IoT, AI & 3D Printing Collide — The Biggest Shifts of 2025

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.💬 Which story blew your mind the most — the 5-axis printer, Arduino on Zephyr, or AI-powered Home Assistant?
