JuggerBot's H6-106 Prints Thermosets and Thermoplastics in One Machine — a $4M AFRL Bet on Hybrid AM
Under the AFRL-funded Project ACME, Youngstown's JuggerBot 3D is scaling the H6-106 — a large-format system that runs pellet-fed thermoplastic extrusion and two-part thermoset dispensing inside one heated chamber to build aerospace tooling.

Prusament PA11 Natural: Prusa's Castor-Oil Nylon Splits the Difference Between PA6 and PA12
Prusa's new castor-oil-based PA11 nylon lands between PA6 and PA12 with lower moisture uptake, strong impact resistance and broad chemical resistance — but it needs an enclosed, chamber-heated printer to run.

Sacramento's First Permitted 3D-Printed Home Goes Up in 12 Days of Printing
RIC Robotics and Sacramento builder K4k Construction completed the city's first permitted 3D-printed building, a 1,200 sq ft ADU whose wall system was printed in 12 days — a marker of autonomous construction crossing from demo to occupied home.

A 3D Printed Lattice Cushion With a Medicare Code: Kalogon's Verro and the Reimbursement Barrier
Kalogon's new Verro line pairs a 3D printed variable-density elastomer lattice wheelchair cushion with something far rarer than clever geometry — Medicare code E2609, the thing that decides whether additive manufacturing reaches patients or just trade-show booths.

OrcaSlicer Quietly Grew a Python Plugin System — And Says Outright It Isn't a Sandbox
OrcaSlicer's nightlies now carry a capability-based Python plugin architecture with an embedded `orca` module, a CPython audit hook and a new per-plugin storage API in draft PR #14923 — and the official docs call the security layer "groundwork, not a hardened sandbox."

UL 94 V-0, Explained: A Practical Guide to Flame-Retardant 3D Printing Materials
A V-0 rating is always tied to a wall thickness — here's what UL 94, FAR 25.853 and ASTM E662 actually certify, which flame-retardant filaments, resins and powders you can buy, and why printing certified material does not give you a certified part.

Someone Reverse-Engineered Prusa's INDX Into Real CAD — and It Says a Lot About the Open Community License
A GitHub repo has reconstructed parametric CAD for Prusa's INDX toolchanger from Prusa's own printable mesh and published it as CC BY-SA 4.0 — a share-alike claim that runs straight into the Open Community License, which says any distributed derivative stays under OCL.

Titanium Powder Orders Jump Sixfold: What Tekna's CAD $3M Defense Deal Says About Metal AM Going Serial
One anonymous U.S. defense contract manufacturer just ordered more than CAD $3 million of Ti-6Al-4V powder from Tekna for 2026 — six times its 2025 total — and consumable volume like that is the clearest public signal yet that metal additive manufacturing has moved from prototyping into serial production.

HeyGears' G1X Hits Kickstarter: Desktop Full-Color 3D Printing Finally Has a Price Tag
HeyGears' G1 Series went live on Kickstarter July 23 with the flagship G1X Full-3D at $3,599 — an Epson i3200, 8-channel, 45 kg machine that also does texture relief and 2D UV on 400+ substrates — but campaign pricing has already drifted $300 above the deposit quote and the specs disagree with each other.
