When 3D printed, these parts can then have this light projected on them and change color, and can be changed back after. This has major implications for future clothes &#8211; if you are bored of your purple dress, just shine a light on it till it turns blue!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/novgMFIBcqg\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p><div class=\"dnati-inside-article-leaderboard\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"dnati-2699959151\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/eu.snapmaker.com\/products\/snapmaker-u1-3d-printer?utm_source=3dnatives&#038;utm_medium=pr&#038;utm_campaign=u1launch2025&#038;utm_content=u1preorder\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"850 x 150px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-600x106.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-1200x212.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-768x136.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-1536x271.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-2048x361.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-160x28.jpeg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" width=\"850\" height=\"150\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">2 &#8211; 3D Printed Ears for Children with Microtia<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Microtia is a condition that affects children leaving them with no\/deformed ears. Using 3D printing, cells were taken from these children&#8217;s ears and grown into ear-resembling shapes. They were then grafted onto the children where they continued to grow as normal ears. This shows how 3D printing can help affected children live happier, more normal lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q2XYdJImMiY\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">3 &#8211; WATG 3D Printed House<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We recently spoke about the variety of work occurring in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/3d-printing-construction-310120184\/\">3D printed construction industry<\/a> in our feature story. Another effort in 3D printing houses is this effort by WATG to create a house in which the sun can shine, and you can feel more in touch with nature. They said that they wanted to do this as the sun can change people&#8217;s dispositions and make people feel more happy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/234645993?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">4 &#8211; Casting Metal Parts from an Ultimaker 3D Printer<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Though <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/3dnatives-lab-test-ultimaker240720174\/\">Ultimaker<\/a> are not in the metal 3D printer market, they do operate in the production of metal parts, as shown in this video. Ultimaker 3D printers are used to create the casts which are then processed with metal to produce complex metal parts on-demand. 3D printing significantly speeds up this process and brings down the cost of one-off part production.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pYEQhqGZKJ8\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">5 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/3D-compare\/3d-systems\">3D Systems<\/a> and Decker Shoes<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Decker Shoes are a prominent footwear brand who, with 3D printing, have taken their design and innovation process to the next level.
