The practical additive manufacturing news brief. What matters, what's hype, and what it means for builders.
Unknown Host hosts Layer Lines Weekly, a science show with 18 episodes published.
Alex and Jordan profile Creality, the Shenzhen company whose cheap, hackable Ender-3 put 3D printers on millions of desks. They trace the line from the 2014 CR-3 to high-speed K series machines, a nozzle-changing printer
A record-shattering funding round for Hadrian lands with a curious lack of confirmation, Hyundai and Kia open a dedicated additive manufacturing center after 30 years of quiet practice, and Prusa refreshes its whole line
Alex and Jordan profile UltiMaker, the company stitched together from two desktop 3D printing pioneers that's now betting on factories, defense, and an open materials ecosystem. From open-source roots and the MakerBot me
Alex and Jordan profile Materialise, the Belgian veteran that decided decades ago that the money in 3D printing wasn't in printers. From Magics and Build Processors to custom PEEK skull implants, they trace how a 1990 fo
3DEO, Fusion3, and BigRep all wind down in the same week that Walter Reed lands the first FDA clearance for a hospital-printed cranial implant. Alex and Jordan sort the survivors from the science projects, plus HP's myst
Alex and Jordan profile 3D Systems, one of the oldest names in additive manufacturing, as it recasts itself around defense, healthcare, and dental production. From Figure 4 hearing aids to hypersonic metal parts and a Sa
Velo3D opens a massive metal AM campus in Livermore while defense money floods into additive — but does a big building mean big production? Plus: aerospace giants gang up on the F135 engine, the Navy prints metal at sea,
Alex and Jordan profile Prusa Research: from RepRap roots and the beloved i3 MK2 to enclosed CoreXY machines, the INDX toolchanger, and a licensing pivot that has the maker community arguing. Can the company that built i
Three companies exit additive manufacturing in a single week, and Alex and Jordan dig into what the shakeout actually means for anyone who prints. Plus: the Navy's at-sea printing exercise, BMW's refreshingly boring scal
We profile Bambu Lab, the company that turned 'it just works' into a market-leading strategy for desktop 3D printing. From the X1 Carbon to an integrated ecosystem, a Stratasys lawsuit, and an open-source backlash, we so
Auxilium says it bioprinted kidney and liver tissue on the ISS — we dig into what that actually proves. Plus Venus Aerospace's $91M detonation-engine round, Framatome's nuclear WAAM center, DAIHEN and EOS on the material
We profile Formlabs, the MIT-born SLA and SLS company that turned a Kickstarter desktop resin printer into a dual-technology manufacturing ecosystem. From the Form 1 to the $84,999 Fuse X1, we dig into its material moat,
An $8 billion space mega-deal gets sold as a win for 3D printing — but was it? Plus Velo3D's giant new metal factory, a defense-and-maritime AM surge, recycled scrap becoming LPBF powder, Bambu's 'safer' filament, and th
We profile Stratasys, the 35-year-old company that invented FDM and now sits in the middle of a high-stakes pivot from prototyping to serial production. From Scott Crump's original patent to a multi-technology portfolio,
Oak Ridge prints composites onto fabric and folds them into shape — claiming a 90% cost cut. Plus sand binder jetting for small foundries, Dow's tougher PLA, metal repair quadrupling bridge life, QinetiQ rescuing a Royal
Divergent unveils a twelve-laser metal printer and a defense super-factory, Beehive drops $50M on EOS machines, and the C-17 microvanes go fleet-wide. Plus Bambu's 'safe' filament, an open-source revolt against the cloud
TDK drops up to $400M on electrochemical metal printing for AI data centers, the US Air Force commits to fleet-wide 3D printed microvanes, and a tower-crane concrete printer makes some very tall promises. Plus a yeast-ba
New York's mandatory gun-blocking software for 3D printers raises huge feasibility and free-speech questions, with California close behind. Plus Bambu's $469 large-format A2L, Sandvik exits metal AM, Creality's billion-d
Alex and Jordan dig into the biggest AM deal of the year—Stratasys snapping up Markforged for just $42.5 million, minus the metal binder jet line. They also unpack a new dual-laser metal printer priced suspiciously low,
