The US President said he's planning the tariff "in an effort to get the producers to make them in the United States" on Monday, Reuters reports, following plans for a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico on Feb 1, and other threats directed at imports from the EU and China.
The US produces just 12% of the world's semiconductors, according to a 2020 report by the Semiconductor Industry Association report. Despite that, the US market is responsible for 50.2% of global sales revenue.
Belfast start-up Vikela is reimagining body armor with 3D printing to create customizable, lightweight, and versatile protection.
Custom metal 3D printing from China's acclaimed Mandrill Garage turns this Ducati Diavel into something more like a DeLorean. The folks over at the cycle blog Pipeburn heaped praise on the designers who have frequently turned to 3D printing to achieve incredible bodywork lines that can't be made with any other technology. Mandrill Garage stripped the Ducati to the bones, 3D scanned it, and then, using CAD software, reinvented it.
The microcontroller board boasts the same specs as the regular Uno R4, but is only available to Indian users, who will benefit from faster delivery times and cheaper pricing.
Machine maker Toolcraft just launched a system for removing support structures from additively manufactured metal components.
The successor to the F1, the $799 F1 Lite boasts the same form factor and all the same features – minus the infrared laser that enables metal engraving.
Daimler, part of the Mercedes-Benz Group, announced a plan with printer maker 3D Systems where repair partners can order 3D printed spare parts locally for various underhood and cabin interior applications. The program combines 3D Systems printers and materials with software by Oqton and IP management by Wibu-Systems. Taken as a whole, Daimler predicts repair parts can be in the hands of maintenance providers 75% faster. 3D Systems' stock price jumped 24% after the news.
Flash Cloud users must re-register for the service and rebind their 3D printers after a data loss occurred as the result of a "cyberattack".

SoftFever, the creator of OrcaSlicer, has confirmed in a thread on GitHub that, for the foreseeable future, the popular slicer will not be working with Bambu Lab's Bambu Connect software. Posted on a pull request to support the new system, the note expresses that Bambu Connect "would not provide meaningful value for OrcaSlicer users."

We reported on the company's new firmware indirectly restricting third-party control of its printers and asked how many of you use third-party slicers like OrcaSlicer. A whopping 1,366 of you responded.
I'll admit it wasn't the most scientific polling – if you care enough to read about the company restricting access, chances are it's because you use that access – but still, 70% responded in the affirmative on regular and intermittent use, with 26% negative. Here's how Bambu Lab responded to the pushback.
Positioned as a "universal software platform" for 3D printers, Snapmaker Orca is designed with Snapmaker machines in mind, offering users early access to printer-specific presets and more.
New research found that SLA and SLS outperform DLP and LCD when it comes to producing strong temporary dentures.
The OpenSpool Mini is touted as a “universal RFID reader”, ostensibly allowing users to scan any RFID-tagged filament on the 3D printer of their choice.
