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.
The Elegoo Jupiter 2, a large-format resin printer first shown publicly at Rapid+TCT 2025 in Detroit, is finally ready to launch, getting its final preview at Rapid+TCT 2026, Boston and available to buy now.
Alongside the compact MJF 1200 hardware, HP’s new 3D printing portal powered by Craftcloud offers instant, professional MJF parts to everyone—even those without a printer.
Flashforge’s new 3D printer, the Creator 5, ditches IDEX to go all-in with four toolhead toolchanging. Reservations are now open for delivery in May.
BMF announced the MicroArch S150 Series, pairing a new S150 Ultra with the existing S150 to create a two-tier accessible entry point into 25-micron-resolution resin printing.
Available now, Prusa’s Universal Storage System (USS) drybox looks like a “Swiss Army” box for filament storage, allowing external switching of desiccant, direct printing, as well as a hygrometer and thermometer for condition monitoring.
Bambu Lab's X1 3D printer line-up has entered its end-of-life service plan, effective today. Owners of any of the X1, X1C, and X1E can expect firmware and feature updates through to May 2027 and security patches through May 2029.
Snapmaker has released the modified source code for the three open-source projects that underpin the Snapmaker U1's firmware: Klipper, Moonraker, and Fluidd. The repositories went live on GitHub on March 30 – the final day before a deadline the company set for itself.
