From the Workshop

PLA+ and polycarbonate do not do the same job; while PLA+ stands out for fast, economical, trouble-free prints, polycarbonate can be the better choice for heat and more demanding technical use.

HP’s 600 HT move shows that high-temperature filament printing has entered a more institutional phase for engineering materials such as PEEK, PEI, and similar polymers.

The Mintion W1 announcement shows why filament transfer and spool organization are becoming increasingly important in multi-color FDM printing workflows.

Co Print Quadro aims to reduce purge waste in multi-color/multi-material FFF printing with four independent toolheads and a parking-station approach, and here is what that could mean for [...]

NIT Rourkela’s patented portable extruder aims to make it more accessible to convert plastic waste into composite filament for FDM.

With its August 13, 2026 announcement, Prusa introduced the XL+, CORE One L+, and CORE One+ (Gen 2), with updates that matter for cleaner print starts, faster first layers, and a more upgradeable [...]

Although ABS and TPU are often mentioned together, they actually serve very different needs, and the right choice depends on what the part must do in real use.

Bambu Studio 2.8 aims to make the post-print process more organized in multi-part FDM projects by generating an automatic assembly guide from a STEP file.

The latest step in the Stratasys and Limbitless Solutions partnership shows why FDM-based 3D printing matters for personalization, rapid iteration, and sustainable equipment use in pediatric [...]

HÖRMANN’s 3D-FiberTrain project shows how large-format 3D printing based on granule extrusion is challenging mold costs for rail exterior panels.
