Bambu Lab and Creality both launched AI-powered character creation tools late last year. PrintU and CubeMe let you turn photographs into cutesy 3D printable characters. Here’s my reluctant experience with both.
The Roamr TPU Air HR (High Rebound) filament series is set to deliver dynamic power in a lightweight profile, bridging the gap between aesthetics and functionality.
Gridfinity is more than a 3D printed storage system. It helps improve your workflow and complete projects.
It's always nice to be able to try something out before doing it for real. Read on to learn all about some great Arduino simulator options!
Looking for a full version of the new SketchUp 2026 to download for free? Read on to see what your options are and what's new in SketchUp.
The CAD software Blender may look like the cockpit of a spaceship, but a new free course aims to prove you don’t need a pilot’s license to make cool, 3D printable stuff. 3D Printing with Blender, taught by Blender veteran Hjalti Hjalmarsson, walks beginners through the full process: designing, modeling, troubleshooting, and fixing objects destined for your printer. It’s entry-level, it’s practical, it demystifies the scary buttons, and best of all it’s free… just like Blender itself.
Stop letting your build volume limit your creativity; master the simple "Cut" and "Split" tools to print massive, multi-part projects on any 3D printer.
Elegoo has finally stamped a January 26 release date on the Centauri Carbon 2, moving the machine from "coming soon" limbo to a concrete launch window. Here's what to expect from this new multicolor machine.
Stop the guesswork and start printing. From exposure times to lift speeds, we’ve got the Elegoo resin settings you need to eliminate failures and capture every crisp detail.
Using 3D printing to create complex internal geometries, this prototype reduces overall material use while significantly improving heat transfer efficiency.
Last week's poll confirmed that most of you are here for practical, problem-solving prints.
I've been testing some new AI generators recently, mostly selfie to model tools (article coming soon) and it's left me disappointed about the gap between what they are vs. what they could be.
If you could generate precise, functional parts via a text prompt, would you use it to speed up your workflow? Or is the manual design process part of why you love 3D printing?
Ready to make your own flexible TPU prints? Check out our list of cool things you can 3D print with TPU and other flexible filaments!
Our updated guide to the best 3D scanners from entry-level to industrial includes picks in 6 categories – many backed by hands-on reviews.
As the additive manufacturing job market matures, companies prize specific roles and production skills over general AM knowledge — creating an oversupply of talent and a shortage of openings.
A new Stratasys high-throughput T25 print head improves large-format FDM production, enabling Subaru to cut tooling development dramatically.
Driven by Anycubic’s second-generation ACE (Anycubic Color Engine) architecture, the Kobra X aims to be an accessible FDM option for users looking to create using multiple colors or materials.
How Cold Metal Fusion turns more brands of SLS machines into real metal production tools — without the six-figure price tag.
And there’s more to come. Right now, you can download and print the Formism Arc styles from MakerWorld. They are the free component of what will eventually be a nine-shoe collection.
Formism by SCRY’s ongoing crowdfunding campaign on MakerWorld offers an additional three "Persona" silhouettes, with files dropping to backers the day after the campaign ends on February 9. The final trio, the "Foam" series, will follow later in January.
The SCRY collection as showcased also gives us a sneak peek at a sleek new material – silver TPU 90A – which Bambu Lab expects to release in February.
South African father-and-son engineering duo just 3D printed their way into the record books: their Peregreen V4 quadcopter, largely 3D printed on a Bambu Lab H2D, zoomed to a verified 657 km/h (408 mph) to reclaim the Guinness World Record for the fastest battery-powered remote-controlled quadcopter drone, edging past rivals and proving that high-speed UAV innovation isn’t just for aerospace labs anymore.
By reprogramming a patient’s own cells into functional tissue, this multi-year research program aims to eliminate organ waitlists and the need for lifelong anti-rejection drugs forever.
