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%.

2026 will be a key year for 3D printing: the AMUG in Reno (March 15-19) offers 150 technical sessions, competitions, awards, and courses on AI and industrial qualification, to update skills and build networks.

AI and 3D printing merge: MeshyAI and Creality democratize production, accelerate industrial repairs, and reduce waste, but require new skills and regulations.

La stampa 3D rivoluziona l’edilizia: case in 5 giorni, materiali che catturano CO₂ e costi ridotti. Progetti europei e militari dimostrano velocità, sostenibilità e adattabilità, ma norme e tecnologie sono ancora in evoluzione.

Industrial 3D Printing: United Utilities cuts emissions by 50%, FieldFab prints in flight, Bath eliminates PFAS. Fast, green, on-demand solutions for water, defense, hydrogen.

3D Scanners and software 2025: faster, cheaper, and smarter. Smartphones become scanners, scan-to-CAD bundles discounted, AI guides the user. Goal: trust, not just price.

PrintPal, AI platform with 100k users, eliminates CAD barriers; new resins without supports and free courses make 3D printing truly for everyone.

xTool and Bambu Lab donate machines and funds to communities for local innovation, 3D printing, and open-source environmental sensors: technology, sustainability, and participation for resilient communities.

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.
