Our Story in Machines
What we have made,
ever since day one.
From the first all-metal 3-in-1 to a full modular ecosystem — a look back at the machines that defined a decade of making.
2020 · Going Modular
Snapmaker 2.0
Bigger, smarter, modular. Three sizes, swappable modules and a touchscreen that made making effortless.
2023 · Premium 3-in-1
Snapmaker Artisan
Our flagship dual-extrusion 3-in-1 — built for creators who want power and precision without compromise.
The Ecosystem
Modular Toolheads
Lasers, CNC, dual extruders, enclosures and more — one platform that grows with what you make.
2023 · Large-Format Laser
Snapmaker Ray
A 20W & 40W laser engraver and cutter with a 400×600 mm work area, air assist and industrial linear rails — making at a bigger scale.
2023 · High-Speed IDEX
Snapmaker J1 / J1s
Our first dedicated high-speed IDEX 3D printer — independent dual extrusion, factory-tuned and ready out of the box. The auto-leveling here lives on in U1.
2025 · OVER $20M RAISEDKickstarter's most-funded 3D printer.
Kickstarter's most-funded 3D printer.
Meet U1.
Launched in 2025, U1 became the most-funded 3D printer in Kickstarter history — over US $20 million from 20,000+ backers worldwide. 5× more speed, 5× less waste: ten years of making, distilled into one machine.
Technology, decoded
U1, taken apart
Quick Swap → SnapSwap
SnapSwap
U1's SnapSwap is built on the all-metal craftsmanship behind Quick Swap. Years of precision-manufacturing expertise let us deliver rock-solid, high-reliability toolchanging — at a genuinely affordable price.
XY offset calibration → Smart calibration
Auto Leveling
U1's multi-toolhead calibration grew out of J1's XY offset calibration. We rebuilt the algorithm on that foundation, making U1's leveling smarter and more precise than ever.
A continuous smart experience
Smart Display
We've always cared about how making feels. Ever since Snapmaker 2.0 we've championed the color touchscreen — delivering an intelligent hardware experience that stays a cut above.
