In Holstebro, Denmark, Skovsporet, the largest 3D-printed residential complex in Europe, has been completed: 36 apartments in six buildings, with costs within the limits of Danish subsidized housing.

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.

The UK Ministry of Defence and Alloyed have brought a 1,100 N turbojet to flight-ready status in less than seven months, while the 300 N model is already in serial production. The programme aims at a family of propulsion systems from 30 to 2,000 N for uncrewed aircraft.

Elegoo introduces on Nexprint three tools for generating 3D models: Vase Generator and Nameplate Generator, based on parametric modeling, and Text & Image to 3D, which uses AI to convert text or images into printable geometries without CAD skills.

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.

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.

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

Creality launches the K3: four nozzles and waste-free multicolor printing

Creality has officially introduced the K3, a next-generation desktop 3D printer equipped with the four-nozzle KliTek system. The technology promises to reduce material waste by 85% and printing times
