Metal additive manufacturing company AML3D has been granted a European patent for the company’s Wire Additive Manufacturing (WAM) process, fostering its competitive position in the EU.

The University of Rostock and metal construction company Stenzel MIM Technik have collaborated to create a 3D-printed metal injection mould (MIM) with AIM3D's CEM technology on an ExAM 255 system in a push to combine high accuracy and production speeds.

Additive manufacturing continues to revolutionise how components and tools are manufactured on a large scale. However, due to a lack of materials, lengthy print times, high cost, and strict quality criteria, 3D printing was not initially a feasible alternative for large-scale industrial manufacturing.

Metal additive manufacturing company AML3D has secured a US Navy purchase order for its industrial-scale ARCEMY X-Edition 6700 Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing metal 3D printing system. 

Victoria-based additive manufacturing company SPEE3D announced a collaboration with Missouri University of Science and Technology (S&T) to deliver their metal additive manufacturing (AM) technology to the university's Kummer Institute Centre for Advanced Manufacturing. 

The Victorian government continues to equip manufacturing workers with the digital skills required to boost competitiveness and create more future-proof jobs in the industry as part of its Digital Jobs for Manufacturing program. 

North Carolina State University researchers have created a highly electrically conductive metallic gel that may be used to 3D-print solid structures at ambient temperature. 

Australian metal additive manufacturing firm AML3D announced that its ARCEMY Wire Additive Manufacturing metal 3D printing equipment was sold to Curtin University, a public research university based in Perth. 

Despite growing economic difficulties in the additive manufacturing (AM) global market, the first quarter of 2023 saw double-digit sequential growth to USD 3.7 billion (AUD 5.5 billion) compared to USD 3.4 billion (AUD 5 billion) during the same period of the prior quarter in, according to latest data from SmarTech Analysis. 

Researchers at Stockholm's KTH Royal Institute of Technology have 3D-printed what they claim as the world's smallest wine glass – nearly indistinguishable with the naked eye – with a rim the width of a human hair.
