Football wide receiver and pickleball player Terrell Owens worked with Syntilay's AI-driven footwear technology to shape the 3D-printed recovery shoe.
MIT's 3D-printed triaxial electrospray nozzles could revolutionize drug and self-healing material manufacturing. By using a relatively inexpensive resin printing approach, the new nozzle fabrication technique removes the need for a semiconductor-class cleanroom facility.
A research team at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden has come up with a new bio-derived material made from yeast. It can be used with 3D-printing technology to produce a construction material which can be modified specifically for the architectural and interior design field.

The MAMA-1000 pellet 3D printer from Modix prints with a whopping 3kg an hour throughput.
California's Assembly has passed AB 2047, the California Firearm Printing Prevention Act, sending the amended bill to the state Senate.
Voltage Vessels hopes to allow the U.S. Navy to build boats where they're needed and reduce reliance on an overly long supply chain. The company claims that it can forward deploy its 3D printers in-theater and also increase output up to 15,000 metric tons annually.
Without much to go on, fans speculate what the newest Bambu Lab 3D printer could be.
Europe's largest 3D-printed apartment building has been completed in France. Containing 12 social housing apartments spread across three floors, the project's printing process was carried out in just 34 days.

A decades-old patent from MIT Professor Bill Freeman inspired the new “Y-zipper,” a three-sided fastener that can snap gear, robots, and art into shape with the push of a button. Long before shape-shifting robots and self-assembling structures became engineering goals, one MIT professor had already imagined a zipper that could transform floppy materials into rigid [...]
Bambu Lab is once more in hot water after user Moreiras3D posted a video of a melted A1 3D printer to Instagram. The footage shows an A1 with its side completely melted down to the metal chassis, but some of the key details behind the incident remain unknown.
A patent filed in 1985 is being dusted off as a source of inspiration for a new 3D-printed triangular-shaped zipper that seamlessly fastens chairs, tents, robots and purses, making them simpler to pack and set up just with a press of a button.

The SFC says that including proprietary code alongside software under AGPLv3 breaks the open-source license, and that Bambu Lab has been doing this for years.
The day is coming when you may walk past a robot and have no idea it was a robot. Over years of engineering, we've given robots skeletons, brains, senses, and even a nervous system. Muscles have proven particularly complex (not that the other things were easy).

Bambu Labs continues to draw fire.
A keen nozzle-head has dramatically sped up their 3D printer using the portable power of a Nintendo Switch and Klipper firmware replacement.
Louis Rossmann posted yet another YouTube video taunting the 3D printing juggernaut into taking legal action. In the video, he stated the contentious fork of OrcaSlicer-BambuLab was now hosted on his own FULU (Freedom from Unethical Limitations) Foundation GitHub.
A startup called Vitriform3D has developed an innovative 3D printing process that makes use of the abundance of post-consumer glass for raw material.
MIT researchers have developed a 3D-printed three-sided zipper that rapidly transforms floppy structures into rigid beams, robotic limbs, and deployable frameworks using triangular geometry.
Designed to be used as a standalone device, the 3DMakerPro Toucan allows users to capture a point cloud, generate a 3D model, and export it without using a computer. The hardware has a premium feel, and the Class 3R laser can create detailed point clouds quickly. However, the software lacks polish and has some quirks. Tracking loss, inconsistent export via Wi-Fi, and blurry color textures are all…
Louis Rossmann has officially pledged $10,000 to cover the initial legal fees for an independent software developer threatened with a cease and desist letter from Bambu Lab. He posted a video on Saturday to mobilize the Right to Repair community to back the developer and crowd-fund his legal defense.
Chromatic 3D Materials has successfully tested 3D-printed rocket propellant capable of withstanding 1,800 PSI combustion pressures, potentially paving the way for faster rocket production, more advanced thrust geometries, and resilient distributed defense manufacturing.
Independent software developer Pawel Jarczak has voluntarily shuttered his popular “OrcaSlicer-BambuLab” project following legal threats from Bambu Lab, ending one man’s fight to restore direct control to the popular third-party slicer.
Noctua has opened Pandora's Box by releasing 3D CAD files of many of its fans and accessories, though with some slight modifications to protect Noctua's IP.
Feminist Hackers share a compelling solution for custom PCB-needy DIYers - a hand-made wild clay prehistoric-fired alternative.
Experts warn that "safety algorithms" are a death sentence for makerspaces, schools, and innovation.
