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.

A Massivit 3D acceleration to adopting 3D printing in construction Construction 3D Printing

The introduction of 3D printing – in any form – into the construction industry is among the most fascinating and, at the same time, challenging endeavor. On the one hand, the most advanced and technologically complex, digital manufacturing processes; on the other an industry that has notoriously been slow to introduce change. For these reasons, many see construction as the area with the highest potential for 3D printing innovation. And business. The shift is going to be gradual and any potential adopter will benefit from introducing 3D printing technologies that can significantly enhance traditional construction practices. Massivit 3D’s large-volume 3D printing technology for construction is doing just that. By providing cost-effective 3D printed tools to leverage the geometric benefits of AM, without foregoing the use of traditional materials, Massivit 3D is enabling innovative constructions and restorations. These projects – from statues to capitols and decorations of historical Italian palaces –  would not have been cost-effective by either traditional construction methods or direct concrete 3D printing.

University of Michigan develops VentMI, a personalized splitter for ventilators AM Industry

A team from the University of Michigan and Michigan Medicine has developed a personalized 3D printed vent-splitter device that allows for multiple patients to receive tailored pressures from the same ventilator unit. The device, called VentMI, has been licensed by a local startup, MakeMedical LLC, and could help to improve treatment for patients suffering from severe COVID-19 symptoms.

Autodesk and Additive Tectonics pioneer 3D printed flooring method Construction 3D Printing

While we very often hear about how 3D printing is used to construct walls for housing, floors are still a more niche subsegment of construction 3D printing. As partners Autodesk and Additive Tectonics recently demonstrated, however, there is big potential in leveraging additive manufacturing for the production of flooring, as the technology can unlock greater efficiency and sustainability.
