Large resin printers have traditionally required users to choose between build volume, print consistency, and ease of operation. With the Photon P1 Max, Anycubic is introducing a large-format resin printer designed for long, high-precision print jobs.
The complete updated buyer's guide to desktop and industrial SLS 3D printers. Plus, learn about SLS technology, SLS 3D printing services, applications, and materials.
Lacoste and Alpine are giving their one-off electric rally car the full French-performance treatment, right down to where the "Crocopilot" parks his derrière. Parts of the rally seats are 3D printed using lattice structures designed to balance light weight, comfort, and performance. In rallying, where every kilogram counts, it’s a nice example of additive manufacturing doing delivering less material, useful cushioning, and function baked into the geometry.
Prusa’s castor oil-derived PA11 filament combines unusually strong interlayer adhesion with low friction, impact resistance, and the durability needed for demanding moving parts.
Priced at $70 and capable of drying the vast majority of filaments for desktop printing, the H1 HT is a standalone complement to Elegoo (and other) 3D printers.
For a majority it was a case of waiting for the printer to prompt you (I can relate!) But how often is that happening? The rate of needing to do something is going to be wildly different between a 24/7 demon and someone who has to dust off their printer before they use. So tell me, All3DPeers, what's the quotient – how often are you actually using your printer?
Whether you are a beginner or an expert, these are our top picks for the best CAD software for 3D printing.
INDX Founders Edition units shipped with "hardened" steel nozzles that turned out to be... well, only kinda hardened – approx. 30 HRC on the Rockwell hardness scale compared to the 60 that's typical for heavy-duty abrasives-resistant printing. Basically, not up to the task of "zero fear of wear" as initially advertised.
After a wave of quiet product page edits and Bondtech and Prusa community discontent, Bondtech fessed up, admitting to bungling the messaging. It has promised to do better on that front, and is currently putting together a plan for redress for affected early adopters.
The 3D model marketplace has put out a report (PDF) charting the growth of its userbase and platform over the last year, and it shows demand for 3D printable models outpaced that for general 3D (CG) models. A (small) portion of that boom was powered by AI generation – approximately 1 in 6 uploads – but the value of such models is muted, representing only approx. 1 in 90 dollars of revenue. Only 1 in 25 buyers of AI-created models to 3D print think they "work well" – 72% haven't touched an AI model at all.
The new material boasts impressive fatigue, strength and temperature resistance, says Polymaker, with all of the easy printability of PLA.

Normally an upgrade in the universe of Prusa means upcycling parts from your printer into a newer, more capable (or bigger) printer. An industrious maker has flipped this concept on its head and repurposed a Core One kit into an on-brand-looking Core One Mini. Why? To prove they could.
Chinese Academy of Sciences spinout is reportedly investing more than $14M in aerospace additive manufacturing, with plans to acquire over 100 large-format metal 3D printers.
The company tells us the 500 (500 mm³ build volume) version of its open source, configurable 3D printer has long been the most popular size, and that production costs and keeping full inventory for the less popular 300 and 400 versions no longer made sense.
Right now, those models are up to 10% off on the RatRig webstore. Owners of 300 and 400 will continue to benefit from all warranties, support, and software compatibility, the company tells us, with spare parts remaining available for the foreseeable future.
With the rise of affordable, accessible desktop 3D printers, co-printable or "finish-it-yourself" (FIY) products as we're calling them, logically should follow, shouldn't they? Everyone with a 3D printer has the power to manufacture essential parts of physical products, yet only a token few FIY products exist.
Even resin 3D printers need a workout from time to time. Discover the best resin test print models to whip your machine into shape!
Creality just opened pre-orders for the Falcon A1C, a compact, fully enclosed laser engraver aimed squarely at first-time makers, and anyone who prefers their lasers without the supervillain goggles. The approachable machine starts at $199 and features automatic positioning, autofocus, a 150 × 150 mm work area, and tool-free 5W, 10W, or 1.2W infrared laser modules. AI-camera versions add material recognition, contour extraction, background removal, and smart layout tools. Claim 15% off with code LAUNCH10 through July 31 (U.S. & EU only).
Vikram-1’s successful maiden flight takes Skyroot’s additively manufactured propulsion technology beyond the test stand, although the Indian startup has yet to reveal exactly how the engine is printed.
Expand your printing horizon with polycarbonate filaments, a strong and heat-resistant material to create durable parts.
