Sheyn — a name meaning “beautiful” in Yiddish — reflects the central role of aesthetics in the work of founders Nicolas Gold and Markus Schaffer. Their Vienna studio combines architecture and product design to highlight the beauty of everyday objects, guided by a single idea: thoughtfully designed objects make life more beautiful. Sheyn’s collection of … Read more
The additive manufacturing sector is back in the spotlight with a major transaction that reshapes a well-known chapter of the market. Nano Dimension has signed a definitive agreement to sell Markforged to Stratasys in an all-cash deal valued at $42.5 million. According to the companies’ press releases, Markforged generated about $70 million in revenue in … Read more
High blood pressure is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease worldwide, and many patients do not respond adequately to standard drug treatments. Researchers at Penn State University have developed a promising bioelectric implant created with 3D printing that may offer an alternative for drug-resistant hypertension. Named CaroFlex, the device is produced by 3D printing a … Read more
Whether we like it or not, 3D printing produces waste: failed prints, purge lines, support structures, and parts that no longer meet expectations. For years most of that plastic ended up in the bin. The industry, makers and researchers have been looking for more sustainable alternatives—ways to recover, reprocess and reintegrate discarded plastic into the … Read more
Jet turbine engineers require materials that can endure some of the most extreme environments—temperatures above 2,000°F (about 1,100°C) and prolonged exposure to stress and corrosion. For years, no off-the-shelf alloy printed by metal additive manufacturing reliably met those demands. The solution emerged from NASA Glenn Research Center as GRX-810, an oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) superalloy … Read more
What if a machine could match human dexterity while maintaining the repeatability of a robot? Manual post-processing of 3D-printed parts is often tedious, time-consuming, and inconsistent. To address this, Rivelin Robotics, supported by the United Kingdom’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), has developed robotic systems that automate finishing for defense and other demanding applications. … Read more
Metal additive manufacturing is no longer a future prospect — it is an expanding industry. The global metal AM market is projected to grow from $6.02 billion to $7.02 billion in 2026. According to the 2026 Wohlers Report, metals revenue (including powder and wire) rose 15.3% year-over-year in 2025. As infrastructure and supply chains scale, … Read more
3D food printing began in 2006 with Fab@Home, a device developed at Cornell University that initially worked with chocolate, cookie dough and cheese. Since then the technology has evolved into a versatile digital production method tackling issues such as food waste, sustainability and personalized nutrition. The basic principle remains the same as other 3D printing … Read more
German hypercar maker Apollo Automobil has unveiled a striking new feature on its Apollo EVO: a one-piece, 3D-printed “dragon skin” exhaust. Manufactured by additive processes in titanium, the exhaust took more than 123 hours to print. Apollo says this represents the largest single-piece printed exhaust to date, produced using advanced laser sintering techniques. Built from … Read more
Additive manufacturing continues to expand into new areas, and innovative materials are being tested across industries. Concrete is emerging as a particularly promising material, especially for residential construction. incremental3d has specialized in concrete 3D printing since 2017. Founders Georg Grasser and Johannes Megens began collaborating on additive manufacturing and concrete while at university, and they … Read more
