EOS Partners with Rambam Medical Center and PTC to Establish Digital Implant Engineering Center in Israel

2026-07-15 · Impact score: 59

EOS has partnered with Israel’s Rambam Medical Center and PTC to establish a Digital Implant Engineering Center in Haifa. A team of engineers and physicians will jointly design, develop, and produce customized patient implants and medical devices using metal 3D printing technology. EOS will provide metal additive manufacturing capabilities, while PTC’s Creo CAD solution will be used for medical product design. Physicians at Rambam Medical Center will be able to obtain patient-specific implants directly at the point of care, with the goal of reducing reliance on external suppliers, accelerating patient treatment, and improving care quality. The director of Rambam noted that personalized medicine is the future of healthcare; EOS’s Chief Strategy Officer emphasized that open software architecture is key to achieving a ‘scan-to-print’ workflow; and PTC’s Vice President of Technology highlighted that smart digital engineering is driving medical innovation. The center marks the evolution of metal additive manufacturing in healthcare from ‘external outsourcing’ to ‘in-hospital point-of-care manufacturing.’

U.S. Military Conducts First-Ever Shipboard Metal 3D Printing During RIMPAC 2026: SPEE3D Cold Spray System Produces Critical Spare Parts at Sea

On August 29, 2026, a joint U.S. multi-service operation deployed SPEE3D's cold spray metal 3D printing system aboard the Canadian support vessel MV Asterix during RIMPAC 2026, marking the first time this technology has been used at sea. Cold spray technology deposits metal powder at supersonic speeds to produce dense parts without melting the material. Ship-to-shore collaboration delivered a total of 32 metal parts, with 8 printed directly onboard, and 29 completing heat treatment and machining. Critical spare part delivery times were reduced from months in the traditional supply chain to just a few hours. Value for powder buyers: 1) On-demand metal part manufacturing at the point of need has been validated in real-world military exercises, opening new scenarios for on-demand metal powder support for naval vessels and forward bases; 2) Cold spray additive manufacturing (CSAM), which uses a non-melting deposition process, has different oxygen content and flowability requirements for metal powders compared to LPBF, creating a niche demand for specialized powders; 3) Forward-deployed military manufacturing is expected to establish a powder inventory and distribution system combining "base stockpiles + on-demand printing," making overseas military supply channels a market worth monitoring.

Suzhou XDM Sees Strong Sales of Metal 3D Printing Equipment: H1 Orders Up ~3x, Overseas Share Exceeds 60% for the First Time

On August 30, 2026, Suzhou XDM reported robust production and sales of its industrial-grade metal 3D printing equipment (which builds parts layer-by-layer by laser melting metal powder). In the first half of the year, orders surged approximately 3x year-on-year, with delivery schedules extending through year-end. For the first time, overseas orders surpassed domestic ones, accounting for nearly 60% of total orders. Mid-size machines are priced at roughly RMB 5–6 million per unit, while large and extra-large units can reach RMB 20–30 million. On the technology front, upgrading from a single-laser-plus-scanner setup to a dual-laser configuration has boosted overall processing efficiency by about 60%, with dual-laser stitching accuracy within ±0.1 mm, and reduced mid-size machine manufacturing lead times to 15–30 days. At the macro level, exports of domestic industrial-grade metal 3D printing equipment grew 76% year-on-year in the first half, with Europe and Southeast Asia accounting for 87% of total export value. Nationwide, 3D printing equipment output rose 48.5% year-on-year, ranking first among major industrial products. Value for powder buyers: ① The scale-up of metal AM equipment directly drives upstream metal powder consumption, and the delivery peak signals sustained upward demand for metal powder over the next six months. ② Overseas orders exceeding 60% for the first time indicates accelerated export of domestic equipment, raising the value of the "equipment-carries-powder" export channel. ③ The equipment order boom is accelerating powder standardization and scaling, further consolidating long-term supply relationships between leading powder makers and equipment suppliers.

ORNL and INL Join Forces: AI-Guided Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing to Fill Nuclear Pressure Vessel Supply Chain Gaps

On August 29, 2026, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Idaho National Laboratory announced a new collaboration to expand the domestic supply chain for industrial pressure vessels using Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) with metal wire deposition. The initiative leverages AI-guided process control to accelerate the qualification and certification of critical nuclear components, addressing supply chain challenges in the nuclear energy sector. Compared to powder-bed processes, WAAM is better suited for large-scale pressure vessel components. If nuclear-grade certification can be achieved, it will unlock institutional demand for high-temperature alloys in nuclear applications, complementing the powder-bed route. Value for powder buyers: ① Nuclear pressure vessels are ultra-large components, making WAAM the primary route, while powder-bed certification and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) post-processing systems for nuclear-grade high-temperature alloys also benefit in tandem; ② AI-guided process qualification accelerates certification, shortening nuclear-grade material approval cycles and creating opportunities for domestic high-temperature alloy powders to enter the market; ③ With the trend toward nuclear supply chain localization, a window is opening for domestic substitution of nuclear-grade nickel-based and high-temperature alloy powders.
