The APSX-PIM V3 from the United States is designed to close the gap between concept and production. The benchtop injection moulding machine enables prototype and small-series production of thermoplastic components without requiring companies to invest in large-scale production systems at an early stage.

What if metal 3D printing no longer needed STL files? Researchers have demonstrated an STL-free approach to laser powder bed fusion that delivers microscale lattice structures with dramatically improved strength, surface quality and computational efficiency.

As it embarks on its busiest exhibition programme to date, Carfulan Group will use Southern Manufacturing to showcase a broad portfolio of advanced production and metrology technologies. The highlight is the first public showing of OGP UK’s smart scope M7, alongside live demonstrations spanning additive manufacturing, optical measurement, tool presetting and data-driven production workflows.

By expanding its global manufacturing partnership with Alstom, Replique is strengthening flexible, decentralised parts supply for rail applications worldwide. From series production to legacy spare parts, the collaboration demonstrates how digitally enabled manufacturing can support efficient and reliable rail operations across multiple regions.

With the United Kingdom confirmed as partner country, Formnext 2026 is gaining early momentum and sharpening its focus on additive manufacturing applications in industries such as orthopedics, aviation and automotive.

India’s tooling industry will be back in focus when Die & Mould India Expo returns to Mumbai in April 2026. The 14th edition is set to build on strong momentum, bringing together global technology providers, machine builders and toolmakers to showcase advanced solutions across the entire die and mould value chain.

Arburg is exiting the additive manufacturing market by the end of 2025 to refocus on its core injection moulding business — while ensuring full service and spare parts support for existing Freeformer users.

What if the factories building tomorrow’s aerospace components, medical devices, and clean energy systems could do so without fueling the climate crisis? That future is now within reach — thanks to groundbreaking research .

One of the UK’s leading providers of additive manufacturing (AM) solutions is targeting a multi-million pound opportunity after introducing new industrial scale, production-grade technology to its offering.

A standard wireless controller may seem far removed from the factory floor. Ency Software’s work on Ency Hyper shows why tactile, analog input can still matter when programming industrial robots and cobots.
