Additive Manufacturing Strategies

After developing a complete #3Dprinter?in 2024,?ATLANT 3D has?secured a $15 million Series A+ round, following its 2022 Series A round. The firm's Direct Atomic Layer Processing (DALP) #3Dprinting technology, which can add and remove material at the atomic level, could revolutionize manufacturing for semiconductors, defense, and communications. Joris Peels reports.

While there is an extensive network of navigable waterways in the U.S., maritime passenger transport is still very underutilized compared to Europe and Asia.?Luckily, the U.S. Department of Transportation and Federal Transit Administration are allocating nearly?$2.3 billion?for ferry programs under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). In our latest PRO article, Michael Molitch-Hou examines how #3Dprinted autonomous ferries could transform U.S. inland waterways.

Larry Page, a co-founder and former CEO of Google, is involved in building a stealth mode startup called Dynatomics?that uses AI to optimize design for manufactured goods.?As Matt Kremenetsky reports, this "development illustrates an overlap between at least a couple of major current investment themes in the advanced manufacturing space."

Offering deep insights into the #3Dprinting software sector, Additive Manufacturing Research has released a new edition of its flagship market study, "AM Software Markets 2025: Analysis, Data and Forecast." As Michael Molitch-Hou reports, the latest findings indicate that global revenues for #additivemanufacturing software will rise from $2.44 billion in 2024 to $6.78 billion by 2033.

In three major breakthroughs,?NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the?University of Glasgow, and the?European Space Agency - ESA prove once again that #3Dprinting is reshaping how we build for space. In her latest Daring AM piece, Vanesa M. Listek details #3Dprinted antennas, a material for #3Dprinting in zero gravity, and a metal part #3Dprinted in space that's back on Earth.

Desktop #3Dprinter manufacturer UltiMaker has released its new?S8 model, which features high-flow nozzles and an improved feeding system. Plus, the company claims that the S8 #3Dprinter can achieve print speeds of 500 mm/s, thanks in part to its new Cheetah motion planner. Joris Peels has the details.

Europe’s largest industrial manufacturing company,?Siemens, received?$285 million?in new investments for its U.S. manufacturing capacity.?The funds will go towards two new factories in Texas and California, which will "more than double" the company's U.S. capacity to supply electrical equipment for a variety of markets. Matt Kremenetsky reports.

Today is the official launch of the Creality Hi Combo - the first multicolor, bed-slinger model by Creality 3D. With its advanced but user-friendly solution tailored for families, pet owners, and creative minds, the new Creality Hi Combo makes high-quality, multi-material #3Dprinting more accessible than ever.

In January, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt made a major investment in new space startup Relativity Space, at a time when it was running low on funds. Now, it's been announced that Schmidt has taken over as CEO of the company, which uses #3Dprinting to manufacture rockets. Matt Kremenetsky reports.

Typical pharmacy methods can be slow, expensive, and not always precise when it comes to specially-made medications. But according to its latest research, UK-based #3Dprinted pharmaceutical pioneer FABRX is changing that by making personalized prescriptions faster, safer, and more affordable. Vanesa M. Listek reports.
