Sculpteo, a service provider for additive manufacturing, has designed and produced tailored protective feet for the Plum' Case guitar case from Luxbag, a French maker of musical instrument cases that sells internationally. The Plum' Case has an aluminium shell and weighs about 4.2 kg. The reports provided do not give details on the materials, printing process or quantities used for the feet. The project shows how a case maker can use an external service for custom printed components rather than tooling for small batches.
Bambu Lab, the desktop 3D printer maker, plans to release the S1, its first 3D scanner, in November 2026. Few details are available so far. The company has shared an image of the device, but no specifications, pricing or sales channels have been reported. The move extends the company's hardware range beyond printers into scanning, a field that often supports reverse engineering and digitising parts for printing. Further information is expected closer to the launch date.
Bambu Lab has teased its H3C, a 3D printer with a tool changer, according to a report from Tom's Hardware. The report states that the machine is scheduled to launch on November 3, 2026. The teaser reported by Tom's Hardware gives no further technical details, such as build volume, nozzle count or pricing, so these remain unconfirmed. A tool changer lets an FDM printer switch between several extruders or materials during a print without manual intervention. Readers should check the manufacturer's official announcement for specifications once they are published.
