UV printing has spent decades in sign shops, print businesses, and factories. Now the technology is shrinking toward the desktop, and Bambu Lab’s arrival could accelerate its transformation from specialist equipment into another tool for makers.
Likely not coming to your infill pattern library anytime soon, but UCL researchers have 3D printed and compression-tested a “triply twinned” lattice that is up to 380% stiffer and 279% stronger than a conventional cubic lattice at similar material density. It's a potentially useful upgrade for lightweight aerospace, automotive, robotic, implant, and heat-exchanger parts where every gram has to earn its keep.
eSun's new PLA-Coffee turns used coffee grounds into a filament that smells like freshly brewed coffee when you print.
A new Navy standard will make metal 3D printing far easier to use in submarine construction and repair, allowing approved AM materials and processes to replace conventional welding and forging.
If you don't know what to do with your filament leftovers, check out these small 3D prints and don't let that last meter go to waste!

Having your Bambu Lab A1 with an enclosure will help you print engineering-grade materials, but comes with extra risk.
Meshy’s latest image-to-3D AI engine is all about alignment, making the generated model actually resemble the image you fed it before you get to the mesh.
A recent federal decision striking down ATF regulations on unfinished firearm components raises new constitutional questions for states attempting to technologically block the 3D printing of guns at home.
Choose the ideal alloy or polymer for high-heat exposure, chemical resistance, and tight tolerances using PCBWay's comprehensive material catalog.
Forget awkwardly holding parts together while explaining where everything goes. Bambu Studio’s new Model Assembly Guides feature in the 2.8.0 Public Beta lets you present an exploded view of your project directly in the software and automatically split the model into assembly steps downloadable as PDFs or MP4s.
Heidelberg University researchers developed a 3D printing resin that a chemical trigger can break down into its molecular building blocks within seconds at room temperature, allowing the material to be remade into polymer and reused. The recycled material retained the original’s molecular composition and properties, pointing to a possible future where your high-resolution resin prints could be recycled into new printable material instead of discarded.
The new polymer formulations target two familiar material headaches: moisture-sensitive PETG and brittle silk PLA.
It's been a while, but it's finally here: The Elegoo Canvas multicolor add-on is up for preorder at $55, with shipping expected in September.
PET and PETG share nearly the same name, but that one letter — the "G" — changes how PETG prints. Here's why.
There's no website yet, no real photos, and scarce details, but if you're planning to attend Formnext Asia next week, wander by the AxiLoop booth in Hall 15, Stand D193, and see if its “8-spool, 8-toolhead” MC8 is actually a thing. Shenzhen-based AxiLoop has been teasing the MC8 only on social media. It's said to be a 300 x 300 x 300-mm multicolor machine with automatic filament loading and unloading, app control, and a claimed 10x reduction in waste. So far, that's it. If it's a thing, we'll let you know.
Known for its best-selling release films and resins, ANTINSKY is expanding its footprint in the 3D printing industry. With a new factory, the brand is transforming into a comprehensive, one-stop supplier for makers worldwide.
Creality’s new Nano shrinks its multicolor setup by 37%, but sacrifices enclosed filament storage and support for flexible materials like TPU.
ABS is a 3D printing classic for good reason: It’s tough, heat-resistant, affordable, and easy to smooth, paint, and drill. But with easier-to-print alternatives now available, when is ABS still the right choice?
