A precision-machinery company with no prior 3D printing history showed off an eight-toolhead printer promising a 10x cut in multicolor purge waste at Formnext Asia Shenzhen.
Read the story →Creality swung to a net loss in H1 2026 despite 12.9% revenue growth, just three months after a 3,829x-oversubscribed Hong Kong IPO, and simultaneously unveiled plans for an RMB550M Shenzhen AM headquarters.
Somerset's library 3D printing service scanned a 1,700-year-old gold Roman signet ring with a Creality Sermoon P1 and printed a handling replica so museum visitors can hold what the fragile original can't survive touching.
Marlin runs entirely on your printer's own board; Klipper splits the job with a host computer. Both now do input shaping and pressure control. Here is how the two actually compare — and who ships which one stock.
Shenzhen's Snapmaker closed a ¥1 billion (~€129M/$140M) Series C on July 8, 2026, led by Cathay Capital, in what the company calls the largest consumer 3D-printing funding round in two years.
Formnext Asia Shenzhen's August 2026 edition gets a hands-on Maker Day with factory tours and an open-mic forum, plus a formal matchmaking program pairing overseas distributors with Chinese 3D printing giants like Bambu Lab, Creality, and Elegoo.
Creality's MakeNow platform now runs on Tencent's Hunyuan 3D V2.5 model, letting users turn a photo or sketch into a printable file in minutes as the company courts a 2026 Hong Kong IPO.
The K1C is Creality's answer to the question of whether a 600 mm/s CoreXY machine can handle abrasive composite filaments without constant nozzle replacement. The answer is mostly yes, with caveats that matter for serious users.
Flexible filaments are not interchangeable. TPU, TPE, and TPC differ substantially in hardness, chemical resistance, print temperature, and long-term fatigue behavior. Choosing the wrong one means a part that either fails in service or was never printable in the first place.
The Ender 3 V3 replaces the classic bed-slinger architecture with CoreXY, adds input shaping, and targets 600 mm/s — all while maintaining the price point that made Ender 3 synonymous with budget FDM.
The A1 Combo sits between the A1 Mini and the P1S — a bed-slinger with multicolor capability aimed at makers who want a larger bed without stepping up to a CoreXY machine.
Two years after its launch, the X1 Carbon remains Bambu Lab's flagship enclosed CoreXY. We assess where it still leads, where newer competitors have caught up, and who it's actually for in mid-2026.
