The 3D printing giant is entering the 3D scanning market. Could a simpler scan-to-print workflow be next?

The global 3D printing market is booming again, but the biggest winners are at opposite ends of the price spectrum. According to market research firm Context, overall global 3D printer revenues jumped 31% year-on-year in Q2 2026, driven by surging demand for affordable desktop printers (up 36%) and a recovery in high-end industrial machines (up 40%) fueled by aerospace and defense manufacturing. Mid-market machines are still getting squeezed, suggesting that increasingly capable budget machines are eating into demand for more expensive systems.

We tested this new app that renders photorealistic images of 3D prints without actually printing them. Handy for sellers, perhaps less so for those of us who want to see what we're really downloading.

This DIY Bambu Lab A1 mod weaves yarn directly into 3D prints, just don't ask it to knit you a sweater. Researchers at TU Delft want your Bambu Lab A1 to take up knitting. They've designed FilaLoom, an open-source DIY attachment using a tool-changing system to alternate between extruding plastic and embedding yarn into prints, producing everything from squishy, fabric-like surfaces to woven structures and cable-driven moving parts. The mod STLs, assembly instructions, and Grasshopper scripts for generating custom G-code are all free so you can give your own A1 a crafty little identity crisis.

Hi3D is open-sourcing one of its 3D models, while Meshy is bringing its tools to an open-source AI assistant. Both moves could put AI-powered 3D model creation in more places in your 3D printing processes.
New Bambu Lab P3C: Seven heads, zero details. What do we know about Bambu Lab's next 3D printer? Not much, but the company has apparently left us a few breadcrumbs. Photos from certification filings reveal the P3C, a seemingly compact, enclosed P-series 3D printer with what looks like a seven-head tool-changing system. Think P2S, but with a serious case of multiple personalities. Pricing and launch timing remain a mystery. Seven heads are better than one, but none of them is talking.
