Addireen presents the third generation of the XH-M350G-2HR, a dual green laser LPBF system for pure copper. The upgrade focuses on productivity, optical stability, and uniformity in prolonged cycles, with a build volume of 350 × 350 × 550 mm.

3D printing is being applied to water infrastructure to address obsolete facilities and inefficiencies. In the United Kingdom, the Printfrastructure project produces concrete components for water treatment.

The 3D printing sector grows in Q2 2026, but the results of publicly traded companies are uneven. Competitive pressure on margins and leadership, with SpaceX influential on Velo3D.

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.

IMTS 2026 highlighted the growing integration between industrial robotics and 3D printing, with FANUC as a key player and cases such as Athena 3D Manufacturing, where a CRX robot automates plate changes and nearly doubles production.

A Chinese team has developed an automatic system that detects and corrects stringing in FFF 3D printing in real time, combining computer vision and closed-loop control to intervene during the process.

Impossible Objects has closed a $40 million Series B round to expand production of additive manufacturing systems for composites, aiming to produce up to 10,000 drone bodies per month for the American army.

A scoping review on resin 3D printing indicates that VOC peaks often occur in post-processing phases, such as washing with isopropanol and post-curing, not only during printing. Safety must be designed for the entire workstation.

Phrozen Sonic Mighty Revo 16K MAX is a 14-inch MSLA printer with a build volume of 302.4 × 161.98 × 300 mm, designed for large and long prints. The format reduces pixel density compared to smaller models, despite the 16K label.

SNAP3D: from image to glue-free assemblable 3D printing A system developed at Carnegie Mellon University generates 3D models from a single photo and makes them physically assemblable. Six objects were printed in PLA and manually assembled without fasteners. 3D generators based on artificial intelligence

3D-printed foundations for the new Hemavan chairlift: optimized infrastructure in the mountains

In the ski resort of Syterbyn, in northern Sweden, 3D printing of concrete finds an unprecedented application: robotic foundations for ski lifts. The Hyperio project

Photocentric's JENI: when 3D printing challenges injection molding in high volumes

British company Photocentric presents an automated production platform that promises to produce hundreds of thousands of components per day. The goal: to compete with injection molding on
