RAPID + TCT 2026 wrapped up yesterday, but the show floor proved there’s a lot happening across the additive manufacturing (AM) space, especially when it comes to new hardware and partnerships.
From large-format systems to new metal machines and fresh collaborations, companies used the event to show where they’re headed next, and in many cases, to make a push into new markets.
