In the latest smuggling attempt, as reported by The Guardian , it appears that 3D printers were used in an attempt to move 30 kg of methamphetamine from the US into Western Australia. The street value for 30 Kg is $45 million Australian, or $30 million USD.
Smugglers will always look for new ways to move products illegally, as we've seen with recent events like the 200 Alder Lake CPUs stashed in a fake pregnancy belly
Prusa Research, famous for its range of 3D printers, today announced that it is working with heavyweights in the PC and maker industries to provide 3D printable replacement parts, upgrades and models via its online portal. Familiar names such as Cooler Master, Raspberry Pi , Noctua and Framework Computer now offer their models via this free service.
Advertising an eye-watering 250mm/s print speed, the Sunlu T3 makes some bold claims but failed to back them up during testing.

TOKYO -- From Nissan Chemical to Showa Denko, Japanese semiconductor materials makers are expanding output of products used in 3D chip packaging in response to chipmakers' growing interest.
Nissan Chemical will begin mass production in 2024 of a temporary bonding adhesive used in 3D packages -- wafers vertically stacked to create faster chips. The adhesive keeps silicon wafers attached to glass substrates during polishing and stacking, while also allowing wafers to be removed without damage.
The Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro is at the top of our list of the best 3D printers for good reason. The FDM printer offers fantastic print quality and a bevy of premium features including auto bed leveling, direct drive, and an all-metal hotend that goes up to 300 degrees Celsius. All of that would mean nothing if the output wasn't superb, but in our tests, the prints we got were amazing, even when we used
TOKYO -- Japanese construction company Obayashi Corporation recently unveiled a structure featuring curved walls and other parts built using 3D printing, showing off the potential for the technology as rising costs and labor shortages put pressure on the industry.
The walls of the structure were made with mortar sprayed by a robot arm from Yaskawa Electric, a major Japanese robot and automation specialist, at the Obayashi facility. Filling the walls with fiber-reinforced concrete gives them enough earthquake resistance to comply with the Building Standard Law, without using steel frames or
