Attention Star Wars fans! We're 3D printing the second half of an Imperial Star Destroyer LIVE on Twitch right now! Prepare for some serious starship construction! #StarWarsCommunity

My partner asked for a last minute sign today. 3D printing to the rescue!
Made a sign for today… 3D printed letters, foam core, spray paint… then added a 3D printed handle.

Prediction for today from 2016:
"The United Kingdom is now the region’s foremost knowledge-based economy. We lead the world in biotech, law, education, the audio-visual sector, financial services and software. New industries, from 3D printing to driverless cars, have sprung up around the country."

Two-photon 3D printing of functional microstructures inside living cells
3D printing has revolutionized numerous scientific fields and industries, with printing in biological systems emerging as a rapidly advancing area of research. However, its application to the subcellular level remains largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrate for the first time the fabrication of custom-shaped polymeric microstructures directly inside living cells using two-photon polymerization. A biocompatible photoresist is injected into live cells and selectively polymerized with a femtoseco…

Strategic Adoption of 3D Printing in Multi-Product Supply Chains: Cost and Capacity Considerations
This paper explores the integration of Additive Manufacturing (or 3D printing) into decentralized supply chains, focusing on the strategic decisions manufacturers and retailers make when facing capacity constraints. Using a Stackelberg game framework, we analyze how AM impacts traditional wholesale pricing across two scenarios. First, a manufacturer producing two distinct products and second, a case involving multiple products, each affected by AM's capacity limitations. For the first scenario,…

I shy away from the "Apple philosophy" with all my might, but there are many companies that apply it. I have a high-end 3D printer with a closed ecosystem, nothing that frightens an Apple user, but it terrifies me. Why? Because a simple (bad) printing bed costs more than 120 euros.
It's not a question of whether I can afford it, it's that I don't want to do it.
Fuck them, I'm going to get a Chinese one (and probably better) for half the price.

Transforming our printer into a bio-booster! Today, we're 3D printing a Guyver unit. Join "3D Printer Adventures" to see this sci-fi marvel come to life! #GuyverUnit

Went to order some 3d printing filament today and it was about 15% cheaper than normal - apparently it mostly comes from China so excess supplies due to Trump tariffs - a win for Australia 👍 #3dprinting

@… I think 3d printing is a genuinely very cool thing that has the potential to reduce the consumer market for cheap plastic crap (if used correctly)
my kids think I’m a wizard that can print toys

Experimental and simulative study on laser irradiation of 3D-printed micro-structures at intensities relevant for inertial confinement fusion
Inertial confinement fusion requires a constant search for the most effective materials for improving the efficiency of the compression of the capsule and of the laser-to-target energy transfer. Foams could provide a solution to these problems, but they require further experimental and theoretical investigation. The new 3D-printing technologies, such as the two-photon polymerization, are opening a new era in the production of foams, allowing for the fine control of the material morphology. Deta…

High Light-Efficiency Holographic Tomographic Volumetric Additive Manufacturing using a MEMS-based Phase-only Light Modulator
Light-based 3D printing, which relies on photocurable resins, has shown the capability to produce complex geometries with high resolution and fidelity. Tomographic Volumetric Additive Manufacturing (TVAM) employs a digital micromirror device (DMD) to project high-speed sequences of amplitude light patterns into a rotating resin volume, enabling rapid fabrication of 3D structures through photopolymerization. Typically, the light projection efficiency in such binary amplitude modulator-based syst…

Towards Signed Distance Function based Metamaterial Design: Neural Operator Transformer for Forward Prediction and Diffusion Model for Inverse Design
The inverse design of metamaterial architectures presents a significant challenge, particularly for nonlinear mechanical properties involving large deformations, buckling, contact, and plasticity. Traditional methods, such as gradient-based optimization, and recent generative deep-learning approaches often rely on binary pixel-based representations, which introduce jagged edges that hinder finite element (FE) simulations and 3D printing. To overcome these challenges, we propose an inverse desig…
