"Their original all-in-one machines, like the Snapmaker Original and the Snapmaker 2.0, fused CNC carving, laser engraving, and 3D printing into one impressively sleek modular box. The philosophy was clear: why clutter your workspace with three separate machines when you could have a single beautifully engineered gadget do it all? That approach paid off, and Snapmaker's gear became a staple for people who like to experiment, iterate, and make things happen in their garages or living rooms."
"This is their first dedicated 3D printer, ditching the multi-tool approach for laser focus on one thing: making multi-color 3D printing actually work for regular humans. The U1 is built around a revolutionary auto-swapping four-toolhead system that eliminates the biggest headaches in color printing. No more bulky AMS boxes eating up desk space, no more endless filament purging between color changes, and no more failed prints because your single extruder couldn't handle the complexity."
Snapmaker established itself with modular all-in-one machines that combined CNC carving, laser engraving, and 3D printing into a single compact unit favored by hobbyists and educators. The company prioritized consolidating multiple tools into one engineered device to simplify desktop fabrication workflows. The U1 is a dedicated 3D printer focused on accessible multi-color and multi-material printing through an auto-swapping four-toolhead carousel. Each toolhead locks into modular docking stations with sensors to ensure precise alignment and enable mid-print swaps, reducing filament purging and failed prints. The U1 targets replacing bulky AMS solutions. Designer You Li; discounted price $799; limited stock and over $17 million raised.
