Back on June 8th, to encourage people to design for the New Normal in fun and inventive ways, Snapmaker teamed up with Wikifactory to run a lifestyle-improving competition called #safetoplay. We not only adapted to the New Normal, but also helped shape it.
Snapmaker recently hopped on a plane to Shanghai and attended 2020 TCT (short for time-compression technologies) Asia exhibition, one of the largest events for additive manufacturing and 3D printing technologies. We brought our most stunning machine Snapmaker 2.0 to the show and it was truly an eye catcher.
One third of the year has passed, but COVID-19 hasn’t slowed down. Here is a quick summary of what we have been doing recently, as our effort to help the 3D printing community and people who are working on the front-lines fighting COVID-19.
2019 was a super busy but meaningful year for the whole Snapmaker team. We opened two new stores in Canada and China, released two upgrades for the Snapmaker Original, launched the Snapmaker 2.0 Kickstarter campaign and broke a few Kickstarter records. It is no exaggeration to say that 2019 was a milestone for our company.
In late December, we started shipping the first batch of Snapmaker 2.0 modular 3-in-1 3D printers to our early bird backers. Up to now, all the early bird rewards have been handed over to the logistics company and more than 100 backers have received their Snapmaker 2.0!
With the innovation of modularity, the Snapmaker 2.0 is honored the CES 2020 Innovation Awards. Among about six thousand products, only three 3D printers are honored this award and Snapmaker 2.0 is one of them.
On September 24th, 2019, TCT Show kicked off at the National Exhibition Center, in Birmingham, UK for a three-day exhibition. Snapmaker attended the exhibition with its two generations of 3-in-1 3D printers. The Snapmaker 3-in-1 3D printers are modular fabrication tools that combines 3D printing, laser engraving and CNC engraving. With its unique design, the Snapmaker 3-in-1 3D printers stood out and attracted a lot of attention at the show.
The Snapmaker team explains the community building that went into their record-breaking Kickstarter campaign for a three-in-one 3D printer, CNC, and laser cutter.
