Open MicroManipulator 是一个开源、低成本的电动 XYZ 微操作平台，采用并联运动学结构与磁性齿轮技术实现亚微米级（低至 50nm）步进分辨率，支持 G-Code 控制，并发布了修复多项机械问题的硬件 4.0 版本及配套 Python GUI 与 API。
A blind maker named Edis used Claude AI to build AccessSlice, a free, open-source Windows tool that makes 3D slicers and printers fully accessible via screen readers like JAWS, NVDA, and Narrator, enabling blind users to slice and control printers independently.
Gun-rights activist Cody Wilson demoed the WASP, which he claims is the first AI-generated 3D-printed firearm, powered by his custom firearms-focused model GatGPT trained on DEFCAD's gun file library. The rudimentary .22 caliber pistol misfired on its first test but fired two of three shots, raising new questions about AI-assisted untraceable ghost gun creation.
An injured southern ground hornbill at Artis Zoo in Amsterdam successfully received the world's first 3D-printed prostheses for both the upper and lower parts of its beak, crafted from titanium using CT scans. The collaboration between Artis, Utrecht University, UMC Utrecht, and Amnovis could open new possibilities in veterinary medicine.
A designer created a nose guard for their dog and shared the design freely, which has since spread so that around 500 dogs now wear one.
Formlabs 宣布推出面向消费者的平价 SLA 3D 打印机 Form Studio 1，售价 699 美元，配备洗固化单元和低气味认证树脂，旨在将专业级树脂打印带入普通用户桌面。
Formlabs 推出了面向爱好者的 SLA 树脂 3D 打印机 Form Studio 1，售价 699 美元，较 Form 4 大幅降价，通过放弃 Raspberry Pi 计算模块改用其他 Arm SoM 等多项价值工程实现成本压缩。
Mechanism 推出其首款 Switch 2 保护壳 Basecase（49 美元），采用模块化设计，支持可替换的 3D 打印背板与握把，并附带底座转接方案。The Verge 的上手体验对其贴合度与扩展性给予肯定。
作者认为 AI 辅助物理产品设计的基础组件已经齐备：AI CAD 近四个月取得巨大进步，3D 打印、电子设计与按需组装也在不断提升，很快将迎来“vibe-coded matter”——用自然语言直接生成实物的时代。
OpenSCAD is a free, open-source, programmer-oriented software for creating solid 3D CAD objects, available on Linux, Windows, and macOS, with tutorials, libraries, and community support on IRC and Mastodon.
This essay coins 'Vibe Manufacturing' — using AI design agents combined with digital manufacturers like SendCutSend and Xometry to turn prompted ideas into physical custom parts, arguing the next AI wave may show up on factory shop floors rather than only in software.
A paralyzed Chinese designer used NeuroXess's fully implanted, fully wireless brain-computer interface combined with AI-generated design and 3D printing to create a figurine and custom assistive device, and to control his hospital room via AI-powered smart glasses. The demonstration reframes BCIs as a foundational layer linking human intent to AI systems and physical manufacturing.
Researchers led by Venky Pinto and Lerrel Pinto developed eFlesh, a ~$5 3D-printed tactile sensor that uses magnets and a magnetometer to detect contact, force and slipping on robotic grippers, offering a cheap alternative to vision-only grasping.
A tweet from Linus Ekenstam announces that a 3D print is complete and a model is being assembled, indicating a recent tech development.
JBR-001 is an open-source 3D-printable desktop companion robot powered by Arduino UNO Q, featuring a camera, distance sensor, servos, and object recognition, with all files and assembly instructions freely available on Arduino Project Hub.
Matt Shumer used the Opus 5.5 AI model to automate clearing his 3D printer's print bed, achieving hands-free operation after 16 attempts.
A user utilized Opus 5.5 to automate clearing a 3D printer's print bed for non-stop experimentation without human intervention, as shown in a video.
The article details the creation of an audio-reactive LED display inspired by the phyllotaxis pattern in nature, using coding, 3D printing, and electronics to build a physical art piece.
