An $8 billion space mega-deal gets sold as a win for 3D printing — but was it? Plus Velo3D's giant new metal factory, a defense-and-maritime AM surge, recycled scrap becoming LPBF powder, Bambu's 'safer' filament, and the week's most gloriously silly headline: a 3D-printed steak coming to your backyard grill.

We profile Stratasys, the 35-year-old company that invented FDM and now sits in the middle of a high-stakes pivot from prototyping to serial production. From Scott Crump's original patent to a multi-technology portfolio, CEO Yoav Zeif's industrial bet, the $42.5M Markforged deal, and a balance sheet under pressure — here's what the original incumbent actually is in 2026.
