Lithophanes offer a unique way to add some sophistication to your photos. Check out how to make your own lithophane 3D print!
Machines have gotten better. Operators haven't kept pace, and in aerospace and defense supply chains, that gap is starting to matter.
Greenguard certification is becoming a selling point for school and home 3D printers. We break down which machines and filament combos actually qualify, and what the label leaves out.
Military-focused drone manufacturer Firestorm says its xCell microfactory kept several HP MJF 3D printers busy aboard the USS Essex, producing more than 1,000 parts, including components for 12 Squall FPV drones, in waves reaching 12 feet on the way to RIMPAC, the multinational military exercise in Hawaii. Service members assembled the drones en route and later flew them in a counter-UAS exercise.
The experimental SegviGen system can automatically identify individual components within a 3D model, and its researchers have already released the code, pretrained models, and an interactive demo.
Priced from ~$46,000, this Florence-based manufacturer's new machine packs a full cubic meter of actively heated build space
iAM3D’s enormous LPW Z2500 combines powder- and wire-fed laser DED in one machine, with a 2.5-meter-tall build envelope, 6-kW laser, and controlled argon atmosphere.
It's easy for us on the consumer content side of All3DP to view 3D printing through a personal I'll-do-it-myself kind of lens, but the truth is there are distinct advantages to outsourcing some print jobs to a service. The two that spring to mind are material choice (good luck printing steel at home) and confidence trusting the result print. Have you used one?
These free calibration models help you diagnose a wide range of 3D printing problems and choose the right setting to fix them.
New U.S. and EU rules are closing in on vague biodegradability claims, and could change how PLA filament and the resulting products are marketed to consumers.
With a global shutter sensor and up to 0.05 mm resolution, the Turtle is a modular scanner that turns any object, from tiny parts to full car frames, into a clean 3D file.
We used Hi3D Studio to divide a humanoid model, add articulated connectors, and arrange the resulting parts for printing. The tools produced a usable result, but several essential steps have a learning curve.
The enclosed CoreXY printer boasts a more powerful chamber heater, nozzle-contact leveling, an X-axis linear rail, new AI camera detection, and three-stage filtration, compared to the Plus4.
Researchers in Japan have developed an additive manufacturing process for producing tungsten carbide-cobalt parts with industrial-grade hardness while potentially reducing material waste.
MakerWorld user Auxcron's incredible 1:2.5 scale reconstruction of the Volkswagen 1.9 TDI engine is a sight to behold. Totalling some 300+ components requiring more than 50 hours of total printing time, the result is a fully animated monument to great fuel economy.
The files aren't publicly available – yet. Auxcron is preparing to launch the project as a crowdfunding campaign on MakerWorld, with the proceeds providing funds and time to improve the fit and finish of the parts, author the build guide and BOM, and generally give it the polish it deserves before releasing the files.
Now available in Translucent Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, White, Black, plus Transparent Smoke Black, 3D-Fuel’s new Pro PCTG colors offer a tougher-than-PETG-prints-like-PLA spin on FullSpectrum color prints for realistic color mixing.
Step up from TinkerCAD with this open-source parametric modeling tool that turns surface patterns into physical, 3D-printable geometry without needing a subscription—just keep in mind it's still an early beta.
