Formlabs announces a leadership change with Rob Willett joining the board, while Carl Bass leaves after eight years. Willett, former CEO of Cognex, brings expertise in automation and machine vision, marking a strategic shift for the company aiming to expand its influence in professional additive manufacturing and prepare for a potential IPO.

3D printing is revolutionizing architecture: models and concrete houses in days, zero waste, recycled materials and circular design for a sustainable future.

Quick guide: choose the right CAD to print in 3D without errors. From free models (Tinkercad, Fusion 360) to modeling rules, you get to optimized printing in a few hours.

3D post-processing failures cause scrap and costs. Identifying causes (washing, curing, finishing) and applying visual/metrology diagnostics reduces errors, optimizes processes, and cuts scrap.

Industrial SLA 3D printing reduces costs and setup times by up to 75%, transforming tooling and prototyping in automotive and aerospace with micrometric precision and savings up to 200,000 $ per project.

3D printing revolutionizes fashion: rapid prototyping, custom-fit garments, and sustainable on-demand production. Challenges regarding materials and comfort remain, but the future is personalized, distributed, and zero-impact.

Post-processing is key for 3D printing: automates supports, polishing, chemical finishes, and quality control to produce efficient and precise end-use components.

Industrial 3D printing grows beyond 20% annually, moving from 40 to 250 billion dollars by 2035. Automation, aerospace, and defense adopt it for critical parts, cutting costs and times. Challenges: scalability, regulations, skills.

Accessories and post-processing techniques transform 3D printing into professional production: automated washing, chemical smoothing, polymerization, and coloring guarantee industrial-quality finishes on every material.

Practical guide to software development and open source repository for 3D printing: formats, slicing, security, versioning, and cloud and industrial integration.

In 2026, consumer 3D printing becomes mainstream: AI, recycled materials, and DIY systems like ExtrudeX lower costs and technical barriers, promoting sustainability and domestic autonomy.

Automation, sensors, and AI are transforming 3D printing into efficient production: fewer supports, in-house recycling, real-time monitoring, and intelligent software for optimized workflows.
