Printer restoration and upgrade project This Old 3D Printer is posting a print every day this year using old and iconic 3D printing hardware.
Following its closed beta, MakerWorld's copyright protection scheme is opening up to more users. In exchange for platform exclusivity, you get a centralized mechanism to report, collect evidence, and support cases.
With €25 million in new funding and innovative 3D printing techniques, researchers and startups are now achieving 98% efficiency in electric motors—while slashing the need for critical and rare minerals.
It's a simple question, but one inspired by what we're witnessing in the incredible rise of companies like ZB Designs, building multi-million dollar enterprises printing collectible toys using the same "consumer" 3D printers many of us have sitting on our desks.
It has us wondering: how many of you are monetizing your hardware and expertise? Are you leaning into the entrepreneurial side of the hobby, or do you prefer to keep your printing strictly personal?
Precision Additive claims its new PA series hits speeds of 10,000 cm³/h — ten times faster than industry leaders — but is it a breakthrough or just bold marketing?
Prusa partners with Škoda Auto to release "Electric" and "Emerald" greens to your 3D printer in both PLA and PETG.
This print (the incredible Borderlands 4 "Ripper" mask – Printables) still looks great, even with the errors from so much loose debris thrown around the print volume.
Incidentally, the Snapmaker U1's five-second toolhead swap claim isn't marketing guff – for the most part it is five seconds, depending on when exactly you start the clock. It is quick.
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.
