customization in the sports industry is made possible by 3D printing, which allows for the production of customized equipment without increasing costs.
