Hold My Schnitzel
Germans teach plastic 3D printer to speak fluent titanium.

In a move that gloriously voids the warranty, the folks at 3D Werk Black Forest successfully churned out titanium parts using a Formlabs Fuse 1+ — a machine that, until now, was strictly a plastics-only party. The secret sauce? A clever polymer-coated metal powder from Headmade Materials, that we've covered before. While still in the testing phase, this breakthrough could drop the entry fee for titanium 3D printing to the sub-$30K price point.

Ain't No Mountain Higher
Creality's launch of its new K2-series products is well underway,

with livestream giveaways and other visually busy promos drumming up attention over on the Creality homepage.

Dock On
Polymaker has de-bundled the PolyDryer.

You can now buy PolyDryer docks independently from the storage boxes, unlocking more flexibility in your custom filament drying setups. Judging by the announcement the global rollout is staggered, but as of this moment you can already pick one up from the U.S. Polymaker webstore.

S'AI Cheese
Occasionally, a quick and dirty 3D model is all you need.

And Polycam's newest tool seems a nifty way to achieve just that from a single image. Added earlier this month, the AI Model Generator is targeted for use creating quick digital assets for scenes in Blender, Unreal, Unity and the like, where pinpoint mesh accuracy matters less. Polycam Pro users can export printable file types should the need for a janky "good enough" model arise.

Space Travel Metal
This might be what space ships are made of.

NASA's new GRX-810 metal alloy may be a game-changer, making 3D printed engine components that can withstand the scorching 2,000°F temperatures of spaceflight without breaking the bank. The primary metals in the GRX-810 alloy include nickel, cobalt, and chromium. A ceramic oxide coating on the powdered metal particles increases its heat resistance and improves performance.
