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.

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.

After years of delivering ultra-hard 3D-printed metals, VBN Components now introduces Vibenite 130 — a tough, high-strength alloy engineered for fatigue-resistant applications. The launch at Formnext 2025 marks a new step in combining hardness, durability and sustainable near-net-shape manufacturing.

The winners of the 2025 Formnext Awards have been announced! On 20 November, this year’s Formnext honored the most outstanding contributions to Additive Manufacturing in six categories.

Designed to accelerate the adoption of additive manufacturing in production, the new North American Stratasys Tooling Center (NASTC) in Flint, Michigan brings together Stratasys and Automation Intelligence. The hub offers hands-on access to industrial 3D printing and engineering support, helping manufacturers develop and scale cost-effective tooling solutions.

The new SmartScope M130 from OGP extends the M-Series range with a large-format 3D multisensor metrology system. It features enhanced optical performance, higher throughput, and increased capacity for precise measurement of large and heavy components.

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 .

From hybrid machine tools to AI-driven robotics and automated post-processing, additive manufacturing is entering a new phase of industrial maturity. A look at current technologies shows how AM is becoming a reliable, scalable element of modern production.

One of the UK’s leading technology specialists is set to launch a new deployable hybrid manufacturing system that can be set-up in just twenty-five minutes.

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.
