Two weeks after a Texas jury found Bambu Lab infringed four Stratasys patents, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has dealt Stratasys a setback, finding claims in four of its patents unpatentable. The fight is far from over, but Bambu Lab is steadily chipping away at Stratasys’s case.
Mears' latest Velo3D investment signals a shift from qualification to production, adding dedicated copper-nickel capacity for marine parts traditionally made by casting.
offering up to 35% off filaments and accessories sitewide. Individual spools drop as low as $11.70 for Panchroma Basic PLA, but you can also pick up tougher blends like Fiberon ASA-CF08 for $13 a spool. It's only for a limited time, with many of the deals ending at midnight EST today.
Imagine a 3D printed aircraft part that sends of an alert well before a stress becomes a failure. That's genuinely useful. Researchers at the University of Glasgow and University of Sydney have developed conductive lattices that can map damage as it forms under stress, potentially giving maintenance crews an early warning. The goal: less “what broke?” and more “fix this now.”
Since All3DP last saw the RepRap Micron, it has gone from micron-precision proof-of-concept patterns to a much more complete 3D-printing workflow: redesigned kinematics, new resin chemistry, micron-scale layers, sliced toolpaths, multi-layer structures, and now its first recognizable 3DBenchy.
These free add-ons help bridge one of the biggest gaps in AI models: getting from a good-looking AI model to clean, watertight geometry your slicer can 3D print.
Flashforge's VDS dries up to four spools across two independently controlled chambers, with Creator 5 integration as its main selling point. Shipping starts Oct. 20.
Fall is here, and while your wardrobe might be getting a seasonal refresh, why should your 3D scanning setup miss out?
If you're a Cura slicer enthusiast, learn to how to translate PETG printing principles into practical slicer settings.
judging by the response to last week's poll. That's incredible to see, and we'll work on a way of doing a proper survey of all the specific machines you've all operated over the years. My first contact with a 3D printer was a Monoprice Select Mini, which didn't print particularly well and died after a fruitless Christmas spent trying to print ornaments and decorations. I had much greater success with a Wanhao Duplicator 6 afterwards.
Was your first contact with 3D printing better than mine? Is your first printer still in service?

If your 3D printer farm has reached the point where “just open another browser tab” no longer qualifies as management, Watchtower would like a word. Now on Kickstarter, the locally hosted dashboard corrals Bambu Lab, Klipper, OctoPrint, and PrusaLink machines into one interface, with camera feeds, filament tracking, error monitoring, job queues, and automatic routing of prints to suitable machines. Its makers are leaning heavily on local operation rather than funneling your print farm through yet another cloud account – a concept apparently novel enough to be a selling point in 2026.
