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 · 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 · 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 · AIA Modern Machine Shop article outlines Shibaura Machine’s approach to hard milling on materials above 45 HRC. The core argument is that extremely consistent depths of cut, optical on-machine gaging, aerostatic spindles and thermal management can, in some cases, cut cycle time and hand finishing compared with EDM and grinding.
