Claim that BambuStudio forks PrusaSlicer in violation of AGPL due to a closed networking binary, framed within a broader discussion of China’s regulatory regime and data-security laws that could affect enforcement and data governance for open-source software in hardware.
A private message from Bambu Lab to a developer who exposed a method to bypass its software triggered open-source backlash and raises licensing/regulatory questions for the 3D printing ecosystem.
Louis Rossmann attacks Bambu Lab over its right-to-repair lawsuit and offers to pay legal fees for an OrcaSlicer developer, highlighting tensions in the activist-right-to-repair space.
CU Boulder researchers demonstrated sustained bioluminescence in algae by exposing Pyrocystis lunula to acidic or basic solutions and embedding them in a hydrogel with 3D-printed shapes, enabling light without electricity and showing potential for autonomous robots and water-quality sensing; acid conditions yielded longer, brighter glow with 75% brightness retention after four weeks.
CA legislation aimed at censoring 3D printing; regulatory risk and compliance implications are the focus.
Switzerland unveiled the tallest 3D-printed building to date, a ~30m four-story tower in Mulegns built with robotic concrete printing (48 columns) and a modular design for disassembly.
