A report from Additive Manufacturing Research indicates that drone manufacturing has become the primary global application for low-cost 3D printers producing functional end-use polymer components and airframes.
Prusa Research has updated its printer hardware lineup with the XL+, CORE One L+, and CORE One+ Gen 2, offering faster calibration, improved cooling, and modular upgrades for existing owners.
Move beyond basic calibration prints with practical, everyday 3D printing projects designed to build skills, improve household organisation, and master material selection.
Artec 3D has introduced the Point II, a second-generation handheld metrology laser scanner featuring higher data capture rates, refined scanning modes, and certified accuracy for industrial quality inspection and reverse engineering.
MIT researchers have created ShiftLens, a design system that produces 3D printed objects capable of changing surface appearance through mechanical motion, eliminating the need for onboard electronics or screens.
Additive manufacturing is transforming custom sports equipment, from adaptive grips to aerodynamic cycling gear. Discover how local South African makers can apply these design strategies to functional desktop 3D printing projects.
