Breakthrough crowdfunding milestone underscores global demand for personal creative tools

SINGAPORE, July 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- eufyMake, the innovative personal creative tool brand from Anker Innovations, has officially set a new record on Kickstarter for its debut product E1 - the world's first personal 3D-Texture UV Printer. Launched on April 29, the campaign surpassed $10 million in just 14 hours and has now raised over $46 million, making it the highest-funded project in Kickstarter history (surpassing the previous record of $41.7 million).

"This record-breaking Kickstarter campaign for the eufyMake E1 is a powerful example of what happens when creators and community come together," said Everette Taylor, CEO of Kickstarter. "When our Kickstarter community gets excited about a project, they really show up. Their willingness to support new innovations before they ever hit the shelves is what makes our community so special. Even more special is how big moments like this create a ripple effect on our platform. The users who discover Kickstarter through campaigns like this one often go on to support crowdfunding campaigns from other creators, so the success of one project contributes to the success of a whole ecosystem of projects. We're incredibly honored that the eufyMake team chose Kickstarter to debut the E1 — and proud to be Anker's preferred crowdfunding partner."
