Formlabs adds former Apple hardware boss Dan Riccio as an investor and strategic advisor while promoting co-founder Max Lobovsky to board chairman and CPO Dávid Lakatos to President, signaling a harder push into industrial 3D printing.
A V-0 rating is always tied to a wall thickness — here's what UL 94, FAR 25.853 and ASTM E662 actually certify, which flame-retardant filaments, resins and powders you can buy, and why printing certified material does not give you a certified part.
ASTM's F42 committee sorts every 3D printing process into seven official categories, from desktop FDM to industrial metal powder bed fusion. How each one works, its materials, tradeoffs, and where hobbyists vs. industry actually use it.
Formlabs posted all-time-high sales across hardware, services, and SLS in Q2 2026 on the back of its Fuse X1 launch, and says three more printer platforms are coming within a year.
OpenCAL's V2 hardware debuted at Open Sauce 2026 alongside word that Formlabs is helping produce its specialty resin for roughly $100/liter, potentially clearing the last barrier to hobbyist volumetric 3D printing.
OpenCAL's new Tomo app, paired with V2 hardware and a Formlabs resin partnership, wants to strip the command-line barrier off volumetric printing, which cures whole objects in a spinning resin vial in minutes.
Post-curing is the most underestimated variable in MSLA and DLP resin printing. Get the wavelength, timing, and temperature wrong and your parts will be brittle, tacky, or dimensionally unstable regardless of how well they printed.
Lattice midsoles, custom orthotics, and personalized fit are all being produced with 3D printing at commercial scale. Here's what the major brands are doing and what it means for the industry.
Standard photopolymer resin is brittle and UV-sensitive. Engineering resins change that equation dramatically — here's what each functional type actually delivers.
3D printing has transformed jewelry production at every scale — from artisan workshops using castable resin for lost-wax casting to industrial direct metal printing of platinum pieces. Here is the full picture of how the technology is reshaping the industry.
