A special announcement!
We're approaching our second anniversary 🥳
Hello everyone,
This isn’t another article - it’s a special announcement! Three things, and I’d love it if you read to the end.
First: in under two weeks, The 3D Printing Journal turns two. It’s surreal. I never imagined this project would come this far, or that my articles would reach some of the most important people in the AM industry. But here we are, and I’m deeply grateful for it.
Second: given how many topics we now cover, two people are officially joining the editorial team - my wife Anna and my daughter Roksana.
Anna has been in the AM industry almost as long as I have (since mid-2014) and is a veteran of the fight against hype and overpromising in 3D printing. She won’t publish much herself, but she’ll take an enormous amount off my plate on the organisational side. She’s already been deeply involved in building The 3D Printing World Guide, it’s genuinely our shared project, and she’ll now drive it much further.
Roksana is newer to the industry but already brings real experience: since late 2025 she’s been a contributor at VoxelMatters, the best AM news outlet in the world. Her work here will be different and won’t overlap with Davide Sher’s platform. I have a lot of ideas for her, and I think you’ll like the results.
Third - and please read this part carefully. From tomorrow, July 1, you’ll see a paid-subscription option appear.
BUT NOTHING IS GOING BEHIND A PAYWALL.
Everything stays free.
What we’re turning on is simply an option to support the work, a kind of voluntary tip. It commits you to nothing. You lose nothing by not paying, and you gain nothing by paying. We gain, but we’re realistic about that.
Mostly, we’re just grateful you’re here and reading.
That’s it. I’m not asking anyone for anything. It’s an entirely optional button, and our common content stays free: 3DP War Journal, Atomic Layers, and RECODE.AM.
Thank you, again, for being here. I hope the articles ahead turn out to be even more interesting than anything I’ve published so far.
