Check out the Meltio M600, available at MatterHackers.

Most metal 3D printing means powder, which means a sealed chamber, inert gas, and handling protocols for a material that is reactive and behaves like flour under the wrong conditions. The M600 uses wire instead. Standard welding wire feeds into a melt pool created by nine blue diode lasers, 1000W total, depositing dense metal layer by layer with no powder anywhere in the process.

The wavelength is the interesting part. Copper and aluminum reflect most of the infrared light that conventional fiber lasers use, which is exactly why those metals are difficult on many systems. At 450nm they absorb far more of that energy, so the M600 runs stainless, mild and carbon steels, titanium alloys, nickel alloys, copper, and aluminum on the same machine. Build volume is 300 x 400 x 600mm, it ships pre-calibrated, and closed-loop process control with an integrated 3-axis touch probe holds deposition consistent across long builds. Optional hot wire and dual or quad-wire upgrades add throughput and multi-material capability.

The Formlabs Form 4 is available at MatterHackers.

Most full builds finish in under two hours, at vertical speeds up to 100mm per hour. That comes from the LPU 4 light engine and Low Force Display technology, which pairs a high-resolution LCD mask with 60 LEDs behind a collimating lens and sharply reduces the peel force applied to every layer. Less force means fewer failed prints, less deformation on delicate features, and tank life past 75,000 layers regardless of which resin is in it.

Resolution holds at 50 microns in XY, with layer heights from 25 to 300 microns and adaptive layering in between, across a 200 x 125 x 210mm build volume. Six sensors track resin level, temperature, leveling, mixer debris, and print force while the job runs, and every unit ships calibrated and inspected. The resin library spans general-purpose greys and clears, tough and rigid formulations, High Temp, ESD, and Flame Retardant engineering materials, plus Castable Wax and Silicone 40A. Pair it with Form Wash and Form Cure and the whole post-processing step becomes a workflow instead of a bucket of IPA on your bench.

These magnets came off the eufyMake E1, and the texture is real. Every brushstroke, every coral branch, every mosaic tile sits up off the surface.

The E1 is a UV printer that can create texture. In addition to laying ink down flat, it can stack layers of white and gloss UV ink to build actual relief up to 5mm tall, then prints the color image on top at 1440 DPI. That is why the oranges read like thick oil paint and the reef looks carved rather than photographed. You feel these before you look closely at them.

It prints on metal, wood, acrylic, ceramic, glass, stone, canvas, leather, fabric, film, and 300 or more other surfaces, across a 13 by 16.5 inch bed. Dual-laser positioning and an 8MP camera handle placement, JetClean keeps the nozzles clear on its own, and the ink is GREENGUARD Gold certified. The software can generate a texture map from a flat image, so a photo becomes something tactile without modeling a thing. Add the rotary attachment and the same textures wrap tumblers and mugs.

Meet the Bambu Lab R1. It's Bambu Lab's first standalone laser, and it's a 55W CO2.

If you've owned a CO2 laser, you know the worst part isn't cutting. It's aligning the mirrors. The R1 aligns itself. Automatic laser alignment handles calibration, so the beam stays on target without an afternoon of tape tests.

In its standard setup it's fully enclosed and rated Class 1, so no safety glasses are needed. You get a 600 x 300mm bed, speeds up to 1,000mm/s with 20,000mm/s² acceleration, a ventilation hose and fan, and a 30L/min air assist pump. A dual-camera, dual-laser, dual-encoder system handles positioning, with fully automatic laser ranging for focus, even on curved surfaces. It cuts acrylic up to 20mm, including clear acrylic, which diode lasers can't cut. Wood goes up to 18mm depending on focus setting, plus leather, fabric, paper, EVA foam and shell, and it engraves glass, ceramic and coated metal. Everything runs through Bambu Suite on Windows and macOS.

This Catan board was cut on a WAZER.

Every hex, every number token, every road and settlement, cut from stone and metal on a desktop waterjet. Waterjet is a cold cutting process: a fine stream of water and abrasive erodes the material instead of burning through it. No heat-affected zone, no melted or slumped edges, no warping, no discoloration along the cut. Just crisp lines and parts that fit together exactly the way the file said they would, straight off the machine.

And it is not picky about what you feed it. WAZER cuts aluminum, brass, copper, mild steel, stainless, spring steel, tool steel, and titanium. Acrylic, HDPE, and polycarbonate. Marble, granite, agate, gabbro, graphite, and porcelain and ceramic tile. Borosilicate, fused, and stained glass. Carbon fiber. Silicone and neoprene. Even memory foam and polyurethane. One machine, one process, whether the sheet in the bed is titanium or foam.

The full Bambu Lab filament lineup is available at MatterHackers.

The range runs from PLA Basic and Matte through PETG, ABS, ABS-GF, ASA, TPU, and PC, up to engineering-grade PAHT-CF, PPA-CF, and PPS-CF for parts that have to survive heat and load. Silk and gradient options are there when the finish is the point, and most materials come two ways: a standard spool, or a refill that skips the plastic spool entirely and reloads onto one you already own.

Ordering here is simple. Free US shipping over $35, which one spool clears. 3% back in rewards on qualifying orders. And one cart for your filament, your hardened nozzles, and your next printer instead of three separate checkouts. Purchase orders and GSA are available for schools, agencies, and businesses.

Introducing Panchroma Celestial from Polymaker, a soft pastel PLA with real glitter suspended in it.

Celestial pairs muted, celestial-inspired shades with embedded glitter powder, so the surface shifts and catches light from different angles instead of reading flat. Seven shades in the family: Light Pink, Yellow, Light Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, and White. The bundles are built as ready-made palettes rather than random assortments, with the Warm, Cool, Pastry, and Sky and Sea trios, the Sunset and Pale Moon 4-packs, or all seven together. It runs like standard PLA at 190 to 230°C with a 25 to 60°C bed, low warping and easy adhesion, so nothing about your usual profile needs to change. One tip worth knowing: glitter-filled filaments are abrasive, so run a hardened steel nozzle at 0.4mm or larger to protect your hot end.

Introducing the Snapmaker U1, a 4-toolhead 3D printer that changes how multi-color printing actually works.

Most multi-color systems run every filament through a single nozzle, which means purging and discarding material at every color change. A four-color print can throw away more filament than it puts into the model. The U1 gives each color its own toolhead, so it picks up the one it needs, prints, and sets it back down. Far less purge waste, less post-processing, and no stopping to swap. Underneath that it is a genuinely fast machine: 500mm/s toolhead speed, 20,000mm/s² acceleration, and 32mm³/s max flow through a 300°C stainless steel hotend in a 270mm cubed build volume. Mesh bed leveling, automatic calibration, filament runout and air-print detection, a 2MP chamber camera, and Klipper firmware, all at $849.

Three things this printer does that other UV printers don't.

One. It prints on shirts. Every other UV printer in this class does hard goods only, so the second you want apparel you're buying a whole second machine. This one has a fabric printhead built in next to the UV one.

Two. It fights its own clogs. White ink drying in the head is the thing that kills these printers. Leave one sitting a week and you're doing surgery instead of filling orders. This one stirs and circulates the white on its own and keeps the head from drying out.

Three. It does finishes, not just color. Matte, gloss, and foil effects come off the same head, and it stacks ink up to seven millimeters so you get raised texture you can actually run your finger over. Same machine, no second pass, no extra equipment.

One catch before you buy. Three editions, and you cannot upgrade later. If shirts are anywhere in your plan, start with the fabric edition.
