Check in for the highlights, headlines, and hijinks that matter to manufacturing. These lean news items keep you updated on the latest developments.
Since 2022, imports of additive machinery have been larger than exports by a growing multiple, reaching more than three times the exports in 2025. This pattern indicates a healthy and growing demand for additive technologies.
To say that additive manufacturing (AM) is still young, especially for standardized manufacturing processes and practices, is to greatly understate the case.
The additive manufacturing (AM) market reached a new phase of structural maturity in 2025. This followed several years of experimentation, rapid technology development, fluctuating venture capital activity, and turbulent public market performance.
AM is flourishing as a point solution, taking over select applications where it transforms both parts and processes. These applications are scattered across the industry, and some companies are succeeding by emphasizing AM’s value in these targeted wins.
