Snapmaker U1 Color
Full-color FDM printing with 16 materials in one machine
The Snapmaker U1 Color is a multi-material, full-color 3D printer that supports up to 16 filament inputs simultaneously. It raised over $20.6 million on Kickstarter — one of the most successful 3D printing campaigns ever — and is now in production.
eufyMake E1 UV Printer
Print directly onto any surface with UV ink — no filament required
The eufyMake E1 is not a traditional FDM printer — it uses UV-curable ink to print directly onto flat surfaces like phone cases, wood, metal, and fabric. It raised a staggering $46.7 million on Kickstarter, making it one of the top crowdfunding campaigns of all time. Now shipping.
FibreSeeker 3
Continuous carbon fiber printing for desktop makers
The FibreSeeker 3 is a desktop continuous fiber 3D printer — capable of embedding actual continuous strands of carbon fiber, fiberglass, or Kevlar into prints for aerospace-grade strength. Previously only available in industrial machines costing $100K+, the FibreSeeker 3 brings this capability to serious hobbyists and small businesses.
Bambu Lab H2D Laser Combo
3D printing + 40W laser cutting in one machine
The Bambu H2D launched in March 2025 as Bambu's most ambitious product — a combined 3D printer, laser engraver, laser cutter, and digital cutter in a single enclosure. The 40W laser module upgrade is available as an add-on. Not a crowdfunding campaign, but the most-watched new product launch in the 3D printing world in 2025.
OrcaSlicer Pro
The community-favorite slicer gets a professional tier with AI features
OrcaSlicer — the open-source fork of Bambu Studio that has become the go-to slicer for many advanced users — is exploring a Pro tier with AI-assisted support generation, cloud profile sync, and multi-printer farm management. Currently in community discussion phase.
Polymaker PolyLite Matte PLA — New Colors 2026
12 new matte colors launching via pre-order campaign
Polymaker is launching 12 new matte PLA colors via a pre-order campaign, including several highly-requested earth tones and pastels. Matte PLA has become one of the most popular filament categories for cosplay, miniatures, and display models due to its excellent surface finish and reduced layer line visibility.
Bambu Lab AMS 2S
Next-generation multi-material system with improved jam detection
The AMS 2S is Bambu Lab's upgraded Automatic Material System, featuring improved jam detection, faster filament switching, and compatibility with the new P2S printer. It represents a significant reliability improvement over the original AMS.
Creality K2 Plus Combo
Large-format CoreXY with 4-color multi-material at $799
The Creality K2 Plus brings a 350×350×350mm build volume, CoreXY motion, and a 4-color CFS (Creality Filament System) to the market at $799. It is Creality's answer to the Bambu X1C and targets makers who need a larger build volume than Bambu's flagship offers.
