Tinkercad designs have a range of uses, and we've got some ideas! Get inspired by these incredible Tinkercad projects.
Revopoint's Spring Sale is now live, offering deals on everything from industrial-grade scanners to maker-friendly options.
Access a global network of nearly 200 vetted manufacturers to compare real-time quotes for 3D printing and CNC parts in seconds.
Leveraging the same Carbon DLS 3D printing technology as the Adidas 4DFWD, Hybex’s new HX Lens features a patented 'Helix' lattice structure to maximize energy return, the company says.
but after printing with virtual filament colors this week, I just can't help myself. Let's keep the conversation going. Last week, some 70% of you who print in color indicated you do so using single-nozzle and toolchanging systems. This suggests that native multicolor printing hardware is the dominant way to create color prints these days.
So we know how. Now tell me why. Why are you adding color to what you print?
Turn screen time into STEM time. From Minecraft worlds to custom toys, these kid-friendly CAD tools make 3D modeling as easy as digital Legos.
BMW’s transition to automated, open-material additive manufacturing moves beyond prototyping to a fully integrated production ecosystem, potentially replacing traditional machine tooling with 3D printing across the entire vehicle lifecycle.
We pushed Meshy 6’s Pro-tier tools to the limit with complex real-world tests—from the Bavaria statue to five-legged unicorns—to see if the AI hype finally matches the STL reality.
FabRX’s desktop 3D printing platform is rapidly scaling across the United States through new strategic partnerships, moving custom drug manufacturing out of industrial centers and directly into local independent pharmacies.
We looked for better Xometry alternatives in terms of instant quotes, better pricing, transparency, color options, and faster delivery.
A project to explore layer mixing has resulted in Snapmaker Orca Full Spectrum, a slicer variant that introduces color-mixing functionality for theoretically limitless color 3D printing. I’ve tested it out and the results are astonishing.
By integrating generative AI directly into the Flow Studio platform, Autodesk enables creators to bypass tedious manual modeling and generate production-ready, editable 3D assets in seconds.
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.
This free AI assistant for Fusion, with a SolidWorks version on the way, claims to slash the number of clicks in designing a part by 75%. Will it actually deliver on those big productivity promises?
Forums around the MakerWorld platform have been buzzing with posts of odd takedowns on innocuous 3D models. According to reports, Pop Mart, the maker of Labubu collectible dolls, is taking MakerWorld and Bambu Lab to court in China.
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.
If you can get your dog to stand still long enough to measure its paws with calipers, Finnish startup Bark & Sole has a treat for you: custom 3D printed dog shoes. These are engineered to fit each pup’s unique paw geometry (yes, even ankle circumference and dew claw placement), breed quirks, and gait mechanics, the company says. It's all about making sure Fido’s footwear doesn’t flop, twist, or fall off. Shoes range roughly from $40-$200 and ship worldwide.
That's according to last weekend's poll. This number jumps up to 75% if we include those who plan to start doing so in the future. So let's dig a little deeper. Of those of you who are using more than one material or color in your prints, how are you doing it?
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.
