Hatch Exhibits prints main panels on a Massivit 5000

Custom design studio Hatch Exhibits partnered with the SCAD team to print the main car panels on a Massivit 5000 large-scale 3D printer. The machine uses Gel Dispensing Printing, which cures material with UV light during printing. It builds geometries from CAD designs or 3D scans, and panels can be reprinted within a few hours.

The project was led by Rafael Corazza Ronchetti, a former Lamborghini and Audi supercar designer who now teaches Industrial Design at SCAD. His team drew on the Ferrari 312 F1 and Porsche 917 for the convertible's styling.

Global – October 22, 2026 -- PayCargo and Gnosis Freight have combined payment processing with real-time container tracking in the Container Payment PortalTM, which triggers container release as soon as payment is confirmed.

Once a payment is confirmed, the release workflow runs without manual steps. The companies say this shortens dwell time.

Espoo – – October 21, 2026 -- A battery-electric heavy truck with a 120 kW hydrogen fuel cell as backup power will start regular freight operations in Finland in late 2026, covering 540 kilometres per day under a pilot led by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.

The SISU Escalate, built by Sisu Auto, runs primarily on electricity. The fuel cell serves as a secondary source for quick energy top-ups on long-haul assignments. The truck carries a 650 kWh battery, and the hydrogen tanks and battery pack make its chassis longer than a typical tractor unit.
