Additive Manufacturing Advantage Returns with Vertical Focused 3D Printing Industry Events
3D Printing Industry has opened registration and the call for speakers for the 2026 Additive Manufacturing Advantage (AMA) event series, a set of online conferences examining the deployment of additive manufacturing across critical industrial sectors and specifically designed for core…
Why I Was Wrong About the AMUG Conference
I once described the AMUG Conference as agenda-setting. That was imprecise, but not in the way you might expect. The problem wasn’t that AMUG doesn’t shape what the industry talks about. It’s that agenda-setting implies a program committee deciding what…
Six Fault Lines That Will Reshape Additive Manufacturing, 2026–2028
The AM industry has spent years perfecting the technology. The next two years will test whether the business models, regulatory frameworks, and institutional structures around that technology can keep pace. Six structural pressures are converging, each rooted in forces already…
Confidence returns to Additive Manufacturing as Executives Signal Improving Outlook for 2026
After a few rough years, the mood among additive manufacturing executives is shifting. Not euphoric, but noticeably better. New data from the 3D Printing Industry Executive Survey shows that 70.3 per cent of respondents expect business conditions in 2026 to…
The Future of 3D Printing: The End of Additive Manufacturing
What does 3D printing look like in 2036? To find out, we asked dozens of industry leaders, CEOs, founders, CTOs, and analysts from across the additive manufacturing ecosystem to look beyond the immediate horizon and share their longer-term forecasts. The…
Formlabs IPO Speculation as Public-company Veteran Joins Board
The 3D printing group appoints former Cognex chief Rob Willett as it quietly reshapes its governance. And starts to look a lot like a company getting ready for something. When a privately held industrial tech company replaces a founding-era board…
The Future of 3D Printing: Additive Manufacturing Expert Forecasts for 2026
3D Printing Industry asked some of the most influential people in additive manufacturing to identity the near term trends in the 3D printing industry to watch for 2026. The annual 3DPI Executive Survey asks a cross-section of executives, technologists, service…
