Company news, funding, mergers, and earnings across the additive-manufacturing industry.
Kalogon's new Verro line pairs a 3D printed variable-density elastomer lattice wheelchair cushion with something far rarer than clever geometry — Medicare code E2609, the thing that decides whether additive manufacturing reaches patients or just trade-show booths.
Read the story →At Farnborough 2026, Pratt & Whitney signed two additive deals for the F-35's F135 engine — GKN printing a full-scale engine case with laser wire DED in Norway, and Safran Aero Boosters plus BMT Aerospace tackling supply-constrained titanium parts in Belgium.
Lithoz reports a 40% jump in ceramic-materials revenue for H1 2026 and raises its full-year outlook, driven by print farms, resorbable implants, and Safran's adoption of LCM silica cores for single-crystal turbine blades.
Skyroot's Vikram-1 became the first privately developed Indian rocket to reach orbit, riding a fourth stage powered by a cluster of 3D-printed, vacuum-restartable Raman-1 engines that cut build time from months to days.
VACCO delivered a laser-powder-bed-fusion copper-nickel pressure valve cleared for US Navy submarine installation — and a second, independent supply chain is doing the same thing, which says something about where casting is losing.
USACE deployed six 3D-printed reef domes off Coden, Alabama — printed from sediment dredged out of a disposal facility, with a built-in experiment pitting pure-sediment domes against sediment-plus-shell.
Denver's RIC Robotics has deployed two autonomous printing systems at Cleora, a 106-home Colorado community where 65+ houses will be robotically printed alongside the county's first 3D-printed metro district.
A July 14 EFF analysis dissects New York's first-in-the-nation law forcing 3D printers and CNC machines to run firearms-blueprint detection before printing, and urges other states not to copy it.
AM Research logged $4.35B for Q1 2026, up 13.1% year over year — but the analyst credits defense procurement and supply chain reshoring, the segment figures don't sum to the total, and the methodology sits behind a $795 paywall.
Amid the largest RIMPAC exercise on record, the amphibious assault ship USS Essex is printing metal and polymer replacement parts at sea — including components no manufacturer still makes — to skip weeks-long resupply waits.
Adidas Basketball's $250 BB.01 pairs a 3D-printed lattice upper and midsole with a padded bootie, launching Project: R.A.P. in a scarcity-driven run of just 169 pairs worldwide.
Remote Area Medical's Mobile Digital Denture Lab uses 3D printing to turn a three-month denture wait into a 2-3 hour, same-day fitting — built in large part by a 22-year-old self-taught dental technology manager.
Free daily briefing — printer releases, materials, slicer updates, and the business of printing.
