Anker Innovation: the 3D printing dream is broken after all

In 2025, the IPO is about to happen! Metal 3D printing giant Yijia 3D finalized hundreds of millions of yuan in B++ financing round

Anker Innovation has a good hand, but it was ruined.


On March 24, 2025, Anker Innovation announced that it would officially rename its 3D Ankermake printing brand in Eufymake. From now on, EuFymake will be incorporated into the Smart Home Eufy brand system, while continuing to focus on the 3D printing track in the form of an independent sub-brand.


Originally, Ankermake and Eufy were submarks that Anker’s innovations were linked to each other, but now Ankermake has been “downgraded” and incorporated into Eufy, which inevitably reminds people Ankermake losing its independence and its original strategic position.
No, now it’s Eufymake. Now let’s move on to Ankermake for the last time – a 3D printing brand which was once awaited by Anker Innovation.

On April 6, 2022, Anker Innovation officially launched its first high-quality 3D printer, Ankermake M5, and launched crowdfunding on the Kickstarter platform. In the end, the project increased up to 8.88 million US dollars (around 64.5 million RMB), establishing a record for the highest amount of funding for the 3D printer in the world. According to the Resource Library, this achievement not only establishes a new industry record, but even exceeds the crowdfunding project of Bambu Lab X1 launched by Tuozhu in September of the same year.


To be precise, Anker Innovation is the first general public brand in the industry to offer the concept of “high -speed 3D printing”. From 2022, when the default printing speed of most 3D quality of office printers on the market was still around 50 mm / s, the Ankermake M5 was the first to increase the default printing speed to 250 mm / s, 4 times faster. At the same time, the M5 has an integrated camera recognition system, which really realizes the smart and fast printing.

After 5 months, Takuzhu launched the X1. In other words, whether in terms of rhythm of the versions of new products, brand awareness or the quantity of initial public offering crowdfunding, Anker Innovation has entered the first engine advantage. At that time, the whole industry seemed to be inaugurating a new era – we even confirmed with confidence that China’s 3D printing had officially entered the era 2.0, and this “outsider” stood at the center of the scene.
After a wave of popularity, he seems to have “disappeared”
Logically speaking, after completing crowdfunding, companies will generally quickly launch retail channels to further open the market. But surprisingly, Anker Innovation never really seems to plan to sell Ankermake M5 on the internal market – it has never been noted if these are traditional electronic commercial platforms such as JD.com or Tmall. For domestic users, if you want to buy this machine, you cannot almost place an order via Amazon or the independent website abroad of Amazon or Ankermake.


In August 2023, Anker Innovation launched an affordable new 3D printer – Ankermake M5C. Compared to the first generation M5, the M5C has slightly reduced its construction volume (220 × 220 × 250 mm) and canceled intelligent functions such as IA cameras. The overall positioning is more affordable, intended to reduce the entry threshold.

Three years have passed and the range of Anker Innovation products in the field of 3D printing is still stuck in the Ankermake M5 and M5C models. We originally expected a brand new product upgraded in 2025, but what we finally waited was a change in the brand.

Ankermake is replaced by Eufymake
The last announcement indicates that since March 24, 2025, Ankermake will be officially renamed Eufymake. This brand adjustment is designed to make it an integral part of the EUFY smart house ecosystem.


According to official information, the main objective of this name change is to integrate the technical accumulation of EUFY and user ideas in the field of intelligent consumption products, and to further extend the product range of creative manufacturing tools. In the future, EUFYMAKE will not only continue to deepen its FDM printing technology, but also plans to define more innovative manufacturing directions such as UV printing and to explore new possibilities for the integration of digital creation and intelligent life.
In response to after-sales problems concerning the majority of Ankermake users, the manager has also clearly indicated that the service support for existing equipment (including Ankermake M5 and M5C) and its accessories and consumables will continue to be provided without being affected by the brand change.
Finally, the name of Ankermake will no longer be mentioned, and the initial ambitions of Anker Innovation and expectations for 3D printing can end.
