CSIRO’s Lab22 Innovation Centre is playing a pivotal role in advancing Australia’s metallic additive manufacturing sector, offering cutting-edge technology and research expertise to boost the competitiveness of local manufacturers.

AML3D Limited has announced the appointment of Frederick J. Stefany, a former senior official in the US Department of the Navy, to the board of its US subsidiary, AML3D USA Inc. 

Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) and the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) are partnering to advance the use of additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, in the production of critical military components, aiming to increase trust and standardisation in the technology for naval applications.

Stanford researchers have developed a new method to design and 3D print vascular systems, marking a major step toward producing transplantable organs from a patient’s own cells and potentially reducing wait times and rejection risks for thousands on US transplant lists.

Researchers at Arizona State University are working to enhance metal 3D printing processes through the development of artificial intelligence systems designed to improve the speed and reliability of producing critical components, including naval propellers. 

The market for metal additive manufacturing (AM) in satellite production is expected to grow more than fourfold by 2033, according to a new report released by Additive Manufacturing Research (AM Research), a US-based market intelligence firm specialising in 3D printing technologies.

Australian industrial 3D printing company Aurora Labs has entered the US aerospace and defence technology landscape through a newly signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with American UAV developer Mayman Aerospace.

Lithoz has received ISO 13485 certification for its quality management system, supporting its ability to deliver ceramic 3D printing solutions for use in the medical and dental sectors.

When contemplating advanced manufacturing, disruptive technologies often find themselves miscast — positioned as replacements rather than reinforcements.

Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a vacuum-assisted extrusion method that significantly reduces internal porosity in large-scale 3D-printed polymer parts, a development the lab says could improve part strength and accelerate industrial adoption of additive manufacturing.
