Co Print has revealed its next hardware play, the Quadro, a bed-slinger designed to tackle the material waste of multicolor printing with four independent toolheads on a single gantry.
Content creator Loyal Moses explores this exact scenario in a two-minute short called Payment Received. This extended look explores the motivations behind the idea, a near-future where owning a printer isn't illegal, but the filament and files are.
Another smart home electronics manufacturer wants a piece of the desktop printing pie. MOVA, a brand best known for its robot vacuums and lawn mowers, has used CES 2026 to launch AtomForm, a new 3D printing sub-brand debuting with an ambitious 12-nozzle machine called the Palette 300.

I've enjoyed putting questions to you All3DPers (All3DPeers? We need to workshop the name a little) this year. And since it's been a quiet couple of weeks in the land of 3D printing, rather than comment on what has happened lets sign the year off with a big broad speculative question for you to answer about what's ahead. What's going to matter most to you in desktop printing next year?
This next part of our post-Christmas “new 3D printer” basics series looks at one inevitability of owning a 3D printer. You will, eventually, encounter duff looking prints that are not what you expect. It might not happen right away, but happen it will.
Smart as your new 3D printer may be, trivial, easily-overlooked things can trip it over and result in no plastic sticking to the plate. Here are three quick fixes.
We're a few days out from Christmas, meaning there's still time left to sneak in some eleventh-hour printing to save your holidays.
