American titanium manufacturer IperionX has released the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for its Titan Critical Minerals Project (Titan) in west Tennessee, confirming a mine plan designed to anchor a fully domestic U.S. titanium supply chain — one the company intends to route through its proprietary powder production technologies and into additive manufacturing (AM) markets. The…

The largest specialist event of its kind, AMA: Aerospace, Space and Defense, returns on July 9th. Additive manufacturing in aerospace and defense has entered a more demanding phase. The question is no longer whether metal AM, wire arc additive manufacturing, electron beam powder bed fusion, or advanced materials can produce impressive parts. The harder question…

Supplier of professional stereolithography (SLA) and selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printers Formlabs has introduced the Fuse X1, a large-format SLS ecosystem aimed at bringing industrial-grade powder bed fusion within reach of engineering teams, manufacturers, product developers, and service bureaus. Announced June 9, 2026, the machine is priced from $84,999, can be ordered immediately, and&…

Mastrex, a US provider of additive manufacturing systems, has launched the MX300, a new industrial metal 3D printer built on Laser Powder Bed Fusion technology. Priced at $185,000, the system is being introduced as the industry’s most affordable LPBF metal 3D printer. MX300 is aimed at manufacturers seeking precision, scalability, and dependable production performance across…

Metal additive manufacturing company Velo3D and Aurelia Technologies, a Texas-based developer of fuel-flexible, high-efficiency small-scale gas turbines, have announced a strategic partnership to expand the use of 3D printing in gas turbine systems. The agreement fits into Aurelia’s broader continuous-improvement roadmap, built around consolidating designs, iterating faster, strengthening s…

Researchers at the US Department of Energy‘s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed DuAlumin-3D, a 3D printable aluminum alloy engineered to survive temperatures far beyond the reach of conventional aluminum. Designed for high-performance automotive and aerospace components, the alloy went from concept to full-scale prototype automotive p…

Israeli firm XJet has formalized a Value-Added Reseller agreement with 3D-Werk Black Forest GmbH, positioning the Black Forest-based firm as the primary point of entry for German manufacturers looking to adopt the company’s NanoParticle Jetting technology.  The move grants manufacturers in aerospace, defense, and medical devices a local partner with hands-on evaluation capability, incl…

Norwegian additive manufacturer Norsk Titanium has signed a Cooperation & Research Agreement (CRA) with Airbus, moving their relationship from program-specific supply into a structured, multi-year industrialization effort. The agreement targets the qualification of Norsk Titanium’s proprietary Rapid Plasma Deposition technology for fatigue-critical structural titanium parts,  a category…

At the Baton Rouge refinery in Louisiana, ExxonMobil faced a recurring challenge: protecting instrument cabinets from oil contamination traveling up thermocouple wires. The component responsible — an anti-wicking device — had design limitations that made it expensive and slow to produce through conventional machining. Switching to Meltio’s wire-based Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) system, the…

Italian aerospace tooling specialist Eligio Re Fraschini partnered with robotic additive manufacturing company Caracol on a co-funded pilot project to test whether wire arc additive manufacturing could viably replace conventional methods for complex aerospace tooling components.  The target was a spar tool used in carbon fiber lamination processes, a component defined by tight tolerances, co…

Small modular reactor startup NX Atomics has announced a partnership with Sciaky, to apply Sciaky’s Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing process, known as EBAM, to components for NX Atomics’ SMR platform.The collaboration aims to reduce both the upfront capital cost and operating cost of SMR deployment by producing nuclear components faster, at lower cost, and in…

Machine tool manufacturer DMG MORI Federal Services (DMFS) has been selected for the US Defense Logistics Agency’s (DLA) Joint Additive Manufacturing Accelerator (JAMA) IV Pilot Parts Program.  The program’s performance period began February 25, 2026. For DMFS, the selection marks the company’s first project focused on AM parts production. DMG MORI has built its reputation…

Charles R. Goulding and Preeti Sulibhavi break down how federal additive manufacturing is moving from concept to battlefield-ready infrastructure, where 3D printed concrete and earth-based materials could soon replace tents with hardened, rapidly built military structures. The post Federal Additive Manufacturing Construction Moves From Experiment to Deployment: Key Insights From the AMC Webinar a…

Sandvik AB has announced the sale of its Additive Manufacturing business unit to Mimir, a Sweden-based global investment firm. The unit, which sits within Sandvik’s Machining business area,  produces metal powders for additive manufacturing, metal injection molding, and hot isostatic pressing, along with controlled expansion alloys for niche industrial uses. The transaction is expected…

Abstract Metallic devices are broadly employed as biomaterials, equating to 70-80% of implants globally, however, there is a critical need to develop devices with minimal failure rates with annual costs of revision surgeries estimated to be $1.62 billion in 2020. Additive manufacturing (AM) has been the lead disruptor in orthopaedic device fabrication as a result of […]

IMDEA Materials Institute welcomed a delegation from Abioinnova and Salamanca City Council earlier this week to explore potential collaborations in additive manufacturing technologies for the biomedical sector.

Belgian metal additive manufacturing company AnyShape has been selected as an industrial partner by Airbus Defence and Space for the Eurodrone program. The contract is not a prototype run or a technology demonstration. It covers sustained production volumes over multiple years, under the kind of aerospace-grade quality controls that have historically kept additive manufacturing at…

Voltage Vessels, a Hawaii-based startup founded by Sam Young, has submitted a six-meter 3D printed rigid hull inflatable boat for U.S. maritime defense evaluation, for potential integration into autonomous naval programs. The hull was printed using CEAD’s large-format additive manufacturing system, a Dutch industrial printer used by multiple defense contractors for hull-scale composite prod…
