Uniformation’s S10 Kickstarter campaign looks to automate desktop resin printing. It's pitched as printing, washing and drying in one enclosed machine. After a print, the plate tilts to drain excess resin back into the vat, then moves through two automated wash cycles.

Optimistic punters will be rubbing their resin-covered hands together at the prospect. Still, a voice in the back of the head asks whether this is too good to be true. Curing still needs a separate module sold on its own, hollow prints may need a manual rinse, and there's no published wash or dry times yet.

A teaser for the new device, called the M1 Ultra, appeared today. Details are thin, but so far we know it's a compact, handheld form with touchscreen operation and can process scans locally. Beyond this, the object volume range is 5 to 4,000 mm³, putting it in that versatile mixed-range space alongside scanners like the Revopoint Miraco, and that it can capture color data, too. The release will put Elegoo in company with Creality and, also soon, Bambu Lab as 3D printing manufacturers with complementary scanning tech.

Starting today through October 27, you can sign up for updates and coupons for up to an additional $30 off during the main sale (Oct. 27 - Dec. 1). Right now, mystery filament bundles have our attention, with themed packs offering a 99% chance of 4x spools, and a 1% chance of 7x spools. With a PETG Mystery bundle going for $38.99, that splits out at, worst case, $9.75 per spool or, best case, $5.57 per spool.

The animation studio behind Coraline and the upcoming Wildwood is set to integrate Prague-based Additive Appearance’s PrismSlicer into its workflow for future projects, following years of joint research. Until now, getting a 3D printed face to look right has meant iterating in physical prints on its Stratasys PolyJet machines. By previewing color, translucency and surface finish under studio lighting, PrismSlicer is projected to cut print iterations and speed up feedback, letting Laika's artists settle creative calls before hitting print.

It’s a milestone spread across 11 brands and more than 60 models, all swapping foam padding for printed lattices – including the custom fizik Argo Adaptive Tadej Pogačar raced at this year’s Tour de France, and Selle Italia’s new Unica, two unique saddles that offer cushioning, support and performance tuned to the rider. Carbon CEO Phil DeSimone explains: “Brands do not need more examples of what additive manufacturing might be capable of one day – they need evidence that it can deliver today. One million saddles is one very visible example of this.”
