LAMÁQUINA’s 3D printed ceramic tiles complete Sagrada Família’s tallest tower Construction 3D Printing

March 2, 2026 Architecture

On February 20, 2026, the final arm of the cross was lifted onto the Tower of Jesus Christ at the Sagrada Família in Barcelona, marking the completion of the cathedral’s exterior and the culmination of 144 years of construction. The cross now crowns the structure at 172.5 meters, making it the world’s tallest church. The robotic 3D printed ceramic tiles that form the tower’s white glazed ceramic skin were developed by LAMÁQUINA in collaboration with Ceramica Cumella.

AM2020, Baker Hughes looks to advance additive manufacturing for sustainable energy production 3D Printing Events

During the company’s annual meeting – AM2020 – which was held this week within a very large dedicated space inside Florence’s Leopolda Station, energy giant Baker Hughes extensively discussed and showed new technological solutions that will enable to company to meet its decarbonization goals by 2030. It may seem almost paradoxical for an oil and gas giant to promise clean and sustainable energy however the exact opposite is true. Baker Hughes, with its partners and senior management teams, are entirely focused on identifying real solutions for clean energy, not the impossible promise of doing away with fossil fuels at once, but a clear strategy toward a sustainable energy mix, which includes all renewables and is enabled by technology. Clean energy does not just mean cleaner energy sources but also a more efficient and streamlined production of energy generating systems – across the entire system manufacturing, energy generation and energy distribution supply chains. And you guessed it: additive manufacturing is at the core of this strategy.

voestalpine starts operating giant sand 3D printer for steel casting 3D Printer Hardware

Austrian company voestalpine has been engaged in 3D printing with metals for many years, mainly as a provider of metal 3D printing services and metal powder materials for PBF and DED technologies. These metals are already being used at its own 3D printing and research centers around the world. Now the steel and technology Group has started operating a giant sand 3D printer for heavy steel castings at its site in Traisen, Lower Austria. However, a unique and interesting aspect is that the machine is not from European and US leaders such as voxeljet and ExOne but from Chinese company Kocel Machinery.

CNN Just Published a Report on House 3D Printing (and Cities Too) 3D Printing Processes

It’s always nice when the generalist media cover 3D printing, in any of its forms, in a positive way. After they stopped blabbering about how 3D printing is dead, generalist media are once again finding an interest for 3D printing and 3D printing companies. It just happened with CNN and house 3D printing – or maybe we should say “city 3D printing” since when the generalist media talks about stuff they do it “extra large”.
