By the end of last year, we introduced a new Prusament spool. It’s a bit slimmer, compatible with most multi-color printing systems, easier to take apart, and now includes an NFC tag based on the OpenPrintTag standard. OpenPrintTag allows printers to...

Multinational printing firm HP’s additive manufacturing division used RAPID + TCT 2026 to announce its smallest Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) 3D printer yet, alongside updates across its polymer and metal platforms. The centerpiece announcement is the HP MJF 1200 3D Printer, a compact system with a 12-liter build volume. HP is positioning it as an…
The US Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) has awarded Nikon AM Synergy, a contract under the JAMA IV IDIQ Pilot Parts Program, bringing the company into the US military’s AM supply chain as a direct production partner. The DLA is using this pilot to determine whether additive manufacturing can reliably replace conventional production methods for critical…
A product designer has a discontinued component on her desk, something a client needs replicated exactly. The geometry is all there in the physical part. What’s missing is a reliable way to turn it into a file, because the scanners she’s tried before either wash out on the polished metal finish or lose tracking on…
Icelandic software startup Euler has released Euler Viewer, a browser-based tool that gives metal 3D printing operators live visibility into their builds at no cost, with no hardware required. Each laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) build generates thousands of high-resolution images, one after every layer. Until now, that data has had nowhere useful to go.…
US-based AI company Anthropic has released eight Claude AI connectors letting users control creative and design software, including Autodesk Fusion, Blender, and SketchUp, through natural language conversation. For additive manufacturing, this means engineers can create and iterate on 3D models, automate repetitive design tasks, and coordinate files across the production pipeline. Most of that time…
SWISSto12, a Switzerland-based satellite communications company, has awarded a contract to German space subsystem consortium HPS/LSS for a large deployable reflector subsystem for the NEASTAR-1 mission. The reflector will be integrated with SWISSto12’s HummingSat small geostationary satellite platform. According to the company, the mission will enable direct-to-device media broadcasting capabilities from geostationary orbit, supporting direct-to-device…
