Overview Rep5x is an open source retrofit that enables true 5-axis printing on common consumer DOF machines such as the Ender 3 V3 and Ender 5 Pro. By adding two rotational axes, yaw and pitch, to the existing Cartesian motion, Rep5x lets you orient parts during printing so complex overhangs can be built without conventional…
Introduction Miniaturized membraneless photo-electrochemical fuel cells represent a new class of compact energy converters that combine 3D printing, photoelectrochemistry, and clever fluid architectures to produce sustainable, small-scale power. Early demonstrations of these devices highlight how additive manufacturing can create intricate geometries at the scale needed for integrated sensors, lab-on-chip systems, and portable electronics (bioengineer.org) and…
Introduction AutoSmooth is an integrated post-processing initiative for metal additive manufacturing developed by AM Solutions with Headmade Materials and NMB. Built around the ColdMetalFusion (CMF) workflow, AutoSmooth targets end-to-end automation of depowdering, surface smoothing, and feedstock recycling. Early results indicate meaningful reductions in hands-on time and cycle duration, with full lifecycle analysis planned for mid…
Additive manufacturing is moving beyond static parts toward systems that can sense, adapt, and reconfigure. FluxLab, a new research toolset published on December 2, 2025, illustrates that transition by combining multi-material 3D printing, embedded actuation, and built-in deformation sensing to produce shape-changing devices ready for practical demonstrations. The work focuses on printable silicone devices that…
Overview Firestorm Labs is introducing a new model of field-forward manufacturing with its xCell mobile units. Each xCell is a climate-hardened shipping container that houses industrial-grade HP 3D printers and a compact production workflow able to produce up to 17 small-to-medium drones per week with only a handful of operators. The company has secured a…
Stamford, CT – November 21, 2025 Police in Stamford, Connecticut have arrested two brothers after an investigation led officers to what they describe as a small-scale ghost gun manufacturing setup involving 3D-printed firearm parts. According to authorities, the investigation began in late October after officers received information suggesting that untraceable firearms were being produced using…
