Researchers at the University of Notre Dame have successfully 3D printed blood capillary networks using a surprising technique. Before exploring their method, it’s worth understanding why 3D printing blood capillary networks matters in the first place. In the United States…

From the 3D printer to the couture runway. Jean Paul Gaultier turned to additive manufacturing for five looks in its Autumn/Winter 2026-27 haute couture collection, shown in Paris in July. The collection was Duran Lantink’s first couture outing as creative…

Industrial filament printing has long forced a choice: the affordability of desktop systems or the performance of locked-down industrial platforms. On Tuesday, September 15th, 3Dnatives and HP Additive Manufacturing Solutions will show how the HP IF 600 HT eliminates that…

Soroosh Riazi Isfahani, a design student at the Royal College of Art and Imperial College London, submitted his SLICE project to the James Dyson Award 2026 this summer. The system turns discarded tennis balls into footwear. Manufacturers produce between 300…

It’s a bad time to be a harmful algal bloom (HAB)! On August 6th, Florida Atlantic University announced that a team of its researchers were awarded an $800,475 grant from the Gulf of America Division U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to…

Hi3D has released V3.0 of its all-in-one AI 3D model generator, which now builds geometry at 2048³ voxel resolution. That is up from 1536³ in the previous version, or 2.37 times the voxel count, and texture output goes up to…

Physical AI, the growing category of AI systems built to act in the real world rather than just process data, is one of the fastest-moving corners of the robotics industry. Companies building autonomous robots, automated lab equipment, and warehouse deployments…

Hyundai Motor Group installed its first industrial 3D printer in 1996. Nearly 30 years later, Hyundai Motor and Kia have opened an entire facility dedicated to additive manufacturing research and production: the Additive Manufacturing Solution Center (AMSC), located at the…

One of the most intimidating aspects of 3D printing can be the software element. If you can’t find a pre-designed 3D model that suits your needs, you might have to create your own, and making your own 3D design is…

Since the G1 Series went live on Kickstarter on July 23, the campaign’s comment section has become an active back-and-forth between HeyGears and prospective backers. We introduced the platform in our first look and covered the campaign launch earlier. The…

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing is a powder bed fusion process that uses a laser to fuse polymer powder into solid, functional parts layer by layer. SLS 3D printing works by spreading thin layers of material, selectively sintering each…

An STL file (short for stereolithography) is the most common format for representing the geometry of an object to be 3D-printed. Unlike formats such as OBJ, 3MF, or AMF, STL describes only the shape using a mesh of triangles, without…
