Innovations 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.
Maker Essential guide to get started with 3D printing: choose an FDM printer, use PLA, set basic parameters, calibrate the bed, and proceed gradually to avoid errors and frustrations.
Manufacturing 3D metal printing: Gauss MT90 safe and compact, new Al alloys, holographic lithography for chips, automated Meshy workflow, recognition by USA as critical infrastructure.
Manufacturing Hi-tech filaments: graphene-reinforced nylon at 60 MPa, fire-retardant and food-safe, drive the new era of professional 3D printing.
Manufacturing AI and 3D printing merge: MeshyAI and Creality democratize production, accelerate industrial repairs, and reduce waste, but require new skills and regulations.
Innovations 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.
Manufacturing 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.
Innovations 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.
Maker PrintPal, AI platform with 100k users, eliminates CAD barriers; new resins without supports and free courses make 3D printing truly for everyone.
Manufacturing Stampa 3D rivoluzionata: nuovi polimeri, metalli e ceramiche permettono oggetti multi-materiale, personalizzati, sostenibili e pronti all’uso senza assemblaggi.
Innovations Bioprinting: In October 2025, the first 3D cornea was successfully transplanted. Low-cost technology for tumor biopsies. Towards custom organs and the end of waiting lists.
