Illustrative · AINew data from CONTEXT shows global 3D printer hardware revenue increased 31% year on year in the second quarter of 2026, marking a return to growth across additive manufacturing.
Illustrative · AIRenishaw is increasing capacity at its Miskin site in South Wales through a £70 million expansion. The first completed phase adds space for metrology and additive manufacturing systems, alongside energy-efficient buildings and investment in skills.
IllustrativeAM Europe says Europe has a solid base in additive manufacturing research, but still needs to convert that scientific depth into qualified, repeatable and commercially sustainable industrial capability.
Illustrative · AIMultiple research groups are evaluating acousto-optic deflectors alongside galvanometer scanners in laser-based 3D printers. The goal is to change beam behavior inside a single scan trajectory, with potential gains in build speed, edge quality and localized energy control.
Illustrative · AIMazak and Oak Ridge National Laboratory used IMTS 2026 to present a convergent manufacturing platform that combines metal WAAM and precision machining in one automated workflow.
Illustrative · AISeveral themes stood out for additive manufacturing at IMTS 2026: more machine builders are offering production services, setup and calibration are becoming easier, robotic large-format systems are gaining flexibility, and drone manufacturing remains a major demand driver.
Illustrative · AIQTREX has announced the installation of its first AME system at an unnamed Israeli aerospace and defense manufacturer. The deal includes exclusivity and a possible phased commercial path, but additional systems and future revenue have not yet been contracted.
Illustrative · AIQuickparts is deploying 12 Stratasys NEO800+ SLA 3D printers across four countries. The investment, tied in part to its Seattle aerospace and defense hub, is intended to raise large-format capacity and make production more repeatable across multiple sites.
Illustrative · AIAccording to the source title, Quickparts has standardized additive manufacturing across the US and Europe. However, the available material does not provide verifiable operational details, technologies, sites or timing beyond that headline.
Illustrative · AIAt IMTS 2026, the Additive Sector is relocating to the South Building alongside the Metal Removal Sector. The change highlights the production links between 3D printing, postprocessing, automation and machining.
