From the Workshop

Research from IMDEA and Lawrence Berkeley shows why device-level optimization matters for print farm quality by measuring how identical-model 3D printers can behave differently.

The filament support Xenia Materials provided to Politecnico di Torino’s ASTRA team shows why engineering materials like ASA and nylon are becoming more important for robotic FDM parts.

The Prusa XL+, CORE One+ Gen 2, and CORE One L+ announcement highlights reliability, upgradeability, and everyday production workflow over pure speed in desktop FDM.

Prusa’s July 23, 2026 announcement of Prusament PA11 Natural shows why it matters for FDM material selection in gears and moving parts.

Kentstrapper’s large-format FDM printer called Mille is bringing one-piece production back into focus with its 1 cubic meter build volume and emphasis on long-print reliability.

We summarize whether PLA+ or ABS makes more sense for everyday functional parts in terms of heat, impact resistance, printability, and cost logic.

Onkos Surgical’s 1,000th patient-specific pelvic implant case shows why medical 3D printing is becoming increasingly critical in complex anatomy.

According to VoxelMatters' August 14, 2026 report, the 101st Air Refueling Wing is expanding its in-house 3D printing capacity to shorten production times for maintenance parts.

In 3D printing, holes often come out undersized, especially on the horizontal axis; this guide summarizes why hole compensation is necessary and how to apply it in practice.

Prusa Research’s update announced on August 12, 2026, introducing the XL+, CORE One+, and CORE One L+, stands out in FDM workflows with cleaner print starts, faster calibration, and an upgrade [...]
