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 · 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 · 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.
