MetalWorm Sells WAAM Systems to Research Institutes in Brazil and Malaysia

3 days ago | 3dprint.com | Joris Peels

Turkish WAAM firm MetalWorm has sold a system in Malaysia and another in Brazil. This is an excellent example of a few emerging trends in additive. Firstly, WAAM was experimented on by many before being abandoned by nearly everyone in favor of traditional cladding or DED alternatives. But, WAAM is back from the dead with Lincoln Electric, making good progress in pressure vessels and more.
Rocket Lab and Nikon SLM Solutions Sign MoU for New Large Metal 3D Printing Systems

3 days ago | 3dprint.com | Joris Peels

Nikon SLM Solutions has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Rocket Lab. The aerospace manufacturing firm wishes to reserve two new “ultra-large format metal additive manufacturing platforms.” This is great news for Nikon as it underscores the company’s commitment to innovating and raising the stakes. Many people were skeptical of the NXG system and its 12 lasers, only for Nikon to release an even larger system with an extended build volume.
Progress Group Innovates in Large-Format Binder Jet 3D Printed Construction

4 days ago | 3dprint.com | Joris Peels

There has been a lot of hype in 3D printed construction, but there has been very little innovation. Enrico Dini developed a binder-based process, Contour Crafting did kind of a shaping extrusion process, and there has been work in resins, but mainly people are extruding concrete. The main technological element of most 3D printed construction systems is a concrete pump, which is obtained from commercial vendors and married to a gantry, or a robot and nozzle.
UT Austin Taps Electroninks as Materials Supplier for DARPA AMME Program

5 days ago | 3dprint.com | Joris Peels

Electroninks is one of those companies that could change the way manufacturing works. The Texas-based firm makes conductive inks, and in copper, nickel, gold, platinum, and silver, these inks can be 90% conductive while also being safer and manufacturable at scale. We previously talked to their CEO Brett Walker on the 3DPOD, and the company’s journey, from taking money from In-Q-Tel to working with FujiFilm, Scrona, and Sakata, has been going from strength to strength.

Is there a 3D Printing Opportunity in Rare Earth Metals?

1 week ago | 3dprint.com | Joris Peels

For the past decade, voices have been heard exclaiming of a crisis in rare earths. Now, with Chinese restrictions on the exports of Rare Earths, a crisis foretold a thousand times has come to pass. Is there perhaps a role that 3D printing can play to alleviate this crisis? In some surprising ways, 3D printing may help to mitigate the pain of Rare Earths withdrawal. What are Rare Earths? And Why Do We Care? Rare Earth Elements are not earths and not rare.
Nike’s 3D Printed Air Max 1000 Drops Summer 2025—and Influencers Already Have It - 3DPrint.com | The Voice of 3D Printing / Additive Manufacturing

Ukrainian Researchers Partner with NSF, US Navy to Turn Debris Into New 3D Printed Buildings

1 week ago | 3dprint.com | Joris Peels

Ukrainian researchers have started a project to try to turn waste from demolished buildings into new 3D printed ones. This is especially relevant in Ukraine, where tens of thousands of buildings have been destroyed by Russia’s war on the country. But, it is also very applicable worldwide. There is a lot of embodied energy, water, and CO2 in existing buildings. Commonly, they are blown up or demolished, and the waste is then carted off to landfill.
