Company releases video teaser showing nine-tool printer, revealing the name and a date we can expect to see more.
Released as a ~$20 upgrade, the OpenPrintTag NFC Upgrade sits between the spool and printer, reading tag's information, triggering automations, as well as writing material usage updates to the spool directly. And like the name suggests, it's open – it works with all your spools, Prusament or not.
Where the heck did this come from? Formlabs' most affordable desktop resin printer is long overdue and an excellent addition to a space that has been chasing pixels with little to show for it over the last couple of years.
The OrcaSlicer devs have been busy. Native belt printing, parallel printing for IDEX and IQEX machines, and support for Bambu Lab’s H2C and A2L are just a few of the big changes in motion and testing in the OrcaSlicer 2.5 Alpha release.
Support PET Ivory and Support PPA Ivory come as 1 kg spools and are designed for supporting engineering filaments on multi-material printers. Both are available through Amazon, rather than Siraya Tech’s own store.
Some 66 projects community-built products and projects made it into Snapmaker's first consideration round for funding, with 20 selected for cash rewards.
Rosa3D’s ESD filament now comes in more than black, and in a greater diversity of material type to suit different projects. Alongside PETG ESD, the Polish filament manufacturer now also sells PLA ESD.
Two weeks after a Texas jury found Bambu Lab infringed four Stratasys patents, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has dealt Stratasys a setback, finding claims in four of its patents unpatentable. The fight is far from over, but Bambu Lab is steadily chipping away at Stratasys’s case.
The Prusa HT hot end is now available as a drop-in replacement for all stock Core One 3D printers, with the only exception is INDX-equipped machines (for the obvious reason that they don't use the Nextruder hot end.)
Students can claim up to $200 per project, and schools up to $2,000 per purchase, provided you run the gauntlet of an application review and don't mind a mandatory PCBWay logo on your PCBs.
Creality is launching the Sermoon P1S today, a standalone blue-laser and NIR 3D scanner that joins March's Sermoon P1 at the forefront of Creality's pro-focused, but not expert difficulty handheld scanners.
The hotend uses Phaetus’ Liber split channel geometry to heat filament faster, and is capped with a DLC-coated hardened steel nozzle for tough performance.
The Turtle is a versatile modular scanner that handles everyday conditions better than most. Swappable cameras for different tasks are handled well, though the company’s software frustrates at times, marring what would otherwise be a stellar scanner.
Aiming to "solve the frustration of filament tuning," LayerHub is Polymaker's new hub for 3D printer users to download, validate, and share their own filament presets using the methodology it uses to tune for its own filaments.
First teased back in 2024, Flashforge's CJ270 promised 10+ millions colors and transparency from its material-jetting resin system. Oh, and a 2025 launch. That window passed us by, but it's ready now and starts shipping in October.
IFA Berlin is a slog to walk, but worth it for a look at the hardware that’ll keep creative tech interesting over the next year. We found 3D printer debuts between a lot, and we mean a lot, of CNC machines, UV printers and innovative laser tech.
Makera has gotten its software ducks in a row to accommodate the intended audience for its beginner-friendly Z1 machine, and it all looks very familiar.
The race for speed in 3D printing might better be characterized as a race for flow. And in that arena, you have options. MicroSwiss recently upped its flow game with the release of the Hyper-CHT nozzle, a riff on Bondtech's Core Heating Technology IP with a custom design that ekes out more millimeters cubed of plastic per second.
Prusa's next major update for its slicer marks a new chapter for the software, built from the ground up for multi-toolhead machines, multi-plate projects, and a new plug-in marketplace to wrangle rogue single-feature forks into a useful library for all.
The mysterious printer being teased across the brand's social channels is most likely the upcoming SparkX i8, a new multicolor-printing bedslinger with in-nozzle filament changes and filament path switching tech.
