Thank you all for being a part of this incredible journey. We can't wait for seven more years of making it real with you all.
On this momentous occasion, we have seven reflections to share, which you can find on our blog:

TL;DR - We are deeply honored to be collaborating with such an incredible industry to slowly work our way towards this collective vision of democratized manufacturing --- day by day, .STL by .STL.
Make it real.
polySpectra
We help innovative engineers 3D print end-use components that they can trust, using the world’s most rugged photopolymer resins.
Big news from polySpectra! We've teamed up with Tethon 3D to bring you something truly groundbreaking: ThOR 10. You guessed it: Tethon + Cyclic Olefin Resin = ThOR. ThoR is polySpectra's first composite material, designed to compete with glass-filled engineering polymers. Engineers have long been looking for materials that bridge the gap – something stiffer and more heat-resistant than typical photopolymers, but tougher and easier to process than traditional ceramics or metals. Enter ThOR 10:...
You are cordially invited to an exclusive "ask me anything" with polySpectra founder Raymond Weitekamp, this Thursday at 9am Pacific. All things additive manufacturing are fair game, including any final questions you might have about COR Zero before Thursday night's Kickstarter campaign close. Not sure if you can make it? Just reply to this email with your question, and make sure to register so that you receive the recording link. It is election day here in the US, please make sure to get out...
Unfortunately for engineers, the spec sheet isn’t going to tell you everything you need to know about how a material will perform in the real world. Standardized tests from organizations such as ASTM and ISO are designed to be easy to perform and relevant to a broad range of applications and materials. In this regard, they represent a “lowest common denominator” approach. There purpose is the be “standard”, not to be the best representation of reality. In this article, we pick a fight with...
