Bright Laser Technologies Unveils Three AI Models for Metal 3D Printing Pre-Processing, Process Adaptation, and Equipment Maintenance

2026-06-30 · Impact score: 36

Bright Laser Technologies (BLT) held an online launch event for its AI large models under the theme 'AI Opens a New Era.' The company officially released three AI-powered products covering the full metal 3D printing workflow: the FastLayer automated pre-processing system, the AM Build dynamic process adaptive large model, and the AM Mind autonomous maintenance large model. FastLayer is an AI-driven industrial-grade data processing system capable of fully automated dental layout, automatic segmentation of shoe mold pattern surfaces, and automated shelling of molds. AM Build dynamically adjusts process parameters for each layer to enable support-free printing, reducing material waste by 50%. With over 3,000 BLT machines deployed globally across more than 80 countries and regions, this launch marks a shift in metal 3D printing industry competition from hardware specs to AI-driven software capabilities.

Velo3D Opens 289,000-Square-Foot Facility in California, Tripling Metal Additive Manufacturing Capacity

U.S. metal additive manufacturing company Velo3D is opening a new production facility in Livermore, California, to meet growing demand from the aerospace and defense sectors. The 289,000-square-foot factory—roughly the size of five American football fields—includes 270,000 square feet of manufacturing space with ceiling heights exceeding 36 feet. Initially equipped with more than 40 Velo3D metal 3D printers, the facility's infrastructure is designed to scale to over 100 systems. The new plant focuses on serial production, while the Fremont headquarters continues to support R&D, application engineering, and qualification. Over the past six months, Velo3D has secured a $32.6 million contract from the U.S. Department of Defense, signed a CRADA agreement with the U.S. Army DEVCOM, and won a $11.5 million multi-year production contract from a prime defense contractor. Velo3D states that the new facility will be among the largest advanced metal additive manufacturing environments in North America.

Dawn Aerospace Raises $25M in Series B Funding, 3D Printing Drives Key Reusable Space Hardware Manufacturing

New Zealand-Dutch space company Dawn Aerospace has completed a $25 million Series B funding round, achieving a post-money valuation of $195 million. The round was led by U.S.-based Balerion Space Ventures, with participation from Japan's ANA Future Frontier Fund, among others. The company is now cash-flow positive, with its satellite propulsion systems deployed on dozens of spacecraft. Proceeds will be used to expand its satellite propulsion business, accelerate development of the Aurora reusable space plane (targeting two flights past the Kármán line per day by 2027), and advance the Loop on-orbit satellite refueling network (with a demonstration planned for 2028). 3D printing technology underpins the production of critical hardware — the company previously secured a contract with the European Space Agency to develop new 3D printing techniques for rocket engines, with engine components manufactured using Inconel or titanium alloys.
