According to statistics based on resources, to date, the first three 3D printers with the highest crowdfunding amount on Kickstarter are: Ankerinnovation Ankermake M5, which has raised 64.82 million yuan in funds; And the Bambu Lab X1 from Tuozhu Technology increased 46.72 million yuan. In addition to them, even the fourth Elegoo Jupiter and the CHUS CR-6 CHUAG is both of China, and they are both in the same city: Shenzhen.
Before, we have always talked about 3D -quality 3D printingDirect in China and focus on ShenzhenThis can also be seen from crowdfunding data above. Today, we will review the 3D printer project which was successfully funded on Kickstarter in 2024, and the Vertigo MK1, which has just launched in 2025, is undoubtedly a good technical direction. Note: The following classification is sorted from top to low by the amount of crowdfunding.
Phrozen Arco 3D Printer – larger, faster, more colors
Phrozen ARCO is the first Proson FDM Multi-Coulers 3D printer, with a basic XY structure design, with a 300x300x300 mm printing space and a 600 mm / s printing speed. It supports consumption management in four colors, inspired by Voron 2.4, and has a stable quay construction platform. The printer performs the Klipper Open Source firmware, which can be personalized for debugging and maintenance, and is also equipped with the Slicer Pixup slicing software.
In 2024, he was known as the first year of multicolored 3D printers. Currently, the Phrozen Arco has not yet been shipped, and it may not have many advantages in a highly competitive market environment. However, this ARCO gave the company the opportunity to enter and offers users another option.
IR3 V2 – 3D printer for conveyor conveyor with infinite axis
IR3 V2 is a 3D conveyor belt printer which supports printing by lots, long printing (no length limit) and suspended printing to meet the printing needs of users for various models. The printer is equipped with a metal conveyor belt and a 4.3 -inch touch screen, which supports automatic leveling, and maximum print speed can reach 400 mm / s. The IR3 V2 uses Klipper firmware, supports remote control via mobile phones or computers and can follow printing progress in real time.
Based on IR3 V1 launched in 2022, Zhuhai Beier Technology launched the second generation of improved version of IR3 V2. By equipped with automatic leveling function and metal conveyor belt, two main common problems in 3D conveyor belt printers have been successfully resolved: one is a horizontal adjustment, and the other is a belt problem braided. Currently, similar machines are rare. We remember that in 2021 Chuangxiang Sanwei also financed a similar machine called 3Dprintmill.
Flop+Flovv – Office injection and 3D printer casting
Flovv is an office injection module that fits perfectly with existing equipment and is associated with a Flovv-E 3D printer, combining 3D printing and injection molding technology to simplify the molding process by injection injection . Users first use Flovv-E to print the precise mold.
This combination simplifies the entire injection and printing process. Especially for the request of pieces molded by a small lot, it can be made thanks to the combination of Flovv-E and Flovv, and users can easily finish it at home. This innovative approach considerably improves the efficiency of production and reduces manufacturing costs.
Proforge 300 – Three tools switching the 3D printer multi -material head
The Proorge 300 launched by Maketech3D is a high -speed high -performance 3D printer. It is delivered with 3 changers of print head tools which support the transparent switching between three different materials. The construction volume of 300 mm³ is suitable for a variety of project needs, and other features include a bed heated to 120 ° C, remote printing monitoring and consumable filters to provide a safe printing environment and own.
Houti F1 – 3D DLP printer from top to bottom with storage scratch
Houti F1 is a 3D healing printer of lumen casting launched by Acampy Network Technology. The dual -skyscraper system storage offers automatic and manual supply functions. The equipped DLP optical machine module supports 2K / 4K resolution and has a lifespan of more than 20,000 hours, with a maximum printing format of 160x90x150 mm.
Ningbo Acanthen network technology was founded in 2016 and initially focused on research and development of medical software. Since 2021, the company has started to transform and has launched a number of DLP 3D printers, of which Houti F1 is one of its representatives. The price of Houti F1 Hutti-T-Time is 22,000 yuan, which is indeed attractive, but the engulfed design is no longer new technology.
Makerpi M2 – 3D entry -level printer 2 in 1 and laser engraving
The MakerPi M2 is an entry-level 3D printer launched by Forestry Technology, which has laser engraving / cutting functions, and the ultra-preesting price of birds is only $ 69. Its compact design is portable and the body size is 190 * 150 * 240 mm, near the 11 -inch iPad Pro and weighs only 2.2 kg. The machine focuses on the practical and convenience, and is very suitable for beginners and daily creations.
As a multifunction 3D printer, Makerpi M2 is relatively rare among products of the same level. Previously, it is well known that the Snapmaker three series in one of Kuaizao Technology. Compared to other small machines, the Makerpi M2 is smaller than the Core Magic Kokoni EC2 which was previously funded by Xiaomi Youpin, but it is slightly larger than the Tinymaker. It is a machine that is positioned as “small and beautiful” and costs only a few hundred yuan.
3D silicone – 3D silicone printer, stretched and elastic prints
3D silicone is a silicone 3D printer using FDM technology designed for the printing of rubber materials such as silicone. It can accurately mix two silicone components and quickly cure heat sources. Compared to traditional methods of silicone mold production, it provides a more economical and easy -to -use solution.
Silicone printing is generally made of photocural 3D printing, while 3D silicone printing is extruded, which is not common on the market. At first glance, it looks more like a modified Mendel 3D printer, except that the nozzle is replaced by a syringe and that a UV light source is added next to the hardening of the model. Obviously, this machine is more suitable for the purposes of scientific research and personalization of small lots.
The above is 7 successful 3D printers funded in 2024Among them, Phrozen Arco has the highest amount of crowdfunding, exceeding tens of millions of yuan, while 3D silicone has the lowest crowdfunding, less than 100,000 yuan. However, we cannot judge the success of each machine according to the final amount of crowdfunding. Several times, crowdfunding itself is to use public recognition to help developers acquire their first gold pot and transform creativity into reality.
Finally, we must mention the first kickstarter to be launched in 2025 and is crowdfundingVertigo MK1This one is defined asAutomated continuous 3D printerThe greatest culmination is its pop-up function and unique integrated automatic collection without manual intervention. More specifically, the automatic pop-up function can rotate the 90 degree print bed and erase printing with a dynamic scraper. In addition, the anti-collision trigger prevents ejection and informs the user when printing is blocked.
This machine is a dream device for 3D printing farmers. However, it is not cheap and the mold size 250x220x220 mm is relatively small. Currently, the Vertigo MK1 starts at $ 2,250 and is expected to deliver in May 2025.
Despite this, the emergence of Vertigo MK1 has at least gave everyone a new inspiration – it turns out that the collection of automatic materials is always possible. Currently, in addition to the Vertigo MK1 which has been launched, there is also a professional quality 3D printer called Freakstone F500 on the Kickstarter platform, and a Kare3D quality metal 3D printer will be launched soon.
