– one of the biggest events in the additive calendar. Carolyn Schwaar has an excellent overview of how the show is evolving and how best to experience it if you happen to be visiting. For the rest of you, our homepage is where we'll be showing off all the cool things we find.
You can help sharpen what we show, even. There are some clear tracks emerging that we can see, but what do you most want to see from this week's fair?
Metal 3D printers are getting smaller, cheaper, and suddenly much more numerous. But how many are actually available, and can they deliver on the promise of bringing industrial metal printing to ordinary workshops?
Launching from $299 on Kickstarter, the modular multi-toolhead platform debuts an active buffer feeding system and sealed filament enclosures for effortless 75A TPU printing.
Combining carbon nanotubes with carbon fiber reinforcement, the latest Prusament targets electronics housings and production fixtures at just $52.69/kg.
Laser instructions shouldn't need a visa to travel between powder bed fusion machine brands. The 3MF Consortium's new Toolpath Extension could make that possible by letting manufacturers share, inspect, and validate laser instructions without getting tangled in proprietary formats. The open specification keeps toolpaths and original part geometry together in one 3MF file, with support for variable laser settings, multiple lasers, and complex build sequences. It's particularly promising for tricky structures like graded lattices.
Lynxel will present its LB1 and LC1 resin printers at Formnext 2026, targeting consumer-level pricing for functional resin printing. A Kickstarter campaign is coming soon.
Matt, All3DP's senior editor, is putting Creality's K3 toolchanger through its paces, and so far, the latest contender in the toolchanger arena has given him plenty of reasons to be optimistic. Naturally, that means it's time to make its life miserable. Enter a 78-hour multi-color print torture test. The K3 has made a strong first impression: it's capable, well-equipped, and its four tools offer CMYK or CMYW color mixing. The CFS Nano feeder unit, however, has yet to win us over. Watch the latest dispatch from the All3DP Lab to see how Matt's getting on. The full review is coming soon.

Prusa’s big technological leap forward in multi-material 3D printing comes not from within, but through an alliance with third-party manufacturer Bondtech. And while there have been missteps for early adopters, the printer that comes out the other side is very Prusa and, when it gets out of its own way, very good.
