2026-10-22Bambu Studio 2.8.4 Beta Adds a Warning for Skipped Shrinkage Compensation on Painted Models
Correction, Oct. 22, 2026: An earlier version of this article described the shrinkage-compensation change as a fix for a bug that ruined prints, referred to a per-axis scaling factor, and mentioned paint-on-supports. The release notes describe a new informational prompt: the slicing engine skips shrinkage compensation on painted models by default, and Studio now says so when the filament's shrinkage factor is not 100%. The shrinkage setting is a per-filament factor, and the article now says so.

2026-10-22Prusa Ships Firmware 6.10.3 for XL+ and 6.9.1 for CORE One INDX
Correction, Oct. 22, 2026: An earlier version of this article said the 6.9.1 release added PVA and BVOH filament profiles; Prusa's 6.9.1 notes say that feature was not actually included because of a process error. It also said Prusa had not published which homing failures the fix addresses and speculated about homing switches and sensors; the notes say some printers completed initial homing calibration but failed on subsequent homing attempts, and that motor currents were adjusted. The Square Gantry Wizard description is now attributed to the GitHub 6.9.1 release notes rather than the knowledge base.

2026-10-22A Quantum-Hardware Company Launches a 3D-Printable Dielectric That Lasers Turn Into Carbon
Correction, Oct. 22, 2026: An earlier version of this article said QTREX's current form dated only to the April 6, 2026 acquisition, that the INSU300 launch fell inside the 86-day reporting window, that INSU300 was shipping as chip-package shielding, and that its carbon layer serves as a stray-photon absorber. QTREX is an existing Nasdaq company that acquired the AME business on April 6; the INSU300 launch came on September 23, after the period; the release says INSU300 is being provided to two government and defense organizations for validation; and no readable source describes package-integrated shielding or a stray-photon absorber, so those passages were removed.

2026-10-22Snapmaker and Phaetus Launch the Liber High-Flow Hotend for the U1
Correction, Oct. 22, 2026: An earlier version of this article said the two companies claimed the Liber hotend raises throughput without running hotter or using larger nozzles, and described the launch as a shift from Snapmaker's earlier closed toolhead designs. Neither source says either. The article now cites the reported flow gains (PLA 66%, ABS 87%, PETG HF 43%, under matched energy-use conditions) and describes Liber as an addition to the U1's partner accessory ecosystem.

2026-10-22Bambu Lab Steps Outside 3D Printing With a $2,499 CO2 Laser
Correction, Oct. 22, 2026: An earlier version of this article said first units were estimated to ship in early November, roughly six weeks after pre-orders opened, and quoted the store listing as "Meet Bambu Lab R1: 55W CO₂ Laser. Big Job. Light Work." Bambu's store lists the standalone R1 as shipping around October 31, the Long Material Bundle around November 20 and the rotary bundle in December, and the listing's tagline is "Big job. Light work."

2026-10-22Sheffield's Instruct3D Launches 'Additive Build Intelligence' to Put Hard Evidence Behind Metal 3D-Printed Parts
Correction, Oct. 22, 2026: An earlier version of this article quoted the phrase "born out of >20 years of leading academic research" as Instruct3D's own description on its website, and said the company is explicit that the product is the productized output of Sheffield research and that Sheffield groups have published on process monitoring, melt pool physics and defect prediction. Neither source supports those statements. The article now attributes to 3D Printing Industry the report that the system draws on more than two decades of AM research at the University of Sheffield.

2026-10-22Amaero Pulls Its Nasdaq IPO as Metal-Powder Maker Cites 'Adverse Market Conditions'
Correction, Oct. 22, 2026: An earlier version of this article stated that Amaero's own read of the room was that its assumed $7.06 share price would not hold up, and that investors were not lining up at that valuation. Neither source says this; the article now says Amaero cited only "adverse market conditions" and has not said what drove the decision.

2026-10-22Formnext 2026 Draws 124 Chinese Exhibitors as Manufacturers Push Into Europe
Correction, Oct. 22, 2026: An earlier version of this article described the Chinese exhibitor count as a record in the headline and attributed the export push to domestic price competition, margin and market share. The sources give the count as 124, the largest foreign group, make no record claim, and Wenzler cited broader domestic competition from a government strategy that created many new companies and a harder-to-enter US market.

2026-10-22Sinto Advanced Ceramics Pushes Beyond Oxides, Adds Aluminum Nitride and Silicon Nitride
Correction, Oct. 22, 2026: An earlier version of this article stated that non-oxide ceramics require binder-jet or paste-extrusion processes followed by controlled-atmosphere sintering. Neither cited source names those processes; the article now says only that these ceramics are produced through industrial printing and thermal post-processing.

