IoT, AI & 3D Printing Collide — The Biggest Shifts of 2025
Update: 2025-08-26
Description
In this episode we move far beyond the hobby corner of 3D printing. From LAIKA’s Oscar-winning “replacement animation” technique, to surgeons rehearsing operations on 3D-printed heads, to the wild world of five-axis printers and Arduino’s big bet on ZephyrOS — the frontier of making is shifting again. We’ll also peek into the latest Home Assistant release, where AI moves from novelty into full-blown automation.
This is not just a recap of updates — it’s a glimpse into the frontier of making and living smarter:
- 🎥 From Hollywood to Hospitals: How 3D printing moved from Oscar-winning stop-motion animation to life-saving surgical rehearsal.
- 🖨️ The Wild World of 5-Axis Printing: Open-source Fractal 5 Pro makes multidirectional desktop printing a reality.
- 🖱️ MIT’s $8 Hack: Turning an optical mouse into a feedback sensor for precision printing.
- 🔧 Arduino’s Big Bet on Zephyr OS: Why it matters for developers and how you can shape the future.
- 🏠 Home Assistant’s New AI Tasks: How AI is moving from novelty to full-blown automation in your living room.
