Company news, funding, mergers, and earnings across the additive-manufacturing industry.
Chromatic 3D Materials has leased space at Camp Ripley to build an on-site propellant print lab paired directly with live-fire test infrastructure, collapsing the gap between additive propellant fabrication and validation.
Read the story →ICON delivered the first of ten robotically printed Army barracks at Fort Bliss on July 29, the largest robotic-construction deployment in DoD history, printed in 58 days at roughly 9% below conventional cost.
America Makes has awarded $10.5 million to 25 teams to build a standardized qualification pathway for defense metal 3D printing suppliers, expanding its JAQS-SQ network to 31 companies.
During CJLOTS 26 in Pohang, South Korea, Marine maintainers reverse-engineered and printed a $12 strainer for a $600,000 Coast Guard boat in under half a day, replacing what is normally a 2-3 week parts wait.
Airbus has qualified Roboze's ARGO 500 HYPERSPEED platform, printing unmodified ULTEM 9085 filament, to produce flight-ready secondary structural aircraft parts.
New Mexico State's NSF-funded DREAM Research Center just ran its third annual AMPD workshop, teaching K-12 educators to model, slice and operate 3D printers — and finding that the software, not the hardware, is the real wall.
Nagami and Zaha Hadid Architects have released the ECHO Chair, a made-to-order seat printed as a single continuous piece via large-format extrusion in recycled PETG, priced from EUR669 to EUR1,231 depending on color.
Under the AFRL-funded Project ACME, Youngstown's JuggerBot 3D is scaling the H6-106 — a large-format system that runs pellet-fed thermoplastic extrusion and two-part thermoset dispensing inside one heated chamber to build aerospace tooling.
RIC Robotics and Sacramento builder K4k Construction completed the city's first permitted 3D-printed building, a 1,200 sq ft ADU whose wall system was printed in 12 days — a marker of autonomous construction crossing from demo to occupied home.
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.
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.
