There is no reason why artificial intelligence (AI) wonât radically impact 3D printing, according to Adrian Bowyer, the originator of the RepRap project. Bowyer, a TCT Hall of Famer, was discussing AI and 3D printing on the latest Additive Insight podcast, having previously delivered a presentation (âLook! A bandwagon! AI and 3D printingâ) on AI at …
A fledgling startup founded by one of OpenAI’s first engineering hires is looking to “redefine manufacturing,” with AI-powered factories for creating bespoke precision parts. Daedalus, as the company is called, is based in the southwestern German city of Karlsruhe, where its solo factory is currently housed. Here, Daedalus takes orders from industries such as medical …
As Australian company Gilmour Space Technologies launches from prototyping to production, it has selected EOS, a provider of metal and plastics AM solutions, as its primary 3D printing partner.

At the end of every year, Materialise says it reflects on the 3D printing industry asking, what will we see in the year to come? Normally, Materialise says the answer is the same: “The industry continues to grow.” This year Materialises suggests that 3D printing isn’t just increasing—it’s shifting. “We see shifting approaches. Shifting mindsets. Shifting markets. And …
Lithoz GmbH and the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory have signed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to use Lithoz’s 3D printing technology to explore the processing and additive manufacturing of non-oxide ceramics. Based on laaser-induced slipcasting (LIS) technology, the Lithoz 3D printer uses laser slurry drying, or net shaping, …
One of the dreams of the Star Trek universe, alongside jetpacks, holograms, and universal healthcare, is the food replicator. Imagine having a box in your home that can create any meal you desire at the touch of a button, without having to do any tedious preparation. While it may seem like a far-fetched idea, researchers …
