2026年4月2日3D打印新闻简报：经销商、潜艇部件等

Welcome to your latest roundup of the most impactful stories from the world of additive manufacturing. From strategic business shifts to groundbreaking applications in demanding sectors, the industry continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Let’s dive into the key developments shaping the future of 3D printing.

欢迎阅读本期增材制造领域最具影响力新闻汇总。从战略性业务调整到严苛行业中的突破性应用，该行业正持续快速发展。让我们深入了解塑造3D打印未来的关键进展。

Additive manufacturing pioneer Materialise has announced a strategic move to transfer its RapidFit business unit to its existing management team. RapidFit, a specialized subsidiary, is renowned for delivering 3D printed tooling solutions—including jigs, fixtures, and quality control systems—primarily for the automotive and manufacturing sectors. These custom components are critical for companies looking to slash lead times, boost production efficiency, and maintain rigorous quality assurance.

增材制造先驱Materialise宣布一项战略举措，将其RapidFit业务部门移交现有管理团队。RapidFit作为专业子公司，以为汽车和制造业提供3D打印工装解决方案（包括夹具、固定装置和质量控制系统）而闻名。这些定制部件对于希望缩短交付周期、提高生产效率并保持严格质量管控的公司至关重要。

This decision aligns with Materialise’s broader strategy to refocus its investments on core business lines with the highest growth potential. The transaction is slated for completion on April 30, 2026, with assurances that it will not disrupt any ongoing customer projects. RapidFit will continue its operations as an independent entity under its current leadership, a structure designed to fuel its next phase of expansion.

这一决定符合Materialise更广泛的战略，即重新聚焦对具有最高增长潜力的核心业务线的投资。该交易定于2026年4月30日完成，并保证不会影响任何正在进行的客户项目。RapidFit将在当前领导层下作为独立实体继续运营，这种结构旨在推动其下一阶段的扩张。

Jurgen Laudus, Vice President of Materialise Manufacturing, commented on the move: “For RapidFit, operating as an independent company provides greater focus and flexibility. A standalone setup allows the business to make decisions closer to its customers and markets, build on its core strengths, and pursue partnerships and investments that best support global growth.”

Materialise制造副总裁Jurgen Laudus对此举措评论道：”对于RapidFit而言，作为独立公司运营能提供更强的专注度和灵活性。独立架构使该业务能够更贴近其客户和市场做出决策，巩固其核心优势，并寻求最能支持全球增长的合作伙伴关系和投资。”

In a move to broaden its international reach, Axtra3D has welcomed French provider MULTISTATION as its newest professional reseller. This partnership is set to introduce Axtra3D’s innovative Hybrid PhotoSynthesis (HPS) technology and its Lumia.X1 3D printer to the French market for the first time.

为扩大其国际影响力，Axtra3D已迎来法国供应商MULTISTATION作为其最新的专业经销商。此次合作将首次把Axtra3D创新的混合光合成（HPS）技术及其Lumia.X1 3D打印机引入法国市场。

MULTISTATION brings extensive experience in both additive manufacturing and industrial machining, offering sales and consulting services across aerospace, automotive, medical, and notably, dentistry. CEO Yannick Loisance highlighted plans to leverage the Lumia.X1 specifically to expand the company’s dental application offerings.

MULTISTATION在增材制造和工业加工领域拥有丰富经验，为航空航天、汽车、医疗以及尤为突出的牙科领域提供销售和咨询服务。首席执行官Yannick Loisance强调了利用Lumia.X1专门拓展公司牙科应用产品的计划。

Rajeev Kulkarni, Chief Strategy Officer at Axtra3D, stated, “We are more than pleased to welcome Multistation to the Axtra3D reseller family. As our technology proves itself in real-world use cases… we’re excited to be expanding our reseller network further to meet increasing interest.” This partnership underscores the growing global demand for high-performance AM solutions and the importance of a strong support network.

Axtra3D首席战略官Rajeev Kulkarni表示：”我们非常高兴欢迎Multistation加入Axtra3D经销商大家庭。随着我们的技术在真实应用场景中不断证明其价值……我们很高兴能进一步扩大经销商网络以满足日益增长的需求。”这一合作凸显了市场对高性能增材制造解决方案日益增长的全球需求以及强大支持网络的重要性。

In a significant endorsement of metal additive manufacturing for critical defense applications, AML3D has been awarded a substantial AU$2.6 million (approximately US$1.84 million) contract by the US Navy. The 10-month contract is for the production of five large-scale, 3D printed submarine parts.

在金属增材制造用于关键国防应用方面获得重要认可之际，AML3D获得了美国海军一份价值约260万澳元（约合184万美元）的重大合同。这份为期10个月的合同涉及生产五个大型3D打印潜艇部件。

This order follows the successful completion of rigorous hydrostatic testing by the US Navy on AML3D’s metal 3D printed components, validating their performance and reliability for underwater use. Such contracts highlight the pivotal role of advanced 3D printing in creating robust, mission-critical parts for the military and maritime sectors, where traditional manufacturing can be limiting.

此订单是在美国海军对AML3D的金属3D打印部件成功完成严格的水压测试之后下达的，验证了其在水下应用的性能和可靠性。此类合同突显了先进3D打印在为军事和海事领域制造坚固、任务关键部件方面的关键作用，在这些领域，传统制造方法可能存在局限性。

For creators and engineers inspired by these industrial advancements, sourcing reliable digital designs is the first step. Whether for prototyping or functional parts, exploring a library of premium STL files can provide the foundation for successful projects.

These stories collectively paint a picture of a maturing industry:

As the technology becomes more integrated into global supply chains, the demand for high-quality digital assets grows. Enthusiasts and professionals alike can find a vast selection of ready-to-print 3D printing models to bring their own ideas to life.
