Manufacturing Industrial 3D printing scales volumes and speeds: SLA and FDM XXL, advanced materials, Industry 4.0 automation, and new frontiers in tooling, construction, and aerospace.
Manufacturing Metal additive manufacturing is growing thanks to new high-speed technologies and materials for extreme environments, with applications in aerospace, defense, energy and nuclear fusion. Goal: lighter, more efficient and certified components.
Manufacturing 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%.
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 revolutionizes military drones: lighter, more efficient components certified for critical missions, reducing weight and operational costs.
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.
Manufacturing Graphene and open-source co-extrusion revolutionize 3D filaments: strengths up to 900 MPa, sustainability, and democratized access for industrial production.
Manufacturing 3D Printing 2025: ceramics for hydrogen, recycled steel, CNC-AM hybrid. Reduces waste 97%, times 72h, costs 800€/kW. Challenges: regulations, certification, training.
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.