2026-10-22Snapmaker Opens Space 3D-Model Platform, Pays Creators by Print Time Instead of Downloads
Correction, Oct. 22, 2026: An earlier version of this article said Snapmaker frames its print-time rewards as a fix for bias in download-based economics, and that the U1 toolchanger avoids purge waste and print-time penalties compared with AMS-style switching. Snapmaker's announcement says cumulative print time reflects both how often a model is printed and the time each print represents; 3D Printing Industry reports purging still occurs at startup and calibration, and that the waste and speed figures are Snapmaker's claims. The article now says so.

2026-10-22NIST Ships Reference Material to Standardize Photopolymer 3D Printing
Correction, Oct. 22, 2026: An earlier version of this article described the Jacobs Equation's second constant as "cure depth at that threshold" (it is penetration depth), and said photopolymer standards lagged metal powder-bed and FDM/FFF because of light-source characterization, citing photodiode calibration, beam profile and measurement geometry. Neither the comparison nor those mechanisms are in the sources, so they were removed. The article now says that, per NIST, laboratory discrepancies in measuring light penetration depth and critical exposure energy have hindered commercial scaling.

2026-10-22Inside Huafast: The Chinese Print Farm Running 15,000 Desktop 3D Printers as a Factory
Correction, Oct. 22, 2026: An earlier version of this article said Huafast's homepage confirmed figures Petch reported firsthand, and gave dollar estimates for test-part and tooling costs. The homepage cites about 10,000 printers, lower than the 15,000 Sven quoted, and Petch notes the counts are the company's own figures; the cost estimates were not in the source and have been removed.

2026-10-22Makelab Moves Into Brooklyn's MADE: Bush Terminal to Chase Tier-One Industrial Clients
Correction, Oct. 22, 2026: An earlier version of this article said the limit that mattered was physical site access, not printing capacity. The sources do not rule capacity out; Designboom says the new site also unlocks production capacity. The article now says so.

2026-10-22Prusa Starts Selling Prusament Pellets in Pre-Dried, Lab-Size Batches Up to 14 kg
Correction, Oct. 22, 2026: An earlier version of this article said Prusa had not responded to either reader comment about hardware. A Prusa community manager replied on October 14 to the desktop filament extruder question, saying there are no current plans; the pellet-head comment for the XL has no reply. The article now says so.

2026-10-22Extrudio Renders Product Photos From Your G-Code, Not Your STL
Correction, Oct. 22, 2026: An earlier version of this article described one of the site's staged scenes as black marble. The site's marble scene is a marble table, and the article now says so.

2026-10-22Two Open-Source Rust CAD Clones, Built by AI Agents, Take Aim at SolidWorks and AutoCAD
Correction, Oct. 22, 2026: An earlier version of this article said the SELENE rover example appears in the SolidCraft README. The README only links to a "what people built" showcase page; the rover is featured on that page and in 3D Printing Industry's coverage, and the article now says so.

2026-10-22Constructor AI Opens a Free Browser Test of Its 'Design Without CAD' Tool for 3D Printers
Correction, Oct. 22, 2026: An earlier version of this article said 3D ADEPT noted the release does not say which printers are supported. 3D ADEPT says the project's website lists Kobra 2 and Kobra S1 workflows, and that these compatibility claims have not been independently tested.

2026-10-22VoxTech3D Becomes North American Distributor for Nano-XS3DTech Micro-DLP Printers
Correction, Oct. 22, 2026: An earlier version of this article described Nano-XS3DTech as younger than VoxTech3D. Nano-XS3DTech was founded in 2023, before VoxTech3D (December 2024), so it is the slightly older company; the article now says so.

2026-09-29Researchers Sink 23 3D Printed Reefs to 1,100 Meters to Regrow Cold-Water Coral
An earlier version of this article said both sites once held extensive coral reefs ground down by decades of trawling, described the two target corals as historically dominant and among the most widely studied, and attributed a hard-substrate rationale to Dr. Anthony Grehan. The sources say only that both sites are now closed to bottom trawling, which damages cold-water coral habitats, and that Lophelia pertusa and Madrepora oculata are the two main reef-building species. The article no longer makes the other claims.

2026-09-29Safran's Additive Manufacturing Campus Turns Five: From 5 Serial Parts to 25+, 18,000 Parts a Year
An earlier version of this article said Safran gives no targets or dates for its next-five-year plans. Safran also says its Haillan center of excellence plans to grow to as many as 250 employees and expects new Group additive production capabilities to be developed between 2030 and 2040; the article now says so.

2026-09-29NIST Ships Reference Material to Standardize Photopolymer 3D Printing
An earlier version of this article called RM 8047 the "first" reference material for photopolymer printing, said RM 8047 makes a lab's results directly comparable to NIST's traceable values, and made claims about past qualification practice, metal AM, and future slicer portability. None of these are in the sources, so they were removed. NIST calls the material a "major milestone" and describes its audience as 3D printing manufacturers and researchers.
What does not count as a correction
Stories develop after the first report. When later events change the picture we publish a follow-up article rather than rewriting the original; the original stays as the record of what was known on its date.
