Just a beat after announcing the its ColorMix implementation of FullSpectrum color interpolation printing, Prusa has announced a neat ColorMix Shading web app that lets you dramatically shade prints to achieve filament mix-like effects. Just upload your STL, set the colors you're using, and reposition the "light" to set new shaded perspectives on your model. It's quick, easy, integrates directly with EasyPrint, PrusaSlicer or, for non-Prusa users, exports directly to 3MF. Read more about it on the Prusa blog.
The company regularly launches via Kickstarter: that's typical. But the Pop 4 is a decidedly atypical budget 3D scanner, packing near-infrared, VCSEL, blue laser, plus 3D gaussian splat modes all in one.
Google just dropped 2D CAD drawings for its new Fitbit Air as an open invite for makers to design their own bands, so expect unofficial STLs to hit the usual model repositories fast. Just note: Long-term skin contact means sweat, friction, heat, and overnight wear, and very few 3D printing filaments are actually certified for that job. Look for materials, such as Siraya Tech’s Flex TPU 85A with ISO 10993 biocompatibility documentation.
From print-in-place gears to mesmerizing geometric motion, we found the absolute most satisfying free models to load onto your printer.
There’s a new toolchanger in town – or, rather, there will be, when Creality releases its next flagship printer, the K3, later this year. Powering the toolchanging is a new system the company calls KliTek.
This new filament is the company's Jet Black TPU in evening wear because sometimes your RC tires, phone cases, and bendy little shock-absorbing bits deserve to feel like they’re walking a red carpet. The new Prusament PTU Galaxy Black filament keeps the serious stuff under the sparkle, including Prusa’s in-house production and tech specs, plus refill-friendly NFC-tagged spool, and costs $37.99/500g — a small price to pay for adding just enough bling to make your functional parts whisper, “I’m not like the other black filaments.”
Driven by defense and energy sector part demand, Incodema3D’s latest investment underscores a growing industry-wide transition toward standardized, repeatable metal AM supply chains.
Designing garments based on body data — from curves and sweat zones to sun exposure — Laura Civetti and Juan Daniel Cabrera Cobo, with additive manufacturing partner Stratasys, generates textile patterns tuned to the wearer’s needs. This design research project is part fashion, part performance gear, and part glimpse of a future where your clothes don’t just fit — they respond. Printed on a Stratasys PolyJet 3D printer in 18 pieces then assembled.
A new update to Snapmaker's OrcaSlicer fork for its U1 toolchanger 3D printer integrates the community-developed FullSpectrum color printing technique, letting you combine filaments in a print to achieve new colors. A long (and excellent) post on the Snapmaker blog digs deep into how it works with tips and tricks for how to achieve the best results. It's well worth a read.
We tested Meshy, Tripo, and Hi3D to find the best AI 3D model generator—and discovered that pairing them with general AI unlocks the ultimate workflow for clean, printable meshes.
The company scales up its budget range further with the A2L, a larger build volume printer with H2-series module compatibility. Just don't expect a laser.
Nike is testing a new initiative that uses additive manufacturing to create a flexible, digital platform for limited-run sneaker designs and customer personalization.
