Tunbridge Wells Borough Council approved the project earlier this month (3 April) to enable works on the medieval-inspired Art and Crafts home in Langton Green, drawn up by the local practice. AOMD said that its design, Kissing Gables, was designed to offer both privacy and connection between overlapping rooms. It said the interiors will consist of rooms overlapping at corners, while a double-height dining and family room will provide views of the large, steeply sloping roof with low-level glazing looking on to a garden terrace.Advertisement At the rear, the home will form an L-shape enclosure of large cat slide roofs, with recessed entrances and subtle arches referencing Arts and Crafts designs such as CFA Voysey's The Homestead. The practice said the scheme also draws inspiration from the nearby village with architectural features including touching tiled gables at right angles. AOMD founder Michael Dillon added: ‘The two building wings are oriented around existing trees and ornamental bushes, at their meeting point creating a natural entrance and verdant front garden featuring new Silver and Downy birches'. AOMD said in its design and access statement that Kissing Gables aimed to be far less intrusive than the previous proposal for the site, which included two homes and was refused in 2018. The council received some 21 objections to the plans, including concerns about overlooking, character, access, drainage and the loss of a young oak tree, which was planted as a condition of removing a mature tree on the site.Advertisement An objection from Owen Hoare of Bristol-based Nimble Planning and Development said: ‘The proposal would result in an alien and incongruous form of backland development which would harm the visual amenity of the surrounding area.’ The scheme’s developer, Caswell&Dainow, specialises in small sites. Its website describes it as able to ‘unlock the hidden potential of buildings, gardens, and in-between spaces’. Kissing Gables is its first project outside London. In 2018, plans to demolish 21 and 23 Newlands and replace them with 10 new homes were refused. Tunbridge Wells-based AOMD was founded by Dillon in 2022. He worked at Stirling Prize-winning Mæ architects for 10 years previously. His last completed building there was the Stirling shortlisted Sands End Arts and Community Centre. Client’s view Caswell & Dainow’s mission is to unlock the potential of underutilised land through exceptional design and intelligent architecture. This goal is consistent whether we’re working in the heart of central London or in the more rural areas of the home counties. Every village and town holds untapped space and opportunities, and our Langton Green project demonstrates that it’s possible to create high-quality, sustainable family homes without eroding settlement boundaries or resorting to monotonous, cookie-cutter housing across greenfield sites. Architect Michael Dillon of AOMD brought together the perfect blend of experience and local knowledge with the practice located just a few miles from the site. Their deep understanding of the local vernacular allowed us to develop a design that is both innovative and respectful of the existing architectural landscape and nearby conservation areas. The development is driven by design ambition—confident, progressive, and poised to contribute meaningfully to the area’s rich built environment.

By AJ Dellinger Published April 15, 2025 | Comments (153) | US President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk speak to the press as they stand next to a Tesla Cybertruck on the South Portico of the White House on March 11, 2025 in Washington, DC. © Mandel NGAN / AFP If you haven’t been keeping tabs on Tesla’s stock price (understandable, it’s like the 1,025th most interesting thing that is happening in a world plagued by chaos), you’ve missed a whole lot of volatility. Crucially, you may have also missed its index displaying the dreaded “death cross,” a historical indicator of a likely downturn for the company. Business Insider called out the event, which has been hitting the stock indexes of some major players over the last couple of weeks as tariff trouble has hit just about everyone. Tesla is just the latest to see the symbol of bearishness, which occurs when a company’s 50-day moving average crosses and drops below the 200-day average. The “death cross” showing itself for Tesla shouldn’t come as a huge shock, just given how wild a ride the electric vehicle manufacturer’s value has undergone in the last few months, spurred in large part by the fact that its CEO seems to be more interested in playing wrecking ball to the federal government than actually running the company. Tesla has seen more than a third of its value wiped off the board since the start of the year, despite some spikes along the way when it seemed like Musk might be able to eke out some preferential treatment from the Trump administration. He did get a free advertisement for the company in front of the White House, but that only came after widespread protests against the company put a dent in its reputation and future prospects. Tesla is far from alone in flashing the “death cross.” The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 both showed it as well on Monday, as the indexes continue to fluctuate in wild and somewhat unpredictable ways thanks to the endless uncertainty that the Trump administration has introduced to the market through its blanket tariffs and “will they, won’t they” exceptions that keep getting tacked on and taken off. Seeing that Tesla got hit with the death cross might provide a little thrill in a Tim Walz laughing at Tesla’s declining stock price kinda way. But I have to be honest, as someone who is not fully immersed in the financial markets, the chart pattern reading kinda strikes me as astrology for guys in suits. Like, because the line displays a pendant shape, that means it’s primed to break out? What does that even mean? You might as well say it’s a good time to buy because Mercury is in retrograde. Anyway, analysts apparently don’t think death crosses are as reliable of an indicator as they are sometimes described by chart readers. According to Reuters, about half the time that a death cross appears, it marks the worst point for the index rather than a harbinger of a steeper decline. Regardless, it’s probably fine to taunt Tesla-maxxers with this news if you want an easy laugh.

