For the fifth year in a row, IBM’s X-Force Threat Intelligence Index 2026 found that manufacturing remains the most targeted industry for cyberattacks. The sector accounted for 27.7% of incidents, only a slight increase from 26% last year. And the…

While stereolithography is a well-established additive manufacturing technology used by many, it comes with its share of challenges, particularly when it comes to scaling up. Manufacturers are often forced to make a difficult trade-off between speed and quality, while also…

If you’ve ever tried printing an AI-generated 3D model, you know that the experience can come with some obstacles: the 3D model may have an undesirable “AI bumps” (small, irregular imperfections or protrusions), details that are not feasible for your…

For anyone immersed in the world of additive manufacturing, Thingiverse is a cornerstone of the 3D printing community. As one of the industry’s most influential file-sharing platforms, it hosts a massive library of millions of user-generated designs, primarily available as…

Another year, another wave of STL files that are genuinely worth printing. In 2025, designers moved past the usual desk toys and figurines and leaned into designs that solve real, everyday problems. This year’s list has a bit of everything:…

The young company Advanced Additive is dedicated to optimizing extrusion-based 3D printing at the software level. Uncertainty during material deposition often leads to poor part quality and low repeatability. With its software Project Path, Advanced Additive aims to provide solutions.…

The slicer plays a key role in the 3D printing process, and many companies have developed their own software solutions to support this essential step. One of them is Elegoo, a company founded in 2015 that continues to grow in…

In any 3D printing project, certain steps must be followed, regardless of the type of printing used. We start with 3D modeling, followed by the generation of G-Code using a slicer. Next, the object is printed, and finally, the necessary…

AMIS, a subsidiary of HYBRID Software, developed AMIS Pro, a software solution dedicated to 3D printing using SLS, MJF, and jetting technologies. Specifically designed to meet the needs of additive manufacturing, AMIS Pro offers a complete solution for preparing models…

Polygons play an essential role in 3D modeling, allowing the design of complex objects with great precision. By assembling simple geometric shapes, it becomes possible to create a variety of three-dimensional models, particularly suitable for 3D printing. But how do…

CHITUBOX slicing software has just announced major updates for all its users, which should make 3D printing prep easier, streamline workflows and help ensure more reliable models. First, its Basic and Pro versions have been merged into a single application.…

3D design software is essential for creating models for additive manufacturing, and 3DCoat is one such program. Developed by Ukrainian studio Pilgway, which brings together experts from the US, Argentina, and Ukraine, the program was launched in 2007 by Andrew…
