Amanda Crosby+Follow3D-Printed Drones: Next DIY Frontier?A beginner just built a 3D-printed VTOL drone that can fly 130 miles in 3 hours—no formal training, just pure maker grit and rapid prototyping. Is this the moment when consumer tech finally rivals traditional aerospace? With desktop 3D printers and off-the-shelf parts, how long before hobbyists disrupt the drone industry—or raise new security concerns? Would you trust a homebuilt drone in your airspace? #3DPrinting #DroneTech #MakerMovement #Tech10Share
Paul Hall+FollowCan 3D Printers Really Be Traced?Imagine every 3D printer leaving behind a unique signature on every object it creates—like a digital fingerprint. Researchers just proved it’s real: an AI can now match a print to the exact machine, not just the model, with jaw-dropping accuracy. Is this a game-changer for quality control, or does it open a new front in privacy concerns for makers? Would you want your prints traceable? Let’s debate! #3DPrinting #TechDebate #Innovation #Tech00Share
Bethany Rivera+FollowSoft Robots Walk Off the Printer—Game On?Imagine printing a robot that walks right out of the machine—no assembly, no wires, just pure innovation. Edinburgh’s new 3D printing system makes soft robots from flexible plastics, powered by air, and ready to move straight from the printer. Could this low-cost, open-source tech finally make soft robotics mainstream? Or are we overlooking security and reliability risks in our rush to automate? Let’s debate: is this the dawn of a new robotics era, or just a cool demo? #SoftRobotics #3DPrinting #TechDebate #Tech00Share
brian69+FollowRobots Walk Right Off the Printer?!Imagine printing a robot that walks off the machine—no assembly, no wires, just pure innovation. Edinburgh’s new Flex Printer lets anyone create soft, air-powered robots for under £400. Could this open-source breakthrough finally make soft robotics mainstream, or will the lack of electronics limit their real-world impact? Would you trust a robot built this way in critical environments? Let’s debate! #SoftRobotics #3DPrinting #TechDebate #Tech10Share
bradfordbonnie+FollowIs Hellhound the Future of Battlefield Drones?Hellhound, a turbojet-powered, 3D printed loitering munition, just made waves at SOF Week 2025. With speeds topping 375 mph and a modular design, it’s redefining what a battlefield drone can do. But does its rapid production and off-the-shelf parts make it a game-changer—or a new security risk? Would you trust a rucksack-sized drone to change the face of modern warfare? Let’s debate. #militarytech #drones #innovation #defensetech #3Dprinting #Tech20Share
Vanessa Brown+FollowWould You Sip at a 3D-Printed Starbucks?Starbucks just opened its first-ever 3D-printed drive-thru in Texas! Instead of the usual bricks and mortar, a robot arm stacked concrete like a giant Play-Doh machine. Why does this matter? It could mean faster, more efficient coffee stops popping up in the future, especially in places where building takes forever. For now, it’s a cool peek at how your next latte run might look a little more sci-fi. Would you try it? #Starbucks #3DPrinting #CoffeeBreak #Innovation #Texas #Business91Share
emily27+Follow3D Print Your Dream Truck?!Slate’s new electric pickup is turning heads—not just for its $20K price tag, but because you can literally 3D print your own parts for it. Want to turn it into a five-seater SUV? Just snap on some modular pieces. With over 100 attachment points and open-source designs, you can customize everything from the lights to the interior. This isn’t just a car; it’s a DIY playground for auto fans. Would you trust your own 3D-printed upgrades? #ElectricVehicles #3DPrinting #CarMods #SlateTruck #TechInnovation #Cars90Share
Beth Burton+Follow3D-Printed Braces Are Getting a Glow-UpDid you know orthopedic braces are getting a major tech upgrade? Thanks to a collab between CRP Technology, MHOX Design, and Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli, custom orthoses are now being 3D-printed using high-tech materials that mimic your body’s natural shape. They scan your limb, design a perfect fit, and print it out—no messy casts or endless fittings. The result? Lighter, comfier, and way more stylish support for injuries or rehab. The future of orthopedic care is here, and it’s seriously cool! #3DPrinting #Orthopedics #HealthTech #Innovation #MedicalDesign #Health60Share
Jason Arellano+FollowIs This the End of Weak 3D Prints?ADDMAN’s ADDCAAM plug-in for REALvision Pro is shaking up 3D printing. With its InterLace and InterLocking InFill features, it claims to make Fused Deposition Modeling parts up to 70% stronger—without slowing down print times. Could this be the breakthrough that finally solves the age-old problem of layer adhesion and part strength in desktop manufacturing? Or is it just another incremental upgrade?
