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.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has patented a laser melting system that uses a digital mask to expose entire areas of the metal powder bed in parallel, replacing point-by-point scanning and reducing production times.

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.

ADDMAN expands its fleet with 81 new HP Jet Fusion 5620 Pro printers, surpassing 125 MJF systems, and signs a $10.8 million contract with 6K Additive for the supply of Nickel 718 alloy powders.

3D-printed lattices made with conductive resin become distributed sensors: electrical tomography reconstructs the map of internal damage in real time. Study by the University of Glasgow published in Advanced Functional Materials.

Titomic USA has been awarded a $4.95 million contract by the US Air Force for an industrial High Pressure Cold Spray system to be installed at Tinker Air Force Base, with delivery expected in the third quarter of 2027.

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.

PrusaLab developed a carbon fork for a competition handbike with Jan Tománek, using 3D printing for prototypes and iterations over ten months. The final component is not printed but made of composite, with 3,500 km of testing.

CADProps is a web service that allows you to view, measure, and convert CAD files (STEP, IGES, and native formats) directly in the browser, without installations. It is not a parametric CAD, but a tool for quick checks and inspections.

Stratasys presented the F870 at IMTS 2026, a large-format FDM platform for industrial production, with a build volume of 1000 x 610 x 610 mm and a heated chamber. The system is already in use at Rivian and Toyota.
