Milan’s Bergamo Airport opens 3D printed service building Aerospace AM

March 20, 2026 Architecture

Just 45 km northeast of Milan is the Milan Bergamo Airport, which serves over 17 million passengers a year and is Italy’s third busiest airport (after Rome-Fiumicino and Milan-Malpensa). As a key international transport hub, the airport must (and is) embracing innovation: last year, for instance, it launched a digital twin initiative through which the entire airport is being replicated digitally with the aim of optimizing ground operation management. On the ground, the airport also recently completed a new service building made using construction 3D printing technology.

HKU architects and marine scientists co-develop novel 3D printed reef tiles Construction 3D Printing

In yet another fascinating demonstration of the capabilities of construction 3D printing to rebuild marine habitats, architects and marine scientists at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have jointly developed a novel method for coral restoration making use of specially designed, 3D printed reef tiles. The elegant looking structures can be used by corals to enhance their chance of survival in the Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park in Hong Kong waters.

New Superstuff brand takes 3D printed design-technology products to the mass market Consumer Products

Francesco Colorni and Massimo Temporelli were among the first to embrace the personal manufacturing vision and found a Fablab in Europe. Their early vision, together with third partner Bernardo Gamucci, evolved into TheFabLab – Make it Real and, recently, they opened a new The FabLab laboratory in Turin. From the very beginning they focused on presenting themselves as a serious partner for larger companies, both for prototyping and out-of-the-box thinking. This led to a successful partnership with Magneti Marelli among several other high profile projects.
