Design Meets Demand: Anycubic's Kobra S1 Combo Tops Sales and Wins Red Dot Award

HONG KONG, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In an industry where design accolades rarely translate to commercial success, Anycubic's Kobra S1 Combo has achieved both: A Red Dot Design Award for its sleek engineering, paired with Amazon's #1 bestselling rank in multi-color 3D printers throughout Q1 2025.

Today's Red Dot validation echoes what early adopters embraced during January's presale surge. Selling over 40,000 units in its debut season, the S1 Combo dominates Amazon's multi-color category while breaking barriers as the first sub-$600 CoreXY printer to offer eight-color output and AI-powered error detection—proving premium innovation need not come at a premium price.

From Trade Show Spark to Mainstream Momentum

At Formnext 2024, the S1 Combo's quad-color vibrancy and industrial-grade speed turned heads among Frankfurt's tech titans. By February, its versatility resonated in real-world settings. "It's the Goldilocks machine," said a New York designer. "Precise enough for client prototypes, intuitive enough for my kid's school projects."

The Proof Is in the Performance:

• Presale Powerhouse: Outpaced Anycubic's own Kobra 3 Combo as Amazon's fastest-selling multi-color printer
• European Stronghold: Captured #1 market share in Germany and France within 8 weeks
• Digital Surge: Q1 2025 website traffic eclipsed 2023-2024 totals combined post-Formnext

Engineering Excellence, Simplified

• Building on 2024's Kobra 3 Combo and Makeronline success, the S1 Combo redefines accessibility: Color Engine Pro delivers vibrant multi-material prints with built-in drying
• Near plug-and-play assembly slashes setup time by 90%
• Fully enclosed frame ensures stability without complexity

Beyond the Build Plate

• Anycubic's ecosystem amplifies the hardware: Anycubic Slicer Next (Orca-based) integrates model libraries, smart presets, and remote control
• Makeronline's 140,000+ creator community shares everything from cosplay designs to STEM lesson plans

This synergy fuels Anycubic's #1 market position in the U.S. and Europe Amazon, with top marks from CNET, TechRadar, and All3DP. Since 2019, Anycubic's FDM printer lineup has achieved over 1,000,000 units sold.

Design Meets Demand: Anycubic's Kobra S1 Combo Tops Sales and Wins Red Dot Award

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The four-day 2026 Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2026) concluded in Las Vegas, with BiLight, a global pioneer in flexible perovskite photovoltaic (PV) technology, making a standout debut as a green tech dark horse.  Guided by its brand vision of "Energy Equity," the company is driving the global scenario-based adoption of flexible PV technology.

Themed "Defining the Physical Boundaries of AI," this year's CES highlighted the deep integration of green energy and AI as a key trend. BiLight showcased three core product lines at the Las Vegas Convention Center, shattering the inherent perception of traditional PV products as "bulky, rigid, and single-scenario." Among the highlights, the world-premier rollable flexible perovskite solar curtain garnered significant attention, integrating sunshade, heat insulation, and power generation functions to directly supply electricity to home and office devices, reshaping the "PV + Space" application ecosystem. Additionally, the handheld rollable solar product became a hot favorite for outdoor PV applications, thanks to its portability and efficient energy supplementation capabilities. The lithium-free perovskite electronic nameplate set a new benchmark for office innovation: optimized with low-light power generation technology, it can stably supply energy under ordinary indoor lighting. Paired with low-power e-paper display and Bluetooth refresh functions, it achieves "seamless charging and permanent use," addressing the resource waste of traditional paper nameplates and the environmental concerns of lithium-ion battery devices. This innovative solution attracted extensive consultations and negotiations with office equipment manufacturers and purchasers.

BiLight's tech strength sparked cross-industry collaborations. A top energy storage firm discussed joint R&D for "flexible PV + portable storage" to ease outdoor device battery anxiety. Automotive representative SHM explored rollable solar sunroofs and curtain PV for enhanced vehicle endurance. AI hardware firm BleeqUp and satellite companies also engaged, probing applications in smart terminals, space energy, and IoT tracking.

At a TMTPost-hosted roadshow, BiLight Co-Founder James Fang outlined a three-year roadmap: full-scenario coverage across consumer electronics, automotive storage, building-integrated PV, and satellite energy, building a "PV+" ecosystem. This vision and clear strategy strengthened global partners' confidence.

Looking ahead, BiLight will prioritize R&D, deepen global collaborations, and expand flexible PV's reach. Committed to reshaping the global energy landscape, it aims to fulfill its "Energy Equity" promise—making green energy accessible to all.
