PharmaTher has obtained exclusive rights for North America to the CraftMake 3D drug printing platform, aiming for a distributed on-demand production network with up to 50 installations in 12 months among pharmacies, hospitals, and manufacturers.

Bambu Lab has launched the Make for Good contest on MakerWorld: 24 design briefs for 3D-printed assistive aids, proposed by seven assistive technology organizations. The challenge is open until December 2026.

Researchers at NTU Singapore have developed a 3D-printed bone scaffold that releases amoxicillin in the early stages to control infections and then stimulates vascularization and bone regeneration through copper ions and hydroxyapatite.

The University of Waterloo has developed a platform that combines corneal topography, digital design, and DLP printing to produce custom rigid contact lenses in 15-20 minutes, targeting complex clinical cases such as irregular corneas.

Morriston Hospital in Swansea has standardized a complete digital workflow for 3D-printed titanium thoracic implants, from CT to production. Six patients were treated without intraoperative modifications and without hardware failure during follow-up.

VulcanForms appointed Jeff Hemenway Chief Revenue Officer on September 18, 2026. The company aims to transform production capacity into long-term industrial programs, following its $220 million funding in January.

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.

Dou Yee Technologies integrates the HP Metal Jet platform into its production cycle with a Metal Binder Jetting program launched in October 2025 with HP and NAMIC. The first qualified materials are 316L and 17-4PH steels.

TTT Group announces the largest investment in its history: a new HIP division with a Hiperbaric HIP 107, operational from 2027, for the post-processing of critical components in aerospace, energy, and metal additive manufacturing.

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.

Guide Dogs has launched the First Hello pilot programme in Great Britain, which turns ultrasound scans into 3D-printed tactile models for blind or visually impaired parents, responding to a need for greater inclusivity that emerged from a survey.
