Stay up to date with the latest developments in metal additive manufacturing. Here you will find news, technical insights, and expert knowledge on industrial additive manufacturing technologies, as well as information about events where you can meet us.
From May 19 to 21, 2026, Herzogenrath became the gathering point for the international LPBF community. The AconityWEEK united 82 participants from 18 countries: users, partners, researchers, and decision-makers from across the world of metal additive manufacturing. Three days of hands-on experience, scientific exchange, and networking took center stage.
What Is This About? The leap from additive prototyping to qualified serial production often fails at one critical point: the data foundation. Standards such as ISO 13485 (medical devices) and AS9100 (aerospace) demand end-to-end, revision-proof documentation – from powder to finished part.
How is a metal component created that can withstand extreme thermal loads—featuring integrated cooling channels, complex overhangs, and the highest surface quality requirements? This YouTube video demonstrates it using an aerospike engine as an example – designed by LEAP 71’s AI Noyron and additively manufactured by Aconity3D.
Wire-based additive manufacturing is increasingly evolving into an industrially relevant alternative to powder bed processes (Laser Powder Bed Fusion, L-PBF). It particularly demonstrates its strengths in large-volume components, special alloys, or cost-critical applications: high deposition rates, simple handling, and material efficiency.
The industrial production landscape is constantly evolving, and with it the demands placed on modern manufacturing technologies. Additive manufacturing – particularly laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) – has long progressed from prototyping to becoming a key technology for series production.
Multi-material applications place high demands on processes, systems, and integration.Different materials, complex setups, and limited flexibility make many multi-material concepts difficult to implement in practice.
RAPID + TCT is North America’s largest and most influential event dedicated to additive manufacturing. From April 13–16, Aconity3D will be present in Boston through our colleagues from AconityUS.
The International Laser Technology Congress AKL’26 will bring the international laser community together at the Eurogress Aachen from April 22–24, 2026. AKL is regarded as one of the most important meeting points for applied laser technology and industrial innovation—where research, industry, and practical applications converge.
MILAM is recognized as North America’s leading event for additive manufacturing in the military, aerospace, and defense sectors. For Aconity3D, MILAM 2026 marks an important milestone: we will be exhibiting for the very first time. solutions designed for the most demanding defense applications.
Exchange ideas. Share knowledge. Shape the future. On May 20–21, 2026, we are inviting users and partners who work with additive manufacturing and would like to share and deepen their experience with Aconity3D machines to the 2nd Aconity3D USER Conference.
