The B520 at $10K may represent a competitive alternative to the Formlabs Fuse Blast, focusing on automating the final finishing step for SLS parts.
alerting us to a printer launch under the banner "Xcellence made simple." There have been leaks and speculation, and with the sunsetting of the X1 series the other week an X-shaped void which looks like it will be promptly filled. Could this be the X2D?
Probably. We see two hot ends, like the H2D, as well as a shape that sticks out like the X1's lidar unit. What else can we expect? At a guess, the chamber cooling and heating system introduced in the H2D, a 256mm³ build volume, plus the full camera suite for print quality monitoring. We'll know for sure come April 14, 10 AM EDT.
BigRep evolves its one-cubic-meter platform with full XYZ automation and a shift toward high-speed pellet extrusion to slash industrial material costs.
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.
Stop looking and start printing: we’ve reviewed and picked the best 3D printers across many categories to help you find the best tech for your needs.
Alveo3D, the French 3D printing air filtration specialist, has released two new workshop-class fume extractors. FE150 and FE350 join the company's smaller, enclosure-specific solutions and mark an expansion into general purpose extraction suitable for heavier duty tasks and environments.
Prusa has delivered a firmware update for the MMU3 that cuts filament change times by up to nine seconds per swap – enough to shave hours off complex multicolor prints.
Snapmaker has confirmed April 10, 2026, as the date its U1 toolchanger will be available in stock across global warehouses, marking the printer's official transition from crowdfunded preorder to an in-stock, ready-to-ship product.
Icon is no longer the only one who gets to run Icon's printers. The Austin-based construction technology company has announced the commercial availability of Titan, opening up its multi-story robotic concrete printing system to external parties.
Creality will soon begin crowdfunding a desktop filament extruder that gives you the ability to recycle printing scraps and waste at home, turning it into fresh printable filament. But there are caveats, and plenty of history to say it’s not so simple.
From budget-friendly single-nozzle systems to high-end toolchangers, here are the best multi-extrusion 3D printers for 2026 across five distinct categories.
New external kit from French filtration specialists Alveo3D adds ultrafine particle filtering to the Bambu Lab P2S’s native VOC-capturing charcoal-based filter.
Forget proprietary hardware—this open-source project from Sunnyday Technologies uses standard NEMA motors and generative design to bring pallet-scale concrete printing to your workshop.
First shown at the IFA Berlin consumer technology show last year, Creality’s latest 3D printer in its flagship K2 series pushes the price lower, ditching the walls and door and offering multicolor out of the box.
That much is clear. But don't forget the Bondtech INDX is actually a standalone platform, meaning compatibility with a range of off-the-shelf Klipper (plus other firmwares) and custom builds. The latest developer video from Bondtech explores the Duet3D co-developed toolhead board and its I/O, including compatibility with SZP coils for very fast mesh bed levelling.
In contrast, Prusa uses its own toolhead board, opting for an integrated load cell for nozzle-based mesh bed levelling.

A drip feed of dev videos on Prusa's YouTube channel is starting to build hype for the INDX upgrade (for us at least) though we're still waiting for confirmation when this multi-material upgrade will become available.
