Are 3D printed guns something to be concerned about? We break down the news, facts, history, and fast-moving legislative battles now reshaping the future of 3D printing.
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.

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.
