1 week ago | 3dprint.com | Vanesa Listek

Spanish multinational Meltio announced that South Korea’s Marine Corps Logistics Group has just become the first military unit in the country to roll out robot-based metal 3D printers powered by its wire-laser technology. This move marks a new milestone for Meltio. Its technology has already been validated by the U.S., French, and Spanish armed forces. Now, with support from South Korea’s military, Meltio is growing in Asia and expanding its role in global defense.
EOS Partnership Brings 3D Printing Power to India’s Aerospace Sector

1 week ago | 3dprint.com | Vanesa Listek

India’s aerospace industry is starting to lean more heavily on 3D printing, and one of the country’s biggest engineering companies is teaming up with 3D printing leader EOS to make that happen. Godrej Enterprises Group, which builds key parts for India’s rockets and satellites, has signed a deal with EOS. The goal is to bring additive manufacturing (AM) into more parts of India’s aviation and space supply chain.
How Farsoon's Metal 3D Printing Brought a 100-Year-Old Motorcycle Back to Life - 3DPrint.com

1 week ago | 3dprint.com | Vanesa Listek

Visitors at this year’s RAPID + TCT event in Detroit got to see an unexpected showstopper at Farsoon’s booth: a beautifully restored, vintage-inspired motorcycle known as the Pennsylvania 8. Nestled among industrial-grade printers and high-tech displays, this classic beauty stood out not only for its design, but also for the high-tech upgrade behind its restoration, all thanks to metal 3D printing.
Continuum Powders Turns Siemens Scrap Into High-Value 3D Printing Material

1 week ago | 3dprint.com | Vanesa Listek

Over the last five months of 2024, Continuum Powders turned almost one ton of nickel scrap per week from Siemens Energy into high-quality metal powder, the kind used for 3D printing in critical industries like aerospace and energy. That is a powerful shift toward a circular, more flexible supply chain. It all started with a problem most manufacturers face: leftover metal parts with nowhere to go.
amsight Secures Funding and Lands Key Partnership to Power Smarter 3D Printing

Software startup amsight just hit two major milestones: it raised early funding and struck a strategic partnership with one of Germany’s top metal 3D printer makers. The Hamburg-based company completed its pre-seed round for an undisclosed amount with backing from five investors who bring not only capital but also deep experience in additive manufacturing (AM), finance, and sales.
Project Nexus to Use 3D Printing to Build Greener Bioreactors

2 weeks ago | 3dprint.com | Vanesa Listek

A new UK-based collaboration uses 3D printing to change how bioreactors are made and used, focusing on reducing waste and making the biopharma industry greener. Launched with £1.9 million ($2.5 million) in funding from the UK government’s agency supporting new technologies, Innovate UK, Project Nexus brings together a team of researchers and companies to create greener, reusable versions of single-use bioprocessing equipment, such as bioreactors.
Daring AM: 3D Printed Guns Go From Homemade to Heavily Watched

2 weeks ago | 3dprint.com | Vanesa Listek

As law enforcement intensifies its efforts and agencies roll out new regulations, 3D printed guns are becoming a bigger part of the ghost gun conversation. In March 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a federal rule treating ghost gun parts, including those made with 3D printers, like regular firearms. That means kits and parts used to build these untraceable weapons at home must now follow the same rules as store-bought guns, including background checks and serial numbers.

The decision is part of BICO’s plan to focus on what it sees as its core business: lab automation and specific workflows in life sciences. Acquired by BICO in March 2021, MatTek makes 3D tissue models that let scientists test drugs and cosmetics without using animals.
RAPID 2025: 3D Systems Rolls Out Smarter Tools for Real-World Production

2 weeks ago | 3dprint.com | Vanesa Listek

At this year’s RAPID+TCT event in Detroit, 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD) is making a strong statement: additive manufacturing (AM) is not just about new materials or machines, but also about solving problems in specific industries. To that end, the company unveiled three major developments to reduce cost, increase speed, and make it easier for manufacturers to adopt 3D printing for tough jobs like tooling, casting, and low-volume production.
