Stratasys' new F870 combines a meter-long heated build chamber, carbon-fiber material support, integrated drying, and enough filament for days-long factory tooling jobs.
First teased back in 2024, Flashforge's CJ270 promised 10+ millions colors and transparency from its material-jetting resin system. Oh, and a 2025 launch. That window passed us by, but it's ready now and starts shipping in October.
Last week Snapmaker made its FullSpectrum PLA bundle available, and now Prusa Research's Prusament is here with its spin on the concept. The Prusament PLA ColorMix bundle is a seven spool set, including new translucent Prusament PLA in five colors – Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, and White, plus new ColorMix Gold Glitter and Silver Glitter colors, which can be used to add sparkly shading in designs. Available individually at $32.99, a full set of the seven can be picked currently for $179.99, thanks to Prusa's ongoing Back-to-School sale. Read more in the blog post detailing the release.
The G1X Series Kickstarter campaign has officially surpassed $15M with support from over 3,500 backers. Secure $4,000+ in combined campaign savings and cash back before the biggest discount ends on September 11.
The UL Research Institutes new study of five metal-filled FDM filaments found that, compared with conventional polymer filaments, metal composites generally emitted fewer particles by number and lower levels of VOCs (fumes). Downside: the size of emitted matter was larger but mostly still below 1 micron. Relatively little of the embedded metal powder becomes airborne during printing, researchers found. The paper does not name the filament brand, but the tested lineup very closely matches Markforged’s Metal X material system.
When you master supports in Bambu Studio, you improve supported surfaces, make removal easier, save time, and reduce wasted filament.
IFA Berlin is a slog to walk, but worth it for a look at the hardware that’ll keep creative tech interesting over the next year. We found 3D printer debuts between a lot, and we mean a lot, of CNC machines, UV printers and innovative laser tech.

Fresh from its pivot away from making 3D printers under the AnkerMake brand to making desktop UV printers as EufyMake, Anker gave IFA Berlin attendees a sneak peak at its upcoming Next-Gen Fabric Printer that supports both direct-to-garment (DTG) and direct-to-film (DTF) printing, promising desktop apparel customization without the usual industrial-sized setup. The machine is slated for Q1 2027, and EufyMake is already recruiting would-be beta testers at its Facebook page.
