Features provided by the brands on Printables.com
Users can print detailed models of the USS St. Louis. World of Warships, Wargaming’s free-to-play naval warfare multiplayer game, will share a detailed model of the World War I cruiser St. Luis. All components of the ship can be printed with no assistance on anOriginal Prusa MINI+ sized printer。Most components can be easily assembled together without the need for glue. The model was designed by Prusa Research designer Vlado Turek to demonstrate how far FDM printing can be pushed. Although the ship is over 80 cm long, users need just two 1kg spools for the entire model. All of the guns, cranes, anchors, and screws are movable. There are over 70 moving parts in total.
更酷的大师, a computer hardware manufacturer, allows users to browse replacement parts and case mods. Cooler Master intends to improve case customization by releasing 3D printable replacement parts and accessories. The company says this “move comes as no surprise”, provided that 3D printed mods are regularly used in their annual Cooler Master Case Mod World Series. This year, Printables.com was the primary sponsor of the Best Art Direction category in the competition.
With its 3D printable Mainboard Case, Framework joins the community. After upgrading their Framework notebook, users can use the remaining mainboard and 3D printed case to build a high-performance single-board computer. The only step customers need to follow is to insert the memory and plug in a USB-C power adapter.
The Czech game developer studio Bohemia Interactive is anticipated to share 3 models from their games. These models included a tank from the military sandbox Arma III, the infamous Yellow King from the post-apocalyptic survival game DayZ, and the Gryphon from the playful Ylands.

“Right to Repair” and production of spare parts using 3D printing
As a result of the European Parliament’s正确维修legislation, companies that sell consumer electronic goods in the European Union (EU) have been required to ensure that they can be repaired for up to a decade since 2021. 3D Printing Industry asked EOS,备件3D,DiManEx,理光3D， 和link3dfor their perspectives on how 3D printed spare parts could assist consumer appliance manufacturers to comply with legislation while preventing massive physical stocks of replacement parts and subsequent costs.
Furthermore,Replique，一家由BASF‘s business incubatorChemovator，与德国家用电器制造商合作Miele通过其分散生产网络开发和运输3D打印配件。鉴于欧盟立法授予消费者“正确维修”他们购买的商品。
Previously,皇家荷兰人had been using 3D printing for design prototyping and tooling for some time before shifting its focus toadditively manufacturing spare parts。The company is 3D printing spare parts for hard-to-reach areas including its offshore platforms employing metal Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) technologies.
Elsewhere,Kimya，技术公司的雷电竞充值增材制造材料部门ARMOR, offered 3D printing services for the railway industry. An unidentified railway supplier turned to Kimya to 3D print a small quantity of a protective cover component developed in 1982 using the Kimya Factory manufacturing service. Because the mold for the cover no longer existed, thespare parts必须在生产前从头开始重新设计。该团队能够通过在公司的研发中心（Kimya Lab）内部开发的PEKK细丝来提供3D打印的保护套，并降低成本和较短的交货时间。
