Addithive Company Review · October 3, 2026
What changed
Boeing used hundreds of 3D-printed ice shapes in 777-9 certification testing in 2026, reinforcing AM’s value in rapid, precise test and tooling workflows even when end-use production exposure remains harder to quantify.
Addithive read-through
The review separates demonstrated AM capability from financial materiality. Where a company has a concrete 2026 manufacturing or technology change, that is highlighted; where it does not, the absence of a new AM catalyst is recorded explicitly.
What to watch next
- Qualified customer adoption and repeat production.
- Capacity utilization and accepted-part throughput.
- New material/process approvals.
- Any disclosure that makes AM exposure financially measurable.
