Crafted in Blender with motion performance by frontman Damian Kulash, the video is a quirky, colorful romp through a virtual landscape. Blender Studio subscribers can download the project files, learn the workflow, and toy with the assets for themselves.
Already a popular all-in-one software for 3D scanning, photogrammetry, reverse engineering, and quality inspection, Artec Studio is now better integrated and easier to use, the company says.
HP's new Nylon 11 material targets the prosthetic and orthotic devices industry offering a robust material and a lower overall per part cost.
From tiny cogs to complex guide rollers, the BFI is using an in-house 3D printer to reverse-engineer and produce impossible-to-find components, ensuring that screen heritage remains preserved.
The latest update to PrusaSlicer promises to banish VFAs from your new Prusa, and the improvements can be seen with almost any other printer too.
Bambu Lab is hunting beta testers for its new Chroma Canvas filament painting software – should HueForge be worried?
In a move set to give your prototyping and production a little more flexibility, manufacturing service provider PCBWay has announced a limited-time price cut on TPU prints through its 3D printing service.
New AI tool from the Carveco CAM software team crafts machinable 3D reliefs from images or prompts, no experience necessary.
Now, disorganized souls like myself can group objects together without resorting to union groups. The objects remain distinct and separate, but can be manipulated together. Tinkercad says the difference in processing time between a using bundle group and union group is significant – instant versus, depending on the group's complexity, minutes. Happy days.

We knew a "next gen" MMU of some kind was in development at Prusa Research, but could this be the very first glimpse of the shape it will take? Shortly after Bambu Lab announced its future vision for multicolor printing, Josef Prusa took to X in typically wry fashion, posting a popcorn emoji and this image of a toolchanging Prusa Core One with at least six tool slots.
Interesting times.
Social media posts by the company have introduced Vortek, a smart hot-end changing system that “perfects” multicolor printing and circumvents the scourge of printer “poop” it popularized.
With a build volume 220% larger than the classic X1C, the H2S is also compatible with a laser module like the H2D, aiming to be a full "Personal Manufacturing Hub" on your desktop.
