Toolcraft AG is adding a new metal additive manufacturing system, the Farsoon FS722, to its production. The company says the machine expands its capacity for larger metal components and series production. The move responds to a positive order development and to customers asking for bigger part dimensions and higher build volumes. The FS722 uses laser powder bed fusion, in which metal powder is melted layer by layer with a laser. The report does not give the investment amount or the delivery date.
Peopoly has released its Giga 800 large-format printer for general sale. The machine uses plastic pellets instead of filament, a process known as Fused Granulate Fabrication (FGF). Its build volume measures 800 by 800 by 800 millimetres, which targets users who need large functional parts or tooling. The report gives a starting price of 15,000 US dollars. For industrial users, the launch adds a pellet-based option for oversized parts, where filament feedstock is often a limiting factor.
Stratasys has announced a new 3D printer aimed at serial production, to be shown at Formnext 2026 in Frankfurt next month. The company also plans a European debut of its F870 and will present factory-floor applications with Toyota and GM. According to the reports, the machine's name and technical specifications will be revealed at the trade fair, so no details on build volume, materials or pricing are available yet. The announcement signals continued push by Stratasys into higher-volume production use of additive manufacturing, a segment where automotive manufacturers are already testing applications. Further information is expected at the event.
Instruct3D is positioning its AdditiveOS platform as a link between quality assurance and process development in metal 3D printing. The company presented the approach after the ICAM 2026 conference in Orlando. According to the report, AdditiveOS is designed to take measurement data from ongoing build jobs, compare it with physical models, and make the results available for later print jobs. The report is brief and does not give further details on the platform's capabilities, customers or availability. The approach targets process consistency in metal additive manufacturing.
Bambu Lab is preparing the market launch of the S1, its first 3D scanner, with availability planned for November 2026. According to the report, only a few details are known so far. The company has published an image of the device on its official website. The report does not state specifications, pricing or the scanning technology used. Bambu Lab is best known for desktop 3D printers, so the move signals an extension of its portfolio into 3D scanning. Further details, including technical data and pricing, are expected before launch.
Phase3D has launched the next generation of its Fringe Inspection series, a hardware system built specifically for inspecting parts made by laser powder bed fusion. According to the announcement, the product was developed over several years. Laser powder bed fusion is a metal additive manufacturing process in which a laser melts successive layers of powder, so in-process inspection tools are of direct interest to quality engineers and production managers. The source material gives no further technical specifications, pricing or availability dates, so details on capabilities and deployment should be sought from the manufacturer.
Solukon has presented the SFM-AT850, a depowdering system aimed at large metal parts produced by additive manufacturing. The company positions the machine as a response to growing demand for large-format metal printing, where removing residual powder from complex parts is a bottleneck. According to the report, the system offers a clear increase in capacity compared with existing solutions. The source material does not give throughput figures, dimensions or pricing, so these details remain unconfirmed. Depowdering is a post-processing step that matters for production planning, because it sets how quickly large builds can be released from the build chamber and cleaned for the next stage.
Lynxter has introduced a new add-on for silicone 3D printing that the company says improves productivity. The company's statement, as reported by TCT Magazine, describes the development as a breakthrough for the process. The available source material is brief and does not give technical specifications, throughput figures, pricing or availability details for the add-on, so these cannot be confirmed here. Silicone printing is a niche within additive manufacturing, used for flexible, elastomeric parts. Engineers evaluating the process should wait for detailed technical data from the manufacturer, such as achievable build rates, supported printers and material compatibility, before drawing conclusions about its impact on production.
A 3D printed church is under construction in Neratovice, Czech Republic, and is described as one of the largest of its kind worldwide. The complex, combining the Holy Trinity Church with a community centre named after Cardinal Josef Beran, is scheduled to open in 2028. The report also mentions the nave, but the available text is a short teaser, so further details on the printing process, materials and printers are not given here. The project shows that large-scale printed building envelopes for religious and community use are moving from concept to construction.
