Snapmaker Turns 9! A Global DIY Party, Big Giveaways, and Even Bigger Dreams

Snapmaker Turns 9! A Global DIY Party, Big Giveaways, and Even Bigger Dreams

Can you believe it’s been nine years since Snapmaker started shaking up the maker world with our all-in-one machines? What began as a bold idea—bringing 3D printing, laser engraving, and CNC carving together in one sleek setup—has grown into a global movement of makers, tinkerers, and creators who aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and build the world they want to see.

A Year of Big Moves

The past year has been anything but quiet for Snapmaker. We’ve been busy releasing new tools, building new partnerships, and creating even more ways for people to get hands-on. A few highlights:

  • 🚀 Snapmaker Orca — our powerful new 3D printing software, built to streamline your workflow.
  • 🧰 Artisan Premium Combo — a major upgrade for anyone serious about modular making.
  • 🔧 Cool new tools like the 1064nm Infrared Laser Module, Snapmaker × Polymaker SnapDryer, and the PEI Steel Sheet.
  • 🎥 A whole bunch of exciting video contests and short-form campaigns that brought the Snapmaker community closer than ever.
  • 🏎️ We even teamed up with Schumacher CLRT Racing. Yep, we’re bringing maker energy to the racetrack.

So What’s the 9th Anniversary All About?

This year, we’re going all in on DIY culture with the theme:

DIY: Do More, Invest Less, Your Move.

It’s all about getting creative, staying resourceful, and pushing back on throwaway culture. As Snapmaker CEO Daniel Chen puts it:

“In uncertain times, there’s nothing more powerful than taking control over your own life and doing things yourself… For nine years, Snapmaker has empowered you to Do It Yourself, and we’re just getting started.”

Couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
