A new study confirms that 3D printers in classrooms can pose a moderate risk. Learn the proactive steps you can take to manage emissions effectively.
In terms of looks, it's a closed-toe mule-style shoe that shows off the common lattice style that has come to define printed shoes. Contrasting Asics branding separates this $250 sandal from the rest, in my opinion. It's a style Asics has toyed with before, with various printed lattices present in some of the company's shoes since 2022 – a part of the growing story of fully 3D printed footwear.
Launching during Biqu’s big Halloween sale, this new variant of the CryoGrip Pro Frostbite plate gives a fresh splash of color for your printer.
A new partnership between Generative Machine and Aibuild brings large-format robotics-optimized workflow and capabilities to the desktop with this upcoming hardware release.
The answers involve hot-swappable batteries , a 4-million-points-per-second scanning speed, and bundled design software. Everything, that is, except the price tag.
Bambu Lab has rolled out Bambu Studio 2.3.0, an important update introducing support for the new P2S, full A1-series AMS compatibility, and a host of new improvements.
A huge win for additive manufacturing as it becomes both recognized and reimbursable for prosthetic devices.
Maslow, the open source large format belt-driven CNC project, has posted a fascinating development update to its blog, detailing behind-the-scenes work to simplify the Maslow4's cumbersome anchor point setup.
By reducing a messy six-dimensional calibration problem to a clean arc of possibilities, they’ve uncovered a surprising mathematical structure. It makes for pretty interesting reading; something to whittle away the last minutes of your Friday afternoon.
That’s exactly the question YouTube channel Mandic Labs sought to answer, and the resulting case is now available open source for self sourcing and customization, plus in kit form from creator-driven stores like Fabreeko and West3D.
Limited to just 300 spools, this layer-hiding purple glitter filament is the first of many limited “drops” to come from the Fillamentum.
New BJD photopolymer resin offers high scratch resistance and doesn’t powder under friction at articulated joints like regular resins can.
Two ongoing competitions on PCBWay are giving designers and 3D printerers the chance to flex their creative muscles in the fields of AI, mech-eng, electronics, and mascot design.
With it, you can sketch out custom 2D shapes about an axis which then serves as the origin for a 360-degree revolve operation. The tool lets you create custom concentric shapes in a pinch and is yet another sophistication of the popular web app.
In 2025 alone, Tinkercad has gained a sketch workspace and object grouping, and made export behaviour more 3D print-friendly, as well as effectively removed project size limitations through scale factors. As with any design element in Tinkercad, you add a revolve sketch through the shapes library. Read more about it on the Tinkercad blog.
It's called AI Advisor and, functioning like other prompt-based tools, it answers your CAD/CAM and general design-related questions using PTC's accumulated knowledge of design best practices, plus the technical documentation for Onshape itself.
It can't design your models for you, though. PTC explains in a "What's New" video posted to YouTube that AI Advisor cannot access your data, meaning your discussions with it are securely abstracted from the part you are working on.
Containing 15% glass fibers, the company says PET-GF15 is a filament “built for strength, stability, and durability”.
Following last week’s teaser, the full reveal of the Bambu Lab P2S is here. Much of it is familiar, and some of it is fresh.
Bambu Lab’s next second generation machine is an update to the best selling P1S, bringing plenty of H-series influences for the same price as the P1S. We’ve been hands-on, and here are our thoughts.
Swedish extrusion specialist Bondtech recently updated its pricing policy, ditching fixed pricing in favor of flexible pricing that tracks the exchange rate daily. Customers across the EU, plus the UK, Switzerland, and Norway now benefit from pricing that tracks more favorably against the dollar.
For example, EU pricing is currently around 15% lower than it was before the change, with $1 USD buying ~€0.85 EUR. This new system means prices will fluctuate with each currency's value but, as the company explains, is fairer.
The Einstar 2 and Einstar Rockit both pack IR and laser line-based scanning tech, promising outdoors performance and convenience in pocketable form.
It's a simple question, but one that's been rattling around my mind this week after 3D Fuel permanently lowered the prices of some of its most popular filaments, and Polymaker slashed prices by 35% sitewide for its Restock Day sale. Cost gets the most attention, but does anything top that for you? What matters the most?