Norway-based browser company Opera said today that it is making its AI assistant Aria available to Opera Mini users on Android. This move will help users with low-end devices and data constraints access better AI features. Aria AI can help users get the latest news and information on different topics, learn more about various subjects, and generate images. Opera uses a mix of models from OpenAI and Google to get relevant answers.  “AI is rapidly becoming an integral part of the daily internet experience – bringing Aria to Opera Mini is a natural addition to our most-downloaded browser. With the addition of our built-in AI, Aria, we’re excited to explore how AI can further enhance the feature set our users rely on every day,” Jørgen Arnesen, EVP Mobile at Opera, said in a statement.  Opera Mini, which launched in 2005, helps users save on data while browsing. The company’s claim is that even with the launch of the new AI assistant, it can help in saving data without adding to the app’s size.  Over the years, the company has struck up partnerships with local telcos in Africa to offer free data to Opera Mini customers. Last year, the company had to shut its free data program in Kenya after authorities issued a directive curbing ads on bookmark tiles interface on browsers. The company said that Opera Mini has over a billion downloads on Android and more than 100 million users worldwide. According to data from app analytics firm Appfigures, Opera Mini has clocked 7.1 million downloads this year worldwide. Apart from launching an AI assistant across all its pages, Opera has been experimenting with AI features, such as a way to control tabs through natural language prompts and an operator that helps you complete tasks autonomously.

Market intelligence firm CONTEXT has published its latest report revealing weak performance across all 3D printer segments in Q4 2024. As reported by the market intelligence firm, vendors struggled to maintain momentum as broader economic pressures took hold. Inflation remained stubbornly high, interest rates stayed elevated, and worries about global M&A uncertainty, tariff disputes, and recession risks continued to weigh on capital spending. In Q4 2024, shipments dropped across the board. Industrial printers priced above $100,000 fell 6% compared to Q4 2023. Midrange printers, ranging from $20,000 to $100,000, saw a sharper 18% decline. Professional systems priced between $2,500 and $20,000 dropped 11%, and even Entry-level 3D printers, previously a growth engine, saw shipments slide 10% Y/Y. From a full-year (FY) perspective, the Entry-level segment was the only one to grow. Shipments of printers under $2,500 rose 26% thanks to brands like Bambu Lab and the “continued strength” of Creality. But that growth also cannibalized the Professional market, which finished 2024 down 15%. Midrange shipments fell 11%, while Industrial systems dropped 17% compared to FY 2023.  As Chris Connery, VP of global analysis at CONTEXT, put it, “2024 was a tough year across the globe for many 3D printer system vendors, marked by macroeconomic pressures and a shifting competitive landscape. But beneath the surface, there’s a clear sense of continued strong bottled-up demand that could reshape the industry in 2025 and beyond.” Yearly Global Industrial and Midrange 3D printer shipments (note different scales). Image via CONTEXT. Industrial systems stall, with metals hitting hardest Industrial 3D printer shipments, priced above $100,000, fell 6% in Q4 2024, with metal systems performing especially poorly in markets like China. Although polymer systems showed signs of life late in the year, it wasn’t enough to counter the decline. For FY 2024, Industrial shipments dropped 17%, including a 21% fall in polymer and 11% in metal systems. Zooming in on Q4, polymer systems actually saw a modest rebound. Shipments rose 10% Y/Y, driven mainly by a 23% increase in vat photopolymerisation machines. China led that resurgence, with shipments into the region jumping 53%, most of which came from UnionTech.  The country accounted for 34% of global shipments, overtaking North America, which came in at 29% but saw a 14% drop in unit volumes. Still, when looking at the full year, every subcategory of polymer systems declined: vat photopolymerisation down 30%, polymer powder bed fusion (PBF) down 6%, material extrusion down 16%, and material jetting down 10%. In the metal space, PBF systems continued to dominate, making up 71% of Industrial metal printer shipments in Q4, but the category still saw a 20% Y/Y decline. However, Directed Energy Deposition (DED) systems grew by 15% in the quarter, mostly thanks to Meltio’s entry-level pricing strategy.  Interestingly, BLT managed to regain its position as the top global vendor for metal PBF printers, even though its own shipments were down 11%. In fact, all of the top five vendors were based in China. But it wasn’t just Chinese manufacturers feeling the squeeze, Western companies saw a 22% drop in metal PBF shipments in Q4, while Chinese vendors posted a 20% decline.

