The open-source RepRap project printed a 0.650 mm 3DBenchy in 13 hours with the Micron printer, which is still under development. It is the first test of its kind, with the goal of achieving a resolution of up to 0.001 mm.

BMF brings the microArch S150 3D printer to Europe, a compact system with 25 μm optical resolution and PμSL technology, designed for laboratories and production. Aimed at microfluidics, optical fibers, biomedical devices, electronics, and materials research.

ATLANT 3D has patented a multi-fluid printhead for atomic layer deposition, based on surface chemical reactions such as ALD. It offers atomic control of thickness, while lateral resolution depends on other factors.

Kupros launches Cu29, the conductive copper filament for desktop FDM printers
The American startup Kupros has developed Cu29, a fully metallic and conductive filament that can be printed on standard FDM 3D printers. The material, defined as “impossible” by some industry experts, has g

Stampa 3D integrata: due brevetti permettono di stampare circuiti conduttivi e schermature EMI direttamente nei componenti, eliminando assemblaggi e riducendo costi. Ideale per elettronica di potenza e automotive, anche se durata e uniformità dei materiali richiedono ancora validazione.

Ricercatori della Texas A&M University hanno sviluppato una tecnica rivoluzionaria di stampa 3D metallica a livello nanometrico. Il processo nPIMET usa elettroni caldi per costruire strutture metalliche sotto i 250 nanometri, senza maschere né supporti, con energia ridotta del 99% rispetto ai metodi tradizionali.

Tre mosse per localizzare l’industria: scegliere un settore tecnologico preciso, definire regole di trasparenza e collaborazione tra i player locali, e specializzarsi orizzontalmente su un segmento produttivo per economie di scala mirate. Ecosistemi industriali duraturi nascono da scelte concrete, non da visioni generiche.
