MINGDA: a complete 3D printing workflow at SIGN CHINA 2026

1 min read

MINGDA presented a signage workflow covering 2D graphics, 3D preparation, multi-color printing and post-processing.

Shenzhen MINGDA Technology used SIGN CHINA 2026 to present not just a printer but an end-to-end production workflow.

The workflow starts with 2D graphics and continues through 3D preparation, material selection, multi-color printing and post-processing. It reflects a broader trend in professional additive manufacturing: the workflow around the machine is becoming as important as the hardware itself.

Chinese manufacturers are expanding beyond hardware

MINGDA is targeting a market where productivity depends on preparation, materials, color handling and finishing as much as on the printer.

Commodore 64 Ultimate Returns: A Retro Legend, Not a 3D-Printed One

Commodore.net has officially relaunched its legendary home computer as the Commodore 64 Ultimate, rebuilding the classic machine on modern FPGA hardware. We cover it here as a curiosity: it has no direct 3D printing angle, since the case is produced with classic injection molding using the original 1986 tooling, not 3D printing.

Anycubic Kobra 3 toolhead – successful firmware backup and the first steps toward a CAN-based Klipper toolboard

Anycubic Kobra 3 Toolhead Project – Another Milestone: Successful Firmware Backup and Preparing for a CAN-Based Toolboard Today marked another major milestone in the Anycubic Kobra 3 Toolhead project. Our objective is not to modify or preserve the original firmware. Instead, we are developing a completely custom firmware that will transform the factory controller board into a Klipper-compatible CAN Tool MCU with only minimal hardware modifications.
