Researchers at Washington State University have developed a customizable electronic skin combining 3D scanning, SLA printing, pressure and temperature sensing, and neural-network calibration.
GKN Aerospace has demonstrated a UAV platform using an additively manufactured engine. The project shows how 3D printing in aerospace is moving beyond brackets and ducts toward core propulsion hardware.
Quickparts is building a multi-country additive manufacturing network designed to reproduce the same qualified parts across different locations with consistent quality.
Denmark’s 3DCP Group has completed 36 student housing units using additive construction technology in the Skovsporet project in Holstebro. The significance is scale: this is a real residential development rather than a single demonstration house.
Mastrex has introduced a six-machine metal laser powder bed fusion range, with the entry model reportedly starting around $39,000 – an unusually low price point for LPBF hardware.
In his latest CNC Kitchen test, Stefan Hermann compares two similarly priced laser-line 3D scanners on real engineering parts, examining accuracy, detail and day-to-day usability.
A fresh Tom’s Hardware review finds that the Anycubic Photon P1 MAX aims to move up the resin-printer market by combining a larger build area with more automation and convenience features.
Prusa has introduced a new translucent PLA family designed for its ColorMix workflow. The goal is to create up to 45 different color shades from five base spools using halftoning on multi-color printers.
Prusa has released the first public preview of PrusaSlicer 3.0. Large parts of the application were rewritten to better support modern multi-printer, multi-bed and multi-tool workflows.
The Sovol M1D Kickstarter campaign closed in late August with more than two thousand backers. The machine combines a fixed extruder with an automatic tool-changing extruder and targets up to seven colors or materials with very little purge waste.
