What’s New in the World of 3D Printing for 2025
Since 2024, 3D printing technology has made significant advancements, focusing on higher speed, printing accuracy, eco-friendly materials, and integration with AI and 5G networks.
New Technologies and Materials
In 2025, the dominant trend is the rise of advanced filaments — flexible, biocompatible, and hybrid materials reinforced with carbon fibers that increase strength and temperature resistance. In industry, biodegradable filaments are also gaining popularity, aligning with the shift toward eco-friendly manufacturing. Examples include Prusament TPU 95A and CarbonX composite fibers.
Next-Generation Industrial Printers
Companies such as Stratasys, Roboze, and Spee3D have introduced next-generation machines, including the Stratasys Origin Two DLP and the Argo 500 Hyperspeed, which offer printing speeds of up to 120 mm/s and part quality comparable to injection molding. New high-temperature printers for metal and construction industries have also emerged, such as the TitanSpee3D — capable of producing large metal components using cold-spray technology.
Parallel Evolution of Desktop Printers
Among consumer models, CoreXY-class devices dominate the market. Examples include the Bambu Lab P1S Combo and the Creality K1 Max, both capable of speeds up to 500–600 mm/s while maintaining high precision and temperature control. There is also growing interest in multicolor printing systems, such as the Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo.
AI Integration and Remote Control
A key novelty in 2025 is the integration of 3D printing with artificial intelligence and 5G networks, enabling automatic calibration, error detection, and real-time remote operation. Printers can analyze layer simulations before printing, significantly reducing material waste.
Post-Processing and Full-Color 3D Printing
2025 has brought significant advancements in full-color 3D printing — the Flashforge CJ270 is the first fully desktop full-color 3D printer offering precise multimaterial printing. Post-processing methods (such as smoothing and 3D UV coating) have become increasingly important, improving the durability and appearance of printed parts.
Applications and Market
3D printing continues to expand into industries such as footwear (market value projected at USD 6.3 billion), architecture, medicine (biodegradable tissue printing), and spatial advertising. It is no longer just a prototyping technology — it has become an integral part of low-volume production.
Between 2024 and 2025, 3D printing has evolved toward smarter, faster, and more sustainable solutions that are beginning to replace traditional industrial processes while opening new applications in everyday life.
