New developments in additive manufacturing are being examined as a potential way to reshape how key safety components for nuclear fuel transport are produced, with a focus on manufacturing efficiency, cost and performance, according to a report published by the American Nuclear Society.

Researchers at MIT have unveiled a new multimaterial 3D-printing platform designed to streamline the manufacturing of complex electric machines, potentially enabling rapid, on-site production of devices that traditionally require specialized equipment.

Conflux Technology has announced that its 3D-printed, configurable transmission oil cooler has completed a full-distance endurance race on a Multimatic-engineered car, in what the company described as a demonstration of reliability and performance under top-tier motorsport conditions.

A major online briefing is set for Friday, 13 February 2026, as the Additive Manufacturing CRC (AMCRC) hosts a “Webinar: Core Project Funding Round” aimed at industry researchers and innovators. 

Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin and Sandia National Laboratories have developed a new 3D printing method that allows objects with very different physical properties to be created within a single structure using relatively inexpensive equipment and widely available materials.