Metal revenues hold steadier despite falling shipments While shipment volumes painted a grim picture, revenues in the Industrial metal segment told a slightly different story. In Q4 2024, global revenue from metal PBF systems declined just 10% Y/Y. Western vendors weathered the storm better than most. EOS posted strong results, and Nikon SLM Solutions reclaimed the top spot in global revenue rankings for metal PBF machines. For the full year, DED was the only subcategory that managed to grow, with shipments up 7%. Other categories declined across the board: PBF down 12%, material extrusion down 29%, material jetting down 18%, and binder jetting down 17%. Only four vendors shipped more Industrial metal printers in 2024 than in 2023, Meltio, ZRapid Tech, Eplus3D, and TRUMPF, the latter only slightly.  Overall system revenues dropped 11%, but there were notable exceptions. Nikon SLM Solutions saw a 29% revenue increase, and Eplus3D posted an even stronger 40% gain, largely driven by demand for large-format, multi-laser systems. Midrange 3D printers see steepest quarterly drop Midrange systems, priced between $20,000 and $100,000, suffered the sharpest decline of any segment in Q4 2024, with shipments falling 18% Y/Y. That said, not every technology within the category struggled. Material jetting systems grew 25%, climbing to the top of the Midrange tech stack.  Flashforge played a big role here, doubling its shipments compared to Q4 2023 with its wax-based jetting solution geared toward the jewellery sector. Stratasys also saw gains, particularly in polymer systems targeting the dental market. Still, those wins couldn’t save the full-year numbers. Shipments of Midrange printers fell 11% in 2024, as eight of the top ten vendors posted lower volumes than the year before. Industry mainstays like Stratasys, 3D Systems, Formlabs, and Markforged all indeed saw declines. Nexa3D exited the segment entirely. By contrast, Chinese vendors performed more strongly. Flashforge grew shipments by 123%, and ZRapid Tech posted an 11% increase. Geographically, China overtook North America to become the top market for Midrange systems. Shipments to China rose 5% in 2024, while those to North America fell 22%. The regional shift highlights the growing importance of domestic Chinese demand, even as global conditions remained uneven.

Professional market splits along technology lines Professional printers, typically priced between $2,500 and $20,000, ended 2024 with mixed results depending on the technology. In Q4, overall shipments dropped 11% Y/Y. But a deeper look reveals that material extrusion systems, mostly Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) or Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), fell sharply, down 40%, while vat photopolymerisation systems grew 18%. The divide was even more apparent across the full year, as Professional material extrusion printer shipments fell 37% in 2024, with vendors like Raise3D and UltiMaker losing ground to entry-level players such as Bambu Lab. Meanwhile, vat photopolymerisation brands shifted from laser and DLP systems to masked stereolithography. This shift paid off. Formlabs and SprintRay posted strong results in Q4 and helped swing the market split in favor of vat photopolymerisation. What had been an even 50-50 split with material extrusion systems a year ago shifted to a 67-33 advantage for vat photopolymerisation by the end of 2024. Formlabs, in particular, shipped 29% more units, contributing to a 13% Y/Y increase in global vat photopolymerisation shipments. Entry-level growth cools after strong start Entry-level 3D printers, those under $2,500, were the only segment to post annual growth, with shipments rising 26% in FY 2024. But that success was mostly concentrated in the first half of the year. By Q4, the segment lost steam, with shipments down 10% compared to Q4 2023 and just under a million units shipped. Creality maintained its lead in the category with a 40% market share, though Q4 shipments fell 25%. Bambu Lab, despite some late-year PR challenges, saw shipments rise 76%, capturing 20% of the market. Emerging as a “bright spot,” Flashforge also had a strong close, growing Q4 shipments by 77% as it continued evolving its product line. Notably, 96% of all entry-level printers sold globally in 2024 came from Chinese vendors. A few smaller companies tested the idea of moving production to the United States to hedge against potential tariffs, but the economics didn’t work in their favor. For now, manufacturing low-cost machines in high-wage regions remains a tough proposition. Yearly Global Professional and Entry-level 3D printer shipments (note different scales). Image via CONTEXT. Outlook: A delayed rebound, not a derailed one Even with a rough Q4 behind them, industry players aren’t writing off 2025. The year has already brought several milestones. EOS shipped its 5,000th 3D printer. Eplus3D reached its 100th super-meter metal PBF unit. Xact Metal passed 150 systems shipped. Nikon SLM Solutions hit 1,000 units, including 50 of its NXG large-format, multi-laser platforms. The funding landscape also showed signs of life. Stratasys secured $120 million. Velo3D brought in new investment. And Desktop Metal’s acquisition by Nano Dimension finally closed, with Markforged possibly next in line. All of these moves suggest that the industry is gearing up for a return to profitability, and maybe even a resurgence in capital spending once macroeconomic conditions ease. At the high end, demand is expected to grow from global onshoring, with capital spending set to accelerate once interest rates decline, said Connery. “The timing of such interest rate drops is the great unknown, and the situation is further complicated by sticky inflation, tariff wars and M&A questions, especially in the US.” As it stands, expectations for 2025 have been adjusted downward. CONTEXT forecasts flat to single-digit shipment growth this year, with mid-double-digit gains likely in 2026 and momentum picking up after that.  Meanwhile, M&A will once again make the news, with the industry watching closely for new product categories that could shake things up, including a possible low-cost approx. $3,100 full-color material jetting 3D printer. If it materialises, it might blur the lines between Professional and Midrange pricing, and help the sector turn the page. What 3D printing trends should you watch out for in 2025?
