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.
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.
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.
Fillamentum’s circular NonOilen filament expands with new colors that Fillamentum says keep the material’s reusability intact.
Prusa Research has dropped a beta of PrusaSlicer 2.9.6 alongside an EasyPrint update, both shipping Prusa ColorMix – the company's take on the FullSpectrum filament mixing technique that’s spread across desktop slicers in the past three months.
OrcaSlicer hit version 2.4.0 alpha on May 25, with a release that bundles a handful of welcome new features alongside something more strategically significant: Orca Cloud, the project's own centralized profile and synchronization platform.
New unofficial Prusa MacOS desktop app brings your locally connected 3D printer directly to your Mac’s status bar, giving you at-a-glance updates, webcam feed, and even one-click Home Assistant triggers right from your desktop.
Bambu Lab’s critics continue to line up to take shots at the company. Following the company's pressure to take an OrcaSlicer fork that restores the connection to its cloud service offline, attention has sharpened onto an alleged AGPL license violation that may have lived within Bambu Studio since its launch in 2022. Bambu Lab contests this.
From the brains behind the color interpolation technique known as full spectrum comes ColorStack, a paid-for app that automatically sets 3D printable color data for a CMYW/K 3D print based on texture data.
The prickly overlap between a subset of Bambu Lab users and the company itself flashed into the spotlight this month, following Bambu Lab pressuring a solo developer to take down an OrcaSlicer fork that reconnected the slicer to Bambu Lab's cloud infrastructure.
Tough, durable, and chemically resistant, this new glass-fiber reinforced TPU is a technical composite for demanding environmental and mechanical conditions, say Rosa3D. At a Shore hardness of 75D, it bends, but it'll take a lot to break.
Newcomer Duroxen has taken to Kickstarter to get its eponymous desktop CNC lathe off the ground and into your workshop. But what is a lathe even, and what does that sub-$1,000 pledge get you?
Siraya Tech's one-part 3D print coating has started to roll out for a larger audience, landing in Europe, Japan, and coming soon to other regions too. The coating comes in two types for a clear or matte effect that's said to give "injection-mold" like finish to 3D printed parts.
A quiet expansion of licensing options on Thingiverse caught our eye recently, revealing one of the first moves to reposition the site as a space for engineers to post, collaborate on, and eventually even manufacture and monetize their projects.
The wait is over but, important to note, what's now available is more than previously shown, with faster calibration tech and massive material savings at nozzle priming. It also sold out near-immediately, so you may be in for a wait before you can get one.
All eyes were on Bambu Lab’s surprise hardware launch of the X2D last week, but a software update alongside introduced a familiar color-mixing feature that deserves some hype, too.
Atomform's twelve-nozzle-changing 3D printer may be coming sooner than you think. We got up close to it at Rapid + TCT to find out how it works and what to expect.
From Anycubic’s surprise reveals to HP’s new entry-level industrial power, we hit the Boston show floor to identify the machines—and the shift from speed to material mastery—shaping the next year of 3D printing.
3DMakerPro’s recent lidar-powered pivot to surveyal applications isn't total. At Rapid + TCT, the company showed off two previously unannounced 3D scanners prioritizing affordability and flexibility.
Two years and a whole alternate system later, Elegoo’s indeterminately delayed Canvas for the original Centauri Carbon printer is almost ready.
