Having your Bambu Lab A1 with an enclosure will help you print engineering-grade materials, but comes with extra risk.
Meshy’s latest image-to-3D AI engine is all about alignment, making the generated model actually resemble the image you fed it before you get to the mesh.
A recent federal decision striking down ATF regulations on unfinished firearm components raises new constitutional questions for states attempting to technologically block the 3D printing of guns at home.
Choose the ideal alloy or polymer for high-heat exposure, chemical resistance, and tight tolerances using PCBWay's comprehensive material catalog.
Forget awkwardly holding parts together while explaining where everything goes. Bambu Studio’s new Model Assembly Guides feature in the 2.8.0 Public Beta lets you present an exploded view of your project directly in the software and automatically split the model into assembly steps downloadable as PDFs or MP4s.
Heidelberg University researchers developed a 3D printing resin that a chemical trigger can break down into its molecular building blocks within seconds at room temperature, allowing the material to be remade into polymer and reused. The recycled material retained the original’s molecular composition and properties, pointing to a possible future where your high-resolution resin prints could be recycled into new printable material instead of discarded.
The new polymer formulations target two familiar material headaches: moisture-sensitive PETG and brittle silk PLA.
It's been a while, but it's finally here: The Elegoo Canvas multicolor add-on is up for preorder at $55, with shipping expected in September.
PET and PETG share nearly the same name, but that one letter — the "G" — changes how PETG prints. Here's why.
There's no website yet, no real photos, and scarce details, but if you're planning to attend Formnext Asia next week, wander by the AxiLoop booth in Hall 15, Stand D193, and see if its “8-spool, 8-toolhead” MC8 is actually a thing. Shenzhen-based AxiLoop has been teasing the MC8 only on social media. It's said to be a 300 x 300 x 300-mm multicolor machine with automatic filament loading and unloading, app control, and a claimed 10x reduction in waste. So far, that's it. If it's a thing, we'll let you know.
Known for its best-selling release films and resins, ANTINSKY is expanding its footprint in the 3D printing industry. With a new factory, the brand is transforming into a comprehensive, one-stop supplier for makers worldwide.
Creality’s new Nano shrinks its multicolor setup by 37%, but sacrifices enclosed filament storage and support for flexible materials like TPU.
ABS is a 3D printing classic for good reason: It’s tough, heat-resistant, affordable, and easy to smooth, paint, and drill. But with easier-to-print alternatives now available, when is ABS still the right choice?
Forget batteries and motors: researchers at the MicroBioRobotic Systems lab at France's EPFL 3D printed tiny robots that fly on sound. Each microflier contains tiny air-filled cavities that work a bit like a bottle when you blow across its opening: hit it with the right frequency the trapped air starts vibrating strongly enough to thrust the robots airborne and enable researchers to steer them remotely. The robots were resin 3D printed using two-photon polymerization tech on a Nanoscribe Photonic Professional GT+.
our lithophane coverage this week led us to wonder how much these projects are in demand, especially now that they're easier than ever, and full-color is an option. If you haven't made one, what's holding you back?
Wondering how to take your lithophanes to the next level? Read on to learn how to print vibrant Bambu Lab lithophanes!
Drying filament is important, but drying filament properly is even more important. Learn the science behind what moisture and drying does to polymer filament to get your drying perfect every time.
The right 3D printer lubricant improves the performance and lifespan of your printer, the wrong one can muck up the works. Here's the difference.
The company is teasing the R1, its first standalone laser cutter and engraver. Lasers are already a part of its multi-function machines, but apparently the beam has now earned its own apartment. Details are scarce: full specs are due in late August and pre-orders open in September. Bambu says the R1 applies the same philosophy behind its 3D printers to laser cutting and engraving: less fiddling, more making.
The Prusa XL+, Core One L+, and second-generation Core One+ bring nozzle wiping, revised belts, and other quality-of-life upgrades while existing owners are promised upgrade paths.
