On display at Formnext last week, Elegoo’s new multicolor-centric 3D printer does not replace the original Centauri Carbon, the company has told us.
Amid the bustle of a busy Formnext week, we sat with Bambu Lab CEO Ye Tao for a casual chat about company's just-launched nozzle-swapping 3D printer. Surprisingly, the printer's real value to Tao isn't necessarily in saving material at color changes.
This 600 mm/s machine with an IFS module proves that fast, multicolor 3D printing is affordable this holiday season.
A few years ago, 3D printed bike saddles were met with raised eyebrows. Then the 2025 Tour de France champ cruised to victory atop one, and suddenly the future of bike seats felt very… printed. Now ENVE wants your hands in on the action. Its new 3DXC grips ($45) replace traditional foam with a 3D printed resin lattice promising more comfort and control than its molded counterparts.
Big ticket printer deals often grab the headlines, but Black Friday is actually a solid time to stock up on consumables. We've found significant bulk discounts from Sunlu, Bambu Lab, and Creality – just watch out for the shipping minimums.
Limited-time deals on Revopoint’s full lineup of next-generation 3D scanners run through Dec. 7.
The latest full release brings an HDR-ready ACES color pipeline for cinematic realism, plus major modeling upgrades: powerful new volume and SDF workflows, revamped Geometry Nodes modifiers, and smoother UV and mesh handling. Animators get workflow boosts and Grease Pencil motion blur, while the Sequencer now talks directly to the Compositor for sleek editing. With UI polish, big-scene performance gains, and hundreds of fixes, it’s a studio-grade leap for both modeling and production.
Always "on it's way", delayed or "soon", but never here and ready to go. Not this year, though. Bambu Lab, Prusa, et al may be grabbing the attention, but Phrozen's quiet monster of a printer is now available to buy and made its proper debut at Formnext this year.
What sets it apart? The Arco uses Klipper (properly, with attribution) uses a fast, flying gantry CoreXY design, and features a novel heat pipe-based hot end cooling system that helps shorten the filament drive path. Ours just arrived, so we'll be going hands on soon.
LONGER's ePrint breaks the limits of 2D, delivering the world's first dual-head personal UV printer that achieves true 60 mm raised-texture relief and tactile depth.
The FibreSeeker 3, a rebrand of industrial maker Anisoprint, challenges the desktop composite monopoly with an open-source focus and a new co-extrusion process that promises 900-MPa tensile strength.
It’s taken a month, but the Bambu Lab P2S and P2S Combo are now available to buy on Bambu Lab’s webstore, with the H2C pricing confirmed and expected to follow in the next couple of weeks.
It’s Black Friday time again. Here's a round up of the major deals in the desktop 3D printing space, including hardware, materials, accessories and more.
Next-gen multi-color, continuous fiber breakthroughs, and a massive surge in robotics dominate the year's most important hardware show.
Printables' Black Friday Sale has been running since October 30 (so, Black Friday Month Sale?), with models offered with a 30% discount until November 30. Designers can choose whether to be part of the sale or not, so you might have to check if your favorite creator is in on the promotion or not.
Still, if you were holding back on going for the Flying Dragon Book Nook, a Low Poly Pokémon Collection, or a Low Poly Macaw Parrot Puzzle (thinking about Christmas gifts already?), now might be the time to go after these cool designs.
but we'll be talking about the immediate future of desktop printing for a while. It looks like multiple printheads and high-tech nozzles, seamlessly swapping in and out as needed. Three such printers made their Formnext debuts this week – which would you buy?
At Biqu’s booth, Czech-based independent printer manufacturer Stōn-Wolf (pronounced stone wolf) debuted its eponymous printer. It's a gorgeous slab of thick, mirror-finish metal surrounding an unusual flying-gantry motion system over a 300 x 300 mm build area. Built-to-order in Czechia, kits start at €1,395.
iSUN3D, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shenzhen eSUN Industrial Co., Ltd. (eSUN), announces the global launch of its single-component elastic resin 3D printing solution.
Biqu will release the Panda Cyborg kit for the Bambu Lab P1S and P1P soon, transforming the printers into a Klipper-powered playground. That, and an unexpected sweet treat were the highlights of a colorful year at Formnext for the company.
Flashforge brought a noticeably quieter presence to Formnext than previous years, foregoing the flashy hardware reveals typical of the Frankfurt event.
I spotted this beast at Formnext this week — the FieldRack, a mobile 3D printer so rugged it looks like it’s ready to enlist. Built by Nexos.Group and German start-up CR-3D, the idea is simple: why wait for supply-chain miracles when you can just print the missing part right where things are exploding? FieldRack promises boots-on-the-ground manufacturing, swapping lead times for “give me five minutes and some filament.”
