We used Hi3D Studio to divide a humanoid model, add articulated connectors, and arrange the resulting parts for printing. The tools produced a usable result, but several essential steps have a learning curve.
The enclosed CoreXY printer boasts a more powerful chamber heater, nozzle-contact leveling, an X-axis linear rail, new AI camera detection, and three-stage filtration, compared to the Plus4.
Researchers in Japan have developed an additive manufacturing process for producing tungsten carbide-cobalt parts with industrial-grade hardness while potentially reducing material waste.
Step up from TinkerCAD with this open-source parametric modeling tool that turns surface patterns into physical, 3D-printable geometry without needing a subscription—just keep in mind it's still an early beta.
The 140-kg laser metal printer still needs 6 kW of three-phase power, reactive-metal-powder handling, inert-gas purging, and dedicated post-processing to run.
A sealed inert-gas chamber and plasma-based deposition promise more controlled titanium WAAM, although Gefertec has yet to publish material-property data, pricing, or delivery details.
The Phillips Hybrid machines integrate Meltio wire-laser metal deposition technology with Haas CNC platforms, enabling sailors to add and machine metal using a single system.
Prusa’s castor oil-derived PA11 filament combines unusually strong interlayer adhesion with low friction, impact resistance, and the durability needed for demanding moving parts.
Chinese Academy of Sciences spinout is reportedly investing more than $14M in aerospace additive manufacturing, with plans to acquire over 100 large-format metal 3D printers.
Vikram-1’s successful maiden flight takes Skyroot’s additively manufactured propulsion technology beyond the test stand, although the Indian startup has yet to reveal exactly how the engine is printed.
Hembased says its plant-based FDM material is designed to break down in open-air compost, yet scientific analysis and certification details remain unclear.
Stop treating PETG as simply “stronger PLA.” Discover which projects benefit from its toughness, weather resistance, and slight flexibility, and which are better printed with another material.
Investors are betting millions on Kind Designs, a startup using large-format concrete printing to turn ordinarily flat coastal barriers into customized infrastructure with habitat features and architectural appeal.
Manufacturer support, warranties, returns, repair services, and authorized resellers compared. Plus how to choose the fastest route back to printing.
Researchers have developed an end-to-end digital manufacturing workflow that turns a patient's corneal scan into a customized contact lens with a post-processing technique that smooths printed optics without ever touching them.
A new study suggests that well-designed nozzle extraction and fully ventilated enclosures can reduce particles released while printing ABS by 99%, but leaves users without a practical safety solution.
Startup Kare 3D just launched a Kickstarter campaign for a high-temp desktop 3D printer that it says can process almost any material.
The US Navy is testing a 3D printed composite repair method that could cut certain F/A-18 Super Hornet repair times by around 50%, potentially giving maintenance crews a faster way to return grounded aircraft to service.
The global 3D printer revenues jump 32% as demand for industrial systems returns and entry-level sales continue to boom, according to new analysis from market intelligence firm Context.
Brulé, the Japanese sister-company of American 3D printer reseller Dynamism, just announced a showroom-style Bambu Lab store in Tokyo, and it's only the beginning for a retail strategy for Bambu Lab.
