## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need current, curated news specifically from the additive manufacturing and 3D printing industry vertical. It is preferable over general news APIs when the user cares about niche OEM, materials, or service bureau coverage from specialized publications like TCT Magazine, Voxel Matters, 3DPrint.com, or 3D Printing Industry. Use it for industry monitoring agents, competitive intelligence, or morning briefings focused on the additive manufacturing space rather than broader tech or manufacturing news.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned when freshness window is too narrow or query terms are too specific
- Invalid 'src' enum value causes validation error
- 'limit' exceeding 50 rejected by schema validation
- 'since' parameter with unrecognized format string causes parse failure
- Service temporarily unavailable returns HTTP 402 or 5xx
