No layers, no supports: OpenCAL projects images into a spinning vial of resin and the whole part appears in minutes. A volumetric printer you can build from a Raspberry Pi 5 and a projector.
A project for a child-sized humanoid triggered more than 150 AI review passes. The resulting repository is most interesting because it carefully documents what all that digital verification still fails to prove.
Polybar publishes printable parts, PCB files and build documentation for rhythm-game controllers built around 3D printing, custom electronics and Raspberry Pi Pico support.
A 1.75-inch round display became an aircraft radar, weather station, GMT watch and space dashboard. The interesting part is how its maker designed around 8 MB of PSRAM.
Memolio runs the upload server directly on the tablet. Scan a QR code, send photos from a browser, and the images never need to pass through a photo cloud.
New desktop CNC machines hide some setup behind probes, tool changing, simplified CAM and enclosures. Milling is still much less forgiving than 3D printing.
Blackwing filmed its full pencil-making process. Behind a familiar object: two extrusion stages, a 1,000°C furnace, hot wax, grooved cedar and sometimes more than ten coats of paint.
CVPR 2026 researchers combine thermochromic dyes, flexible heaters and an adversarial pattern. The shirt stays black at rest, then reveals the attack when heated.
Tom Stanton reports 346.4 m/s from his latest gravity-powered trebuchet. The entertaining number is only the endpoint of a better story: simulations, cheap prototypes, measurement, breakage and redesign.
Decoy Font fits two readings into the same letters. Tattoo artist Olivier Poinsignon is testing what happens when that optical trick leaves the screen and runs into scale, curvature, grey ink and healing.
