From the Workshop

The Sears think[box] at Case Western added 24 new Bambu Lab printers to its prototyping area, showing that rapid FDM iteration is now part of the corporate product development flow. The move [...]

Lumafield’s new X-ray CT platforms show why prototype 3D printing quality control has become more critical. The news highlights the value of early validation in FDM prototyping.

HOZO's NeoBlade aims to make support removal and precision cleanup steps more controlled in 3D printing post-processing. The story is a good reminder of why finishing directly affects the quality [...]

Koobz's Bambu Lab-based production model shows how on-demand shoe manufacturing with flexible TPU 3D printing can scale. The story offers valuable lessons for flexible parts and rapid prototyping.

Prusa Research's open-source ColorMix announcement makes the idea of pushing multi-color FDM printing to dozens of shades with just five filaments far more accessible. The development points in a [...]

Dow's June 24 message about a tougher PLA shows why reliability expectations in prototype 3D printing are rising again. Here we summarise what that means for your practical FDM part choices.

SKZ's custom head protector project shows why digital scanning and low-volume production are gaining importance in medical 3D printing. We summarized what the news means for FDM prototyping.

E3D introduced its DLC-coated Bastion Coated Gears set for Bambu Lab printers. The news highlights why extruder durability is so critical with abrasive materials like carbon fiber reinforced filament.

Standard FDM prints are not fully waterproof, but with the right material, wall thickness and settings it is possible to produce parts that are quite watertight.

The sculpture collection project in Bremen shows why 3D scanning technology matters not only for archiving, but also for replicas, reverse engineering and FDM prototyping.
