French 3D printer manufacturer Pollen AM unveiled its new Pam Pro Pellet 3D Printer at TCT 3Sixty 2025.  At the UK’s largest 3D printing trade show, I spoke with Jimmy Littmann, Sales Manager at Pollen AM and former sales lead at Apple and Formlabs, about the company’s latest addition to the Additive Manufacturing market. Littmann […]

MIT researchers have developed a 3D printing method that uses a light-sensitive resin capable of forming both durable structures and dissolvable supports—depending on the type of light it’s exposed to. Ultraviolet (UV) light hardens the resin into strong, permanent shapes, while visible light produces weaker supports that can be dissolved in specific solvents. The new […]
