Having your Bambu Lab A1 with an enclosure will help you print engineering-grade materials, but comes with extra risk.
Creality’s new Nano shrinks its multicolor setup by 37%, but sacrifices enclosed filament storage and support for flexible materials like TPU.
Forget batteries and motors: researchers at the MicroBioRobotic Systems lab at France's EPFL 3D printed tiny robots that fly on sound. Each microflier contains tiny air-filled cavities that work a bit like a bottle when you blow across its opening: hit it with the right frequency the trapped air starts vibrating strongly enough to thrust the robots airborne and enable researchers to steer them remotely. The robots were resin 3D printed using two-photon polymerization tech on a Nanoscribe Photonic Professional GT+.
The company is teasing the R1, its first standalone laser cutter and engraver. Lasers are already a part of its multi-function machines, but apparently the beam has now earned its own apartment. Details are scarce: full specs are due in late August and pre-orders open in September. Bambu says the R1 applies the same philosophy behind its 3D printers to laser cutting and engraving: less fiddling, more making.
The Prusa XL+, Core One L+, and second-generation Core One+ bring nozzle wiping, revised belts, and other quality-of-life upgrades while existing owners are promised upgrade paths.
Priced from ~$46,000, this Florence-based manufacturer's new machine packs a full cubic meter of actively heated build space
iAM3D’s enormous LPW Z2500 combines powder- and wire-fed laser DED in one machine, with a 2.5-meter-tall build envelope, 6-kW laser, and controlled argon atmosphere.
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.
The issue with Bondtech’s hard-but-not-hard-enough nozzles for its INDX system issue has officially impacted the shipping of regular Prusa INDX conversion kits for the Core One+, with Prusa committing to as-yet unspecified material freebies for affected purchases.
Of the top resin 3D printing services, who has the best price, options, and easy online ordering? We found out.
Anycubic’s play for a super-duper cheap multicolor printer with less of the purge-related guilt is competent printer. The savings aren't as pronounced as Anycubic claims though, and long-term parts support is unclear in the company’s fast-changing line-up of machines.
We break down the best active drying systemsfrom budget-friendly units to automatic materials stations—to keep your filament in perfect printing shape.
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.

In an update on its campaign page, the company celebrated netting $2-million in pledges over the 130-minute window immediately following its launch. Things have slowed since then – 24 hours later and the total currently sits just north of $2.8-million. Putting things into perspective, the Snapmaker U1 netted $7-million in the same timeframe.
Launching soon on Kickstarter, the LightMake L4 is a large, quad-printhead 3D printer packing linear motors, print farm-friendly features and, exotically, OpenClaw integration.
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.
