For centuries, we’ve asked humans to become machines. Now, we’re asking machines to become human.
This is the paradox of artificial intelligence: after pushing people toward extreme specialization, today we’re designing algorithms that can do everything.
After locking individuals into increasingly rigid roles, we aspire to create machines that are flexible, curious, and versatile. In other words, intelligent.

The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and 3D printing has ushered in a new era of innovation and possibilities in the manufacturing and design industries. As AI continues to advance, it has found its way into various aspects of 3D printing, revolutionizing the way objects are created. From generative design to automated manufacturing and improved accuracy, the integration of AI is shaping the future of 3D printing.

Print the Legend, directed by Luis López and J. Clay Tweel, is a gripping documentary that chronicles the rise of 3D printing during the pivotal years just before the technology exploded onto the global market.

A new creation: but who is the creator? Artificial intelligence (AI) is not just a revolutionary technology; it is a reflection of our choices, values, and vision for the future. The idea of creating intelligent machines is not new; it is a dream that humanity has nurtured for millennia, waiting for scientific progress to turn it into reality. However, many of us, immersed in modern individualism and lacking historical awareness, overlook how the drive to innovate has always been a constant in human existence, from the earliest tools to today’s technologies.

In the rapidly evolving world of additive manufacturing, materials innovation often defines the frontier. One of the lesser-known yet years-ahead-of-its-time developments was the Soap01™, the world’s first 3D printer for soap, created by Wittystore. More than a decade later, this early experiment in material diversity is being recognized as a pioneering milestone. With new advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and smart materials, the world is catching up to what Wittystore envisioned back in 2014.
