DeChambeau's 3D-printed iron sparks Masters post-round questions

Bryson DeChambeau was puzzled by a post-round question about his USGA-approved 3D-printed 5 iron after posting a 4-over 76 in the Masters’ first round. He explained the club’s curved face is designed to straighten some mis-hits and detailed the lengthy approval process (print time plus finishing) required by the USGA. He used the club on the seventh hole and said it was “great,” but his round slipped with a bunker mishap and a triple bogey on the 11th, leaving him nine strokes behind leaders after day one.

Bryson DeChambeau Plans a Self-Printed 5-Iron for Masters Play

Bryson DeChambeau says he’ll play the Masters with a 5-iron he designed and 3D-printed himself, continuing his DIY, high-tech approach to clubs. The iron is part of a broader self-built set that includes other 3D-printed irons (Avoda-based) and wedges, with DeChambeau claiming the new irons are ready and an improvement over his current setup, though there’s no confirmed USGA approval and no named manufacturer yet.

Apple eyes 3D-printed aluminum for iPhone and Apple Watch casings

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports Apple is exploring 3D-printed aluminum to make iPhone enclosures and Apple Watch casings, a move that could reduce manufacturing costs and enable new color options; Apple has previously used 3D-printed titanium for some components and has applied similar production insights to the MacBook Neo, with an iMac color refresh expected later this year.

Infrared fingerprints tie some 3D-printed guns to their filament

A Curtin University study published in Forensic Chemistry shows that infrared spectroscopy of 3D-printing filaments can distinguish many filament types and link seized ghost guns to their source, challenging the notion that ghost guns are truly untraceable; however, some filaments remain indistinguishable, and researchers plan to add more analytical techniques to strengthen traceability.

On-demand electric motor: MIT's multimaterial 3D printer outputs a working motor in hours

MIT researchers have developed a multimaterial 3D‑printing platform that can fabricate fully functional electric machines in a single process. By upgrading a printer with four extruders, sensors, and a new control framework, they printed a linear motor using five materials in about three hours, with magnetization the only post-processing step and material costs around $0.50. The demonstration highlights the potential for on-site, distributed manufacturing of complex electromechanical devices, aiming to reduce downtime and supply-chain reliance and outlining plans to integrate magnetization and expand to fully 3D‑printed rotary motors.

3D-Printed Cemented Carbide Outshines Steel in Hardness

Hiroshima University researchers used additive manufacturing to produce tungsten carbide–cobalt cemented carbide via 3D printing, achieving hardness above 1,400 HV—far harder than common steels. The method softens alloy elements rather than fully melting them, delivering a tougher, more wear-resistant metal with less waste, with potential uses in repairing cracks and strengthening construction; the research will be published in the April 2026 issue of the International Journal of Refractory Metals and Hard Materials.

Bio-Printed, Self-Healing Building Material That Grows and Captures Carbon

Bio-Printed, Self-Healing Building Material That Grows and Captures Carbon

Scientists have created a 3D-printed hydrogel embedded with cyanobacteria that can grow, sequester CO2, and precipitate calcium carbonate to potentially reinforce structures. Lab data over 400 days show cumulative CO2 capture of 26 ± 7 mg per gram of hydrogel (with 2.2 ± 0.9 mg/g in the first 30 days); the material remains viable under light and nutrient conditions and can be printed for architectural scale. An installation at the Venice Biennale demonstrates the concept in practice, but the researchers caution that at current scales the climate impact is uncertain and long-term (decades) performance remains to be proven, with the material’s efficiency limited by light access and maintenance needs.

Five Milwaukee-Themed 3D Prints to Upgrade Your Workshop

A guide to five downloadable, 3D-printable Milwaukee accessories for the home workshop, including a Packout-compatible mini crate, extension-cord organizers, a pocket-sized multi-tool, a drill/battery storage station, and a Milwaukee AirPods case. The article notes you can print these at home from online templates, may need slight sizing tweaks for a snug fit, and that such prints offer a cost-saving, practical alternative with generally positive user feedback.

China unveils ultrafast holographic 3D printing at 0.6 seconds

Researchers at Tsinghua University have introduced Digital Incoherent Synthesis of Holographic light fields (DISH), a holographic-based volumetric 3D printing method that can fabricate millimeter-scale objects in 0.6 seconds with 12‑micrometer precision. By projecting holographic light from multiple angles in a resin, without moving parts or layered drying, the system achieves about 333 cubic millimeters per second and could enable rapid, high-resolution production for biomedicine, nanotechnology, micro-robotics, and flexible electronics.

New 3D-printing method lets soft robots bend and grasp on command

Harvard engineers embed motion directly into soft robots with a rotational multimaterial 3D‑printing process that creates hollow pneumatic channels inside flexible filaments. When inflated, these channels cause the structures to bend, twist, or grasp in preprogrammed ways, removing molds and assembly steps and enabling rapid design changes. Demonstrations include a flower-like actuator and a hand-shaped gripper, with potential applications in surgical robotics and delicate-object handling.
