Metal No More
Is this finally the end of Desktop Metal?

The U.S.-based maker of binder jetting and extrusion metal 3D printers (and more than a dozen of its affiliated companies) filed for bankruptcy yesterday, just months after new owners, Nano Dimension, were forced by a U.S. court to complete a takeover of the company. "The decision to file for bankruptcy protection was made by Desktop Metal’s independent Board of Directors, who conducted a process to explore available strategic alternatives," Nano Dimension said in a statement. Desktop Metal is looking at opportunities to sell its technology.

A Victory for 3D Printing
The real winner of the Tour de France? A $400 custom 3D printed saddle.

If you looked closely at Tadej Pogačar glide across the finish line of the Tour de France yesterday, you might have noticed his custom 3D printed Fisk Vento Argo 00 Adaptive saddle ($400), which was without a doubt the reason for his victory (just kidding). Pogačar was part of UAE Team Emirates‑XRG, which began using Fizik saddles in 2025, specifically using the One-to-One adaptive 3D printed technology from Carbon that is tailored to each rider’s body and riding position.

Printed Paradise
If it actually gets printed, I want to vacation here!

Sri Lanka-based architectural firm Shakticola aims to use concrete 3D printing from the Dutch company Vertico to bring its hotel concept to life. The company says it used AI to design the sweeping curves of the monolithic structure pictured below that, we expect, will be one of several hotel units. For now though, we just have this wonderful Blender render to hook our vacation dreams on. Check out the interview with the architects at Ceylon Today.
