Last year @Walmart partnered with @Alquist3D to print an 8,000 sq. ft. expansion to a Tennessee Superstore, & was planning over 200 more #3Dprinted additions. The plan is moving forward with Alquist, & it's made some additions to its core business model to support the initiative.

On this year's @Forbes 30 Under 30 North America list, a few innovators stand out for their use of #3Dprinting, like the founder of Verustruct for better #3Dprinted housing, & the founders of Craitor for their rugged, portable #3Dprinter designed to work in extreme conditions.

The Guam Additive Materials & Manufacturing Accelerator (GAMMA) joint project of @ASTROA_org & the Government of Guam should be operational in Q1 2026. The @coschoolofmines opened its first satellite campus, on @UOGTriton grounds, which should be a big part of ASTRO’s GAMMA work.

The Catalonia @IREC_Energia has opened a new pilot plant that uses #3Dprinting to make advanced ceramic devices, called solid oxide cells (SOCs), for renewable hydrogen systems. The research center believes this could reshape how we make clean hydrogen technology.

Metal #additivemanufacturing powder supplier 6K Additive went public on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX), just after getting $27.4M in loans from @EximBankUS. It will use this funding & IPO proceeds to support its goal of reaching full production capacity by the end of 2026.

Munich-based @DCUBEDspace has been building one of the world's most advanced in-space manufacturing programs. Now, the startup has unveiled ARAQYS, a new space-power platform that could deliver the first kilowatt-class solar arrays #3Dprinted directly in orbit.

At the 10th @ASTMIntl Conference on Advanced Manufacturing (ICAM) this year, industry journalist Peter Zelinski captured what @MikeMolitchHou called a "unique trend" - #AM & #AI are converging into one narrative about the future of production, & how it will think, learn, & build.

In April, cold spray #additivemanufacturing (CSAM) firm @Titomic_Limited announced a partnership with @northropgrumman to test CSAM for pressure vessels in the aerospace sector. They just achieved a successful hot fire test of a #3Dprinted thrust chamber for solid rocket motors.

Bike seats made with #3Dprinting have been very successful, leading to exploration of different types of pads, like for helmets and boxing gloves. But, could larger #3Dprinted components in other types of seats also see success? @pilz takes a look at #AM for aircraft seating.
