Parkside Multi Charger: Controller Architecture for the Basic and Pro Versions Development of the Parkside Multi Charger has entered a new stage. During the latest planning phase, several controller and power-switching architectures were compared to find a solution that keeps the Basic version easy to build while leaving enough room for the more advanced Pro model.
Read more Parkside Multi Charger – New Development Milestone Development of the Parkside Multi Charger continues to make steady progress. Recent work has focused not only on hardware and software development but also on establishing the project's public identity and communication. The project currently consists of two separate development branches: Parkside Multi Charger (Normal) and Parkside Multi Charger Pro.

Anycubic Kobra 3 Toolhead Project – Another Milestone: Successful Firmware Backup and Preparing for a CAN-Based Toolboard Today marked another major milestone in the Anycubic Kobra 3 Toolhead project. Our objective is not to modify or preserve the original firmware. Instead, we are developing a completely custom firmware that will transform the factory controller board into a Klipper-compatible CAN Tool MCU with only minimal hardware modifications.

BlueSky Polymers, Insight Polymers and Advanced Laser Materials have developed xPEI, a reactive polyetherimide material intended to make high-temperature PEI more practical for SLS, with an FDM filament also planned.
UpNano's new 3D Adaptive Resolution technology dynamically adjusts voxel shape and size along all three spatial axes during two-photon polymerization printing, targeting high-quality micro-optics and photonics parts.
Unlayered 3D is developing a five-axis desktop 3D printer and an OrcaSlicer-based non-planar slicer to reduce support requirements for complex geometries.
Artec 3D has introduced Artec Twins, a software platform that combines point clouds, polygon meshes and Gaussian splatting for large-scale digitization and digital-twin workflows.
ModelSplitter is in public beta, splitting STL and 3MF models into printable parts with connectors and an assembly guide.
Shenzhen Tuozhu Technology, Bambu Lab's parent company, has described a heated-bed design in a U.S. patent application intended to improve heat distribution across the build plate.
Munich-based Sneakprint has launched ShoeFactory, a service that sells custom-fit STL files rather than finished shoes. Customers scan their feet with a phone browser and print the resulting design themselves.
Mosaic’s new Orion system continuously manufactures custom foot orthotics, running different patient jobs one after another without conventional manual batching.
The Lightmake L4 combines four independent toolheads with a linear-motor motion system to reduce multi-material waste and cycle time.
