Snapmaker 2023 Review


New Product Launches, Focusing on Hardware and Software

Snapmaker values user feedback and continuously innovates to meet expectations. In June, it launched the Snapmaker 2.0 Quick Swap Kit Series, significantly reducing module switching time and further improving work efficiency. In July, it released 20W and 40W laser modules, upgrading your 3D printer into a more powerful desktop laser cutter. In August, Snapmaker introduced its first standalone laser engraver and cutter — Snapmaker Ray, which supports a variety of materials to meet creative needs, making creation easier.

 

Snapmaker's New Products Launched This Year
 

In response to user needs, Snapmaker's software Luban has undergone multiple iterations to enhance the product experience. In version 4.8.0, the software added a mesh shading tool and multi-color model slicing, allowing two different colors to be applied to different areas. Additionally, an online case library was launched to share models suitable for multi-material printing. Version 4.10.0 updated the engraving parameters for images and graphics. By fine-tuning the parameters, it is now possible to engrave complex patterns and intricate designs with greater precision.

Fostering Global Partnerships for Mutual Success

Last year, many overseas partners visited Snapmaker, where local staff hosted them for factory tours, deepening their understanding of the overall manufacturing process. By building reliable products, long-term partnerships were established.

Snapmaker also continued to visit partners around the world, engaging in extensive discussions and outlooks for future collaborations, jointly sketching out a brighter blueprint for partnership.

During the visit, in addition to learning a lot about operations and product information, the practical and cost-effective products and the pleasant conversations further deepened the relationship between both parties.


Connecting with Users, Building a Community Together

Each community member represents the core spirit of Snapmaker creators. Community feedback is always crucial and has inspired the development of many products. 2023 emphasized strengthening cooperation with the community, earning user recognition through transparent communication. Before each new product launch, some users are selected as early adopters to participate and help improve the product experience. Additionally, users are invited to test beta versions of firmware and software to provide feedback for further optimization.
 

Snapmaker's user engagement activities

In May this year, to give back to the open-source community and make the J1 a better 3D printer, Snapmaker decided to share the source code for the Snapmaker J1 3D printer controller. In November, the Starmaker program was launched to recognize and reward exemplary community members with outstanding contributions. Furthermore, at Formnext 2023, Snapmaker interacted offline with a group of loyal users, engaging in in-depth discussions about product experience. Future work will continue to focus on community engagement, listening to feedback, bringing creation to everyone, and empowering users to create their best.
