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 · 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.
IllustrativeBellingham-based HEI Precision has organized equipment decisions around compatibility with automated cells. Its mix includes bar-fed twin-spindle turning centers, dual-pallet Brother machining cells with RoboJob loading, and palletized Matsuura four- and five-axis platforms.
Illustrative · AIAs tungsten carbide prices increase, manufacturers machining heat-resistant superalloys are reassessing tool material choices. The source highlights advanced ceramics for high-speed roughing and CBN for finishing alloys such as Inconel 718.
Illustrative · AIBrother Industries has announced the development of the SPEEDIO M300Xd2-64T, a compact multitasking machine for spindle 30 applications with capacity for up to 64 tools. The in-development model is due to be shown as a reference exhibit at several 2026 trade shows and is aimed at reducing tool change time in high-mix production.
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 · AIThe 2026 edition of 35.BI-MU will cover machine tools, robotics, automation, digital manufacturing and additive technologies, with an expanded program for applications, skills and industry dialogue.
