3DQue Systems wants to make 3D print farming easier and more hands-free. The company has developed both hardware and software, such as AutoFarm3D, to replace manual workflows. This includes auto ejection, where prints can be popped right off the bed by the printer itself, and also an automated door opening and closing mod that enables prints to be ejected from the machine before another print is started.

The concept isn’t new, and we’ve seen YouTubers

The world of 3D printing has opened us up to an entirely new era of manufacturing. We can print objects at home using the best budget 3D printers and it's amazing how far we've come yet you'll still be hard pressed to find examples of 3D printing in space. This is mainly due to the volatility of 3D printed materials and a need for extreme reliability in aerospace. But, Horizon Microtechnologies , has recently passed testing standards, put in

The world of 3D printing has grown significantly over the years, and with that, so has the waste generated from the hobby. Thankfully, we have researchers like the team of scientists over at Zhejiang University who are working hard to reduce this waste and make 3D printing more sustainable as a whole. The team is directed by Professor Xie Tao and Professor Zheng Ning, who led the group in developing a 3D printing resin that can be recycled over and over again.

Japanese company Lib Work has outlined its 3D house building technology, which relies on soil as its primary constituent. The company’s Lib Earth House Construction (machine translation) process uses a massive 3D printing assembly, rather like others we have seen used for building coffee shops , bus stops, and so on. However, instead of relying on cement to create concrete, Lib Earth dwelling utilize a patent pending mix of earth, slaked lime, and natural fibers.

Ghost gun proliferation spurs crackdown at Thingiverse, the world's largest 3D printer model file repository — lawmakers also ask 3D printer vendors to create AI-based systems to detect and block gun

(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)

As much as we love 3D printing, there's no denying the dangerous potential that comes with something like a modern 3D printer. Creating a weapon is as easy as loading a print file in your print queue, which is why big companies like Thingiverse have taken action to make the file acquisition process as hard as possible on their part. According to ABC , Thingiverse is now implementing a new strategy to stop users from uploading things like gun-related files before
