Specialized has introduced a new saddle that allows elite cyclists to stop choosing between comfort and performance. The S-Works Power EVO with Mirror is an upgraded version of the brand’s well-known Power series. Designed for riders who shift their weight…

Researchers at Caltech have developed a novel approach to metallurgy that enables precise control over both the chemical composition and microstructure of metallic materials, significantly enhancing their mechanical resilience. Traditionally, however, metallurgy has followed a very different path. “If you…

Resins play a central role in many 3D printing technologies. In fact, the very first 3D printing method—stereolithography(SLA)—relies on a UV-sensitive liquid resin that solidifies when exposed to ultraviolet light. This process, known as photopolymerization, is a hallmark of resin…

Three brothers from Scotland are taking on a monumental challenge that shows how 3D printing is not just for the workshop but for the open ocean! Ewan, Jamie, and Lachlan Maclean are currently nearing the end of their 9,000-mile (approximately…

A group of South Korea’s leading companies and research institutions is driving a major breakthrough in space technology. The Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH), Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), KP Aero Industries, AM Solutions, and Hanyang University have partnered…

3D printing, though it hasn’t yet reached its full potential, is already starting to significantly change healthcare professionals’ practices. In the medical field, where traditional methods struggle to meet the growing demand for affordable, custom-made devices, additive manufacturing offers innovative…

In a new development within the defense sector, the United Kingdom’s Royal Air Force has successfully installed its first in-house manufactured 3D printed component to an operational Typhoon fighter jet at RAF Coningsby. This is a new milestone that signals…

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed an innovative medical implant that can protect people with type 1 diabetes from dangerous drops in blood sugar during emergencies, a condition known as hypoglycemia. The small 3D-printed implant contains…

OpenAI recently announced the launch of GPT-5, the newest version of its language model that CEO Sam Altman described as “having an expert with a doctorate in your pocket.” This new update brings significant improvements to the current models’ reasoning,…

Pantheon Design, usually known for making fast industrial 3D printers, recently showed off an all 3D-printed electric dirt bike made with their HS-Pro system. CEO Bob Cao’s dislike for the Honda Motocompacto sparked the project, which turned from a simple…

Some people love them, others can’t stand them: amusement parks with extreme roller coasters, spooky attractions, adrenaline rushes, and moments of pure terror. Today, these parks no longer focus solely on the rides; they’re all about the full experience. That’s…

3D printers can produce a wide range of three-dimensional objects using various materials. Depending on the technology, this may involve curing a liquid resin with a light source (SLA, DLP, LCD) or sintering powdered material (SLS, LPBF). In extrusion-based processes,…
