Groundbreaking 3D-printing tech developed — dual-light system can print two different materials from the same resin

(Image credit: Shutterstock)

A team of scientists and developers from both the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has put together an impressive resin 3D printer that is able to create more than one material from the same resin. Even more exciting is that one of those materials is dissolvable, making it an ideal option for printing supports in place.

In the world of 3D printing, there are two types of printers leading the way: fused deposition modeling (FDM

Singer J Balvin got a surprise for his 40th birthday in the form of one of the coolest 3D printed projects we've ever seen—a 3D printed motorcycle . DAB Motors, along with Vita Veloce Team, formed the team behind its creation, which features 3D printed components throughout the body, helping to complete its final design.

In the post showing off the bike, the Vita Veloce team confirms that the design is heavily inspired by the 19

LDO Positron v3.2 3D Printer Kit Review: Build Your Own Portable, Foldable, Adorable, Upside Down 3D Printer

Tom's Hardware Verdict

The LDO Positron V3.2 is the little red Corvette of the 3D printing world: fun to play with and show off, but not a practical everyday driver. It is, however, the perfect second machine for makers who want the challenge of building their own showy portable 3D printer.

Pros

  • +

    Cool view of upside down print through glass bed

  • +

    Planetary gear extruder

A recent paper from CHI 2025 postulated a new method to make multi-material 3D prints recyclable. Finding places that will recycle 3D printed plastic is extremely difficult as it is, but when you combine two or more materials in one print, it becomes impossible. This is because many 3D printing materials are incompatible with each other, and mixing them together would

Treadmill modded into giant 3D printer with an endless print bed size — taking 3D print sizing to the extreme

(Image credit: Ivan Miranda)

Working within the limitations of their 3D printer's bed size is both a challenge and part of the norm for many makers. However, Ivan Miranda and John from Proper Printing have created an infinite print bed by turning a treadmill into a working, giant 3D printer. Their creation can print things on a massive scale, and we absolutely love it.

According to Miranda, he had plans to transform a treadmill into a 3D printer for a while. His friend John
