The band, known for extraordinarily creative music videos, has collaborated with animator Will Anderson and artist Lucas Zanotto for a fully animated, motion-tracked video for the song Impulse Purchase. Crafted in Blender with motion performance by frontman Damian Kulash, the video is a quirky, colorful romp through a virtual landscape. Blender Studio subscribers can download the project files, learn the workflow, and toy with the assets for themselves.
Already a popular all-in-one software for 3D scanning, photogrammetry, reverse engineering, and quality inspection, Artec Studio is now better integrated and easier to use, the company says.
Once dismissed as “too heavy, too complex, not worth it,” the monolithic aerospike rocket engine has had the last laugh. LEAP 71’s 5 kN 5 kN KeroLOX thruster — think of it as rocket science on autopilot: algorithms designed it, 3D printers built it — has survived even more hot-fire testing recently. The weight is on par with bell-nozzle engines, the complexity reduced to a single printed piece, and there's significant efficiency gains, LEAP 71 says. Manufactured at Aconity3D.

HP's new Nylon 11 material targets the prosthetic and orthotic devices industry offering a robust material and a lower overall per part cost.
From tiny cogs to complex guide rollers, the BFI is using an in-house 3D printer to reverse-engineer and produce impossible-to-find components, ensuring that screen heritage remains preserved.
The latest update to PrusaSlicer promises to banish VFAs from your new Prusa, and the improvements can be seen with almost any other printer too.
The small team at N.Y.-based No.22 Bicycle Company accidentally broke the cycling internet with their latest iteration of the 3D printed titanium Reactor Aero. After being sufficiently buried in inquiries, they've surfaced with the details everyone is clamoring for. In short: Yes, it aims to be as stiff as carbon with the legendary "Ti feel." No, you can't have custom geometry just yet. And the price? A cool $10,000-$15,000 for the frameset. First units to roll out in early 2026. Follow the company's socials for the latest.
Bambu Lab is hunting beta testers for its new Chroma Canvas filament painting software – should HueForge be worried?
In a move set to give your prototyping and production a little more flexibility, manufacturing service provider PCBWay has announced a limited-time price cut on TPU prints through its 3D printing service.
Nestlé, the maker of KitKats, started 3D printing spare parts for the very machines that churn out its chocolate bars and other products across three factories in the UK. Partnering with Markforged, Nestlé’s York-based 3D printing workshop plans to print at least 5% of its factory inventory in-house. Nestlé says the initiative has led to substantial cost savings over traditional manufacturing.
There are many cool designs out there, and the right filament color can really make them pop. But what's your base option?
Are you a fan of AC/DC's "Back In Black"? Do you find yourself singing "White Christmas" all year round? Something, something, a song that includes "gray" in the title? So on and so forth. Let us know below!
Learn how to achieve crystal clear 3D printed parts: methods, printing & post-processing tips, resins, filaments, and ordering.
Some 3D printer Kickstarter campaigns look like global product releases with finished, guaranteed products. I always assumed Kickstarter wouldn't be cool with this, but digging deeper I see it's an evolution to a new status quo. But shouldn't Kickstarter evolve with it?
When you’re just setting out 3D printing, don’t overthink the slicer. Picking the right one for you is probably much simpler than it seems.
New AI tool from the Carveco CAM software team crafts machinable 3D reliefs from images or prompts, no experience necessary.
Now, disorganized souls like myself can group objects together without resorting to union groups. The objects remain distinct and separate, but can be manipulated together. Tinkercad says the difference in processing time between a using bundle group and union group is significant – instant versus, depending on the group's complexity, minutes. Happy days.
Register now for ICAM 25, which brings together global AM leaders, innovators, and thinkers to advance the field of additive and advanced manufacturing.
From functional prototypes to end-use components, the performance and reliability of 3D printing materials are paramount. Inslogic’s engineering-grade filaments are designed to bridge the gap between design potential and real-world applications.
Start-up 3D construction printing company VeroTouch just finished these two 3D printed, 1,100 sq. ft. homes with A1-rated concrete walls—the highest fire-safety standard in the U.S.—offering new resilience in wildfire-prone Colorado. One home’s structure was printed in just 16 days using COBOD’s BOD2 printer. VeroTouch now aims to scale up 3D printing to deliver faster, safer housing across the state.
