Snapmaker 2.0 raises millions in a few days on Kickstarter

Snapmaker launched its first kickstarter project in 2017. At the time, the project raised an unprecedented amount on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. In fact, in just a few days, $1 million was raised for the 3D printer. The printer combines additive manufacturing, CNC milling and laser engraving in a single machine for just $300. Snapmaker’s selling point definitely relies on the combination of three different tools that offer creative minds infinite possibilities at a very attractive price.

Now, 3 years later, Snapmaker 2.0 was launched and it is the most successful 3D printer project in Kickstarter’s history. In just seven minutes, it had raised $1 million. Snapmaker 2.0 now has over 4,000 supporters and has raised over $4.2 million, even though the campaign is still running for another 21 days.

What’s better about Snapmaker 2.0?

The company advertises with the sentence: “Smarter, bigger and more powerful”. The printer will be manufactured in three different sizes: the A150, A250 and A350, with a building volume of 145 x 160 x 160 mm to 320 x 350 x 330 mm. The new 3D printer is made of metal and is modular; the add-ons, such as double extruder, can be added as required. This means that it can be set up in just a few steps.
