3D Printers

Today, Bambu Lab is launching the A2L, a machine they are referring to as the “Creative Playground.” The company shared that this large-format 3D printer was designed for ambitious creative projects that previously required splitting large models into multiple pieces.…

Metal additive manufacturing has long been associated with high costs and complex infrastructure, keeping the technology out of reach for all but the largest industrial players. A new generation of manufacturers is now working to change that. Among them is…

At RAPID + TCT 2026 this year, Mastrex is tackling one of the biggest barriers in metal additive manufacturing: cost. While laser powder bed fusion has long delivered high-performance parts in materials like titanium and Inconel, the price of entry…

Once an exclusive tool for high-budget labs, selective laser sintering (SLS) has become a practical solution for modern manufacturing. The technology uses a laser to fuse plastic powder layer-by-layer, and historically, it was sidelined by high costs and operational complexity.…

A metal 3D printer for under €10,000 might sound like a pipe dream, but one Dutch engineer is turning it into a reality. Thomas Martinus Gerardus Bakker, a specialist in mechatronics engineering and system design, has developed the Metal 1.0.…

TCT Asia 2026 has made it clear that the race in multi-material FDM 3D printing is unfolding at a pace few in the West anticipated. Over the course of the three-day trade show, we were able to see firsthand five…

For years, a massive divide separated industrial and desktop FDM printers, defined by differences in accuracy, material compatibility, and cost. Today, desktop manufacturers are aiming to narrow that gap, and a new generation of “prosumer” machines from companies like Bambu…

Color 3D printing has been gaining ground in recent years, attracting more users looking to expand their creativity. However, this should not add complexity to the printing process. In fact, users are looking for simplicity, with practical solutions that are…

While 3D printing saves material by only depositing it where it is needed, it still generates waste. What do you do with failed prints, filament scraps, or parts you want to throw away? The young company Creative3DP, led by Priyank…

Large-format FDM 3D printing has moved well beyond niche or experimental use, with a growing number of manufacturers now offering machines capable of producing substantial parts in a single print without stepping into industrial price ranges. In this context, large-format…

Still undecided on a Christmas gift? Don’t panic, we have a solution for you. If you’re considering investing in a 3D printer or a 3D scanner, this list should be right up your alley. We took a closer look at…

According to a study published by Verified Market Research, the resin 3D printing market is on track to reach $37.4 billion by 2031, growing at a rate of 16.4% between 2024 and 2031. This momentum reflects a thriving sector, but…
