Living Seawalls: The 3D Printed Armor Saving Our Coastlines « Fabbaloo

2 days ago | fabbaloo.com | Charles R. Goulding

Charles R. Goulding and Preeti Sulibhavi explore how Kind Designs is pioneering 3D printed Living Seawalls that defend coastlines while reviving marine ecosystems. In the face of escalating climate threats, Miami-based startup Kind Designs is redefining coastal resilience with its innovative 3D printed Living Seawalls. These structures not only shield shorelines from erosion and flooding but also foster marine biodiversity, setting a new standard in sustainable infrastructure.
Blueprints & Breakthroughs: How Rice University is Redefining 3D Printing Research « Fabbaloo

3 days ago | fabbaloo.com | Charles R. Goulding

Charles R. Goulding and Preeti Sulibhavi discover how Rice University’s bold transparency in research funding sets a powerful new standard for efficiency, sustainability, and 3D printing innovation. As federal research grants come under increased scrutiny in Washington, the higher education sector is being asked difficult questions: How are billions in taxpayer dollars spent? Are institutions doing enough to maximize impact and minimize waste?
Who's The Biggest In 3D Printing, May 11, 2025 " Fabbaloo

5 days ago | fabbaloo.com | Kerry Stevenson

Once again we take a look at the valuations of the major 3D printing companies over the past week. Publicly traded companies are required to post their financial reports, as well as appear on stock markets. From there we can calculate the total value of their company by multiplying the current stock price by the number of outstanding shares. This number is the market capitalization, and represents the current valuation of the company.
Crafting the Future: Heineken's High-Tech Brewing Revolution « Fabbaloo

Charles R. Goulding and Preeti Sulibhavi explore how Heineken’s embrace of 3D printing and R&D strategies is reshaping the brewing industry for a high-tech future. Heineken N.V., the world’s second-largest brewer, continues to lead the global beer industry with its commitment to innovation and efficiency.
Lack of Standardized Spool Formats Frustrates Users of Multimaterial 3D Printing Systems « Fabbaloo

1 week ago | fabbaloo.com | Kerry Stevenson

Why isn’t there an official spool format standard? I’ve used desktop FFF 3D printers for over fifteen years now, and I’ve seen all kinds of filament spools. In the beginning, they were typically designed around the machine and came in quite a range of formats. Interoperability was a bit of a gamble. One reason for the different spool formats was a weak attempt by 3D printer manufacturers to encourage operators to purchase their spools instead of those from third parties.
Researchers Develop Bio-Sourced 3D Printer Resin With Promising Environmental Benefits « Fabbaloo

1 week ago | fabbaloo.com | Kerry Stevenson

Researchers have made a bit of a breakthrough with sustainable 3D printer resins. 3D printer resins are quite useful, but also problematic due to their typical toxicity and non-sustainable sourcing. The researchers intended to reduce the effect of the latter. They produced a more sustainable resin by preparing a 50-50 mix of bio-sourced materials and synthetic polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA).
AMT's PostPro SFX Targets Desktop SLS Market With Affordable Post-Processing Solution " Fabbaloo

1 week ago | fabbaloo.com | Kerry Stevenson

AMT’s latest product is a lot smaller. The UK-based company produces advanced post-processing equipment for parts produced with a variety of 3D printing processes, including SLS, SAF, MJF, FFF, and more. Their technology depowdering solutions, as well as advanced vapor smoothing technologies. These processes are typically used to refine printed parts to a finished state, usually for production end use.
FAME 3D Launches LulzBot Direct, Expanding Into On-Demand 3D Printing Services « Fabbaloo

1 week ago | fabbaloo.com | Kerry Stevenson

FAME 3D announced a new 3D print service: LulzBot Direct. The Fargo-based company manufactures robust desktop 3D printers, most notably the TAZ series. They are one of the very few US-based manufacturers of desktop 3D printers and should benefit from the new tariff regime. We don’t know how the tariffs are affecting LulzBot operations, but we do know that they have launched a 3D print service.
New 3D Printing Method Boosts Q-Factor and Enables Miniaturization of RF Devices « Fabbaloo

1 week ago | fabbaloo.com | Kerry Stevenson

Researchers have found a way to produce far smaller 3D-printed RF components. Currently, there are limitations in 3D printing vertical structures with high aspect ratios. This geometry is often used for building RF components. As a result, the RF components tend to be larger than they could in theory be made. The new approach is quite interesting and requires a couple of key steps. They first 3D print the tiny structures using two-photon 3D printing (2PP).
Unusual Metal 3D Printing Process by Grid Logic Enables Pure, Multi-Material Part Fabrication « Fabbaloo

1 week ago | fabbaloo.com | Kerry Stevenson

I had a look at Grid Logic’s highly unusual powder-based metal 3D printing system. The company has been around for around six years, so I was surprised I hadn’t run into them earlier. Nevertheless, they have one of the most unusual metal 3D printing processes I’ve seen. It can not only produce metal parts, but also parts made with more than one metal.
