In 2026, record investments in industrial 3D printing: +51% hardware revenue, China boom +221%, defense and water infrastructure projects with CO₂ savings up to 501%.

3D metal printing revolutionizes military drones: lighter, more efficient components certified for critical missions, reducing weight and operational costs.

3D metal printing: Gauss MT90 safe and compact, new Al alloys, holographic lithography for chips, automated Meshy workflow, recognition by USA as critical infrastructure.

Industrial 3D printing is mature: SLA at large scale, advanced materials, and safety standards are driving aerospace, defense, and construction. Cost reduction, digitalization, and multi-material capabilities are the keys to scaling.

Industrial 3D printing in 2025 surpasses prototyping: Asia on the rise, costs -60%, multi-material components, redesigned supply chains, and on-demand production even in space.
