Research proves that a 3D printed redesign of a traditional oil industry device can consolidate complex assemblies into a single, high-performance part.
While companies like FlyingBear race to automate the desktop FDM workflow, the industry is still searching for the 'gold standard' in reliable, lights-out production.
Bambu Lab has released version 2.5.0 of Bambu Studio, a grab bag update that adds features and improvements honing in on the mechanical stability of multi-material prints and, among other things, more granular control over surface artifacts.
Polycam has released an update to its iOS application that introduces “Space Mode" – an AI-powered feature that reconstructs 3D spaces from video footage, no lidar necessary.
From 60% faster material testing to critical submarine components printed at sea, the U.S. Navy is moving past experimentation to build a self-sustaining, 3D printed frontline.
The printer follows in the original Centauri Carbon’s footsteps with a low price and high expectations, adding multicolor/multi-material capability and improvements to temperature management and out-of-the-box printing of "advanced" materials.
A Washington State proposed law would mandate that 3D printers have 'blocking technologies' to identify and stop firearm parts before they're created.
Filamentive Bio HT offers 160°C heat resistance and industrial strength in a bio-based PLA that requires zero annealing.
Elegoo has finally stamped a January 26 release date on the Centauri Carbon 2, moving the machine from "coming soon" limbo to a concrete launch window. Here's what to expect from this new multicolor machine.
Using 3D printing to create complex internal geometries, this prototype reduces overall material use while significantly improving heat transfer efficiency.
Last week's poll confirmed that most of you are here for practical, problem-solving prints.
I've been testing some new AI generators recently, mostly selfie to model tools (article coming soon) and it's left me disappointed about the gap between what they are vs. what they could be.
If you could generate precise, functional parts via a text prompt, would you use it to speed up your workflow? Or is the manual design process part of why you love 3D printing?
As the additive manufacturing job market matures, companies prize specific roles and production skills over general AM knowledge — creating an oversupply of talent and a shortage of openings.
A new Stratasys high-throughput T25 print head improves large-format FDM production, enabling Subaru to cut tooling development dramatically.
And there’s more to come. Right now, you can download and print the Formism Arc styles from MakerWorld. They are the free component of what will eventually be a nine-shoe collection.
Formism by SCRY’s ongoing crowdfunding campaign on MakerWorld offers an additional three "Persona" silhouettes, with files dropping to backers the day after the campaign ends on February 9. The final trio, the "Foam" series, will follow later in January.
The SCRY collection as showcased also gives us a sneak peek at a sleek new material – silver TPU 90A – which Bambu Lab expects to release in February.
By reprogramming a patient’s own cells into functional tissue, this multi-year research program aims to eliminate organ waitlists and the need for lifelong anti-rejection drugs forever.
While most manufacturers were busy shouting about their holiday sales, Qidi Tech quietly slipped a new machine under the tree. The Qidi Q2C is officially out, stripping out some of the Q2’s features for a lower price tag.
By eliminating complex assembly and traditional lead times, this food-safe, single-piece nozzle demonstrates how additive manufacturing is ready for food manufacturing.
Coat hangers. Stacks and stacks of them.
It's an awkward shape for most print beds, but on a printer large enough, they work great when stacked high.
Most of my prints land on the dull/practical/convenience end of the spectrum, rather than anything artistic or aesthetic. But that's the beautiful thing about printing – it accommodates so much variety. So tell me: What are we all printing these days?
This means that all of the Core One, Core One+, and Core One L join the MK3S+, MK4, and XL as validated to print compliant, self-extinguishing parts (provided they're printed according to basic criteria) using the company's Prusament PETG V0 material.
The Gauss MT90 swaps messy powders for proprietary "metal ink" cartridges starting at $150, bringing desktop metal printing to a potentially more affordable price point.
