Stratasys' new F870 combines a meter-long heated build chamber, carbon-fiber material support, integrated drying, and enough filament for days-long factory tooling jobs.
3D Spark’s new Voluminate platform promises to turn old drawings, DXFs, and even photos into useful 3D models in minutes. That sounds ideal for obsolete spare parts, so we tried it.
Turn everything from pellets to failed prints to leftover SLS powder into new 3D printing material with 3devo's latest extruder machine.
Rocket engines, Future Vertical Lift, aerospace-grade alloys, supplier qualification, and AM production scale-up dominate the October program — reflecting a sharp rise in DoD-backed additive manufacturing funding.
Turning a hobby into occasional sales raises a surprisingly hard question: what should you actually charge for things you 3D print and sell?
The browser-based CAD platform’s experimental AI Assistant generates functional assemblies, organic meshes, and profile-based designs from text with image references supported, too.
UV printing has spent decades in sign shops, print businesses, and factories. Now the technology is shrinking toward the desktop, and Bambu Lab’s arrival could accelerate its transformation from specialist equipment into another tool for makers.
A new Navy standard will make metal 3D printing far easier to use in submarine construction and repair, allowing approved AM materials and processes to replace conventional welding and forging.
Meshy’s latest image-to-3D AI engine is all about alignment, making the generated model actually resemble the image you fed it before you get to the mesh.
A recent federal decision striking down ATF regulations on unfinished firearm components raises new constitutional questions for states attempting to technologically block the 3D printing of guns at home.
The new polymer formulations target two familiar material headaches: moisture-sensitive PETG and brittle silk PLA.
Creality’s new Nano shrinks its multicolor setup by 37%, but sacrifices enclosed filament storage and support for flexible materials like TPU.
ABS is a 3D printing classic for good reason: It’s tough, heat-resistant, affordable, and easy to smooth, paint, and drill. But with easier-to-print alternatives now available, when is ABS still the right choice?
Drying filament is important, but drying filament properly is even more important. Learn the science behind what moisture and drying does to polymer filament to get your drying perfect every time.
The Prusa XL+, Core One L+, and second-generation Core One+ bring nozzle wiping, revised belts, and other quality-of-life upgrades while existing owners are promised upgrade paths.
Check out our choice of photogrammetry software available right now for virtual reality, gaming, mapping, construction, drones, defense, and so much more!
Machines have gotten better. Operators haven't kept pace, and in aerospace and defense supply chains, that gap is starting to matter.
Greenguard certification is becoming a selling point for school and home 3D printers. We break down which machines and filament combos actually qualify, and what the label leaves out.
The experimental SegviGen system can automatically identify individual components within a 3D model, and its researchers have already released the code, pretrained models, and an interactive demo.
iAM3D’s enormous LPW Z2500 combines powder- and wire-fed laser DED in one machine, with a 2.5-meter-tall build envelope, 6-kW laser, and controlled argon atmosphere.
