Hsinchu – September 23, 2026 -- Phrozen has launched the Sonic Mighty Revo 16K MAX, a 14-inch 16K large-format MSLA resin 3D printer priced at USD 1,600 and now available in the United States, targeting studios and print-service providers scaling into batch and production-grade resin work.

Dual heating system targets long-print failures in cold or high-viscosity conditions

The printer's dual-fan chamber heating brings the build chamber to 30°C, while an optional heated resin vat directly warms the resin to reduce thickening and improve layer consistency across long print runs.

2L resin vat cuts mid-print refill interruptions

The vat holds up to 2.5 standard 1 kg resin bottles, giving users enough capacity for overnight prints and full build-plate batches without pausing to refill — an approach Phrozen positions as simpler and less failure-prone than auto-feed pump systems, which can suffer clogs and leaks.

Durham, N.C. – September 23, 2026 -- Avalara, Inc. unveiled Avalara Aviator, an AI agent hub designed to cut manual tax and compliance work from days to minutes, at its CRUSH customer and partner conference.

Avalara Aviator connects specialized AI agents to close gaps between automated compliance tasks

For years, tax software automated discrete steps such as calculations, filings, and exemption certificate management, leaving finance teams to manually bridge the gaps, chasing approvals, interpreting reports, and building business logic. Avalara says it is the first company to unify specialized AI agents, compliance workflows, and its trusted tax technology into one connected agent hub. Customers interact via Avi, an orchestrator agent that delegates to lead agents overseeing research, certificates, and returns, validating and executing work while leaving judgment-based decisions to humans.
