Aectual's massive robotic arms have apparently gotten bored with straight lines and will soon be 3D printing directly onto curved surfaces, the company says. This means the wild, swooping furniture and architectural designs you've only dreamed of are now possible. The best part? They're doing it sustainably with recycled plastics, proving that the future of design isn't just curvy, it's also circular.
With a Gweike G3, dual laser capability opens up a wealth of possibilities for creators.

The new material, released earlier this year, sold out quickly, and Polymaker had to ramp up production to meet demand. A few colors were back in stock last month, but the material is now stocked worldwide with all colors, Polymaker told All3DP.
HT-PLA and HT-PLA-GF are touted as having a Vicat softening temperature (VST) just above 150 ºC, with stability surpassing even Polycarbonate at oven temperatures over 160 ºC. It generally looks like an ideal material for prints bound for the great outdoors.
Mr Carve's new M7 Pro uses "cold" UV laser tech to deliver scorch-free results on everything from wood to glass to metal.
The Qidi Q2 launches in a couple of days, with its sights seemingly set on the beginner-friendliness of Bambu Lab’s machines.
But time is of the essence, as today's the last day the survey's running.
If you want to be one of the 17 makers who'll be awarded for their feedback, head to the Reddit post or click directly on the survey link, answer a few questions based on your 3D printing experience and more, and submit the form. Then sit back and wait to see if you're one of the lucky ones who'll earn 5 kg, 2 kg, or 1 kg of PLA.
The Reddit post clarifies that, if Anycubic "can't reach your region, (they'll) arrange an equivalent reward." Might still be well worth your time.
from print imperfections to literal failure on the plate, spaghetti and all. If you've spent a moderate amount of time printing, then you too have probably found yourself surrounded by such not-quite-right prints. But what do you do with them all?
What does that mean for you? In short: expect to bump into 3MF files a lot more often when browsing repositories or firing up your favorite slicer, and see fewer of those humble STL relics. 3MFs are a more comprehensive representation of 3D models that includes materials, colors, textures, and even support structures. The 3MF Consortium says this ISO badge of honor should break down adoption barriers, speed up industry-wide use.
In simulated outer-space conditions, under pressure of 330 bar and cooled to -196ºC, this 3D printed titanium 640 mm-diameter fuel tank held. Made with DED 3D printing technology at the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology, researchers say the first-of-its-kind test results lay the foundation for widespread applications of 3D printing in aerospace.
Now, users and designers can share blog-like articles in the same place as their models. Prusa says it's a great way to "monetize your expertise and detailed guides," and much like Patreon, users can lock content behind Club subscriptions. There are even analytics to see how content is performing, which could help curate future articles.
When Printables introduced "Clubs", we called the subscription service "Patreon-like". With Articles, it looks like the service is inching a little further into that territory.
Games Workshop’s perennial product shortages are testing the patience of its passionate players and pushing them towards 3D printing solutions.
As personalized healthcare devices continue to advance, 3D printing has emerged as a transformative force in orthotics – particularly in the treatment of scoliosis.
Who the heck needs to drag one of these around for school? The welding unit has wheels I suppose. That probably helps. In any case xTool's 1200W laser-powered metal cutting, engraving, and welding all-in-one can be picked up for $15,999 – $600 off. Alternatively the basic 1200W laser welder is $7,999 – a $250 discount.
From the most accessible methods of aluminum 3D printing to the most powerful industrial solutions, which one is right for you part?
Dealing with bored kids this summer? Here are five fun games you can 3D print for home or travel. Each is simple to learn, small enough to take with you anywhere, and 100% guaranteed fun.
Bambu Lab and Helio Additive bring industrial-grade simulation and optimization tools to desktop FDM users.
Bambu Lab's Parametric Model Maker, available via MakerWorld, now enables creators to upload and edit Fusion (.f3d) parametric model files.
Join Andy from MicroCenter as he ventures into the world’s largest PLA polymer factory in Blair, Nebraska. It’s like Field of Dreams, but with fewer baseballs and more biodegradable plastic.
opening the door to all kinds of useful (and goofy) print status animations. It'll set you back $55.99 at the Biqu webstore, but offers a near plug-and-play personalization upgrade for your printer.
