In 2026, 4.0 automation integrates AI, IoT, and flexible robotics for end-to-end production chains. Scalability, traceability, and hybrid skills are essential for competitiveness.

Automation, sensors, and AI are transforming 3D printing into efficient production: fewer supports, in-house recycling, real-time monitoring, and intelligent software for optimized workflows.

Additive manufacturing 2026 is mature: advanced materials, AI and digital twin enable serial production in aerospace, automotive and medical. Challenge: scaling with cloud software, widespread skills and rigorous standards.

Automation and AI in 3D pipelines: from Ergono3D to Velo3D, printing costs and times are reduced, including qualification and cybersecurity.

Industry 4.0: 3D printing, AI, digital twin, and robotics merge into open ecosystems, transforming production, supply chains, and skills.

In 2026, additive manufacturing exits the pilot phase: aerospace, automotive, data centers, and oil & gas adopt it into true production, but slowly. The winner integrates processes, not just sells machines.

Intelligent software, low-code automation, and cloud optimize business workflows: they eliminate bottlenecks, integrate legacy systems, enable real-time monitoring, and transform measurement data into strategic insights for quality and resilience.

New Metal X and Gauss MT90 technologies eliminate direct metal dust management, reducing risks and infrastructure costs in additive manufacturing.
