SHENZHEN, China, March 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- XtraMaker, a global DIY smart tool brand backed by industrial-grade innovation, officially announced the launch of its next-generation 5-in-1 desktop DTF printer. Designed specifically for modern creators, Etsy sellers, and small businesses, the new XtraMaker M1 Series aims to lower the barriers of professional apparel production with smarter automation, predictable delivery, and dramatically reduced operational costs.
About XtraMaker
Powered by EAI Technology, XtraMaker shares its DNA with its sub-brand YDLIDAR, a global leader in high-precision LiDAR solutions. We've brought together the same elite engineering team and R&D foundation that drove YDLIDAR's success to bring professional sensing technology to the DIY market.
Backed by 10+ years of hardware R&D and manufacturing expertise, our team comes from leading tech companies, including Huawei. With experience working alongside Panasonic, Samsung, Siemens, and KUKA, we apply world-class engineering standards to the desktop DTF market.
At XtraMaker, the mission is clear: transform professional-grade engineering into intelligent, easy-to-use tools that empower modern makers and small businesses to scale with confidence.
XtraMaker M1 Series: Built for Creators, Designed for Real Business Growth
Since launching the world's first 5-in-1 desktop DTF printer, XtraMaker has focused on solving real workshop challenges faced by small brands and independent creators. The new M1 Series continues this philosophy with two models tailored for different business stages:
- XtraMaker M1 – Optimized for high-speed, small-format customization. Ideal for Etsy sellers, side hustles, and startups seeking fast ROI and space efficiency.
- XtraMaker M1 Pro – Designed for scaling streetwear brands that require A3 large-format output, bold visuals, and high-margin production for hoodies, jackets, and full-back designs.
Both models share the same intelligent core system, differing mainly in print size, overall dimensions, and production capacity.
Professional Output Without Professional Complexity
Despite its compact size, XtraMaker delivers industrial-level print quality:
- 1440 × 1440 DPI Resolution – Razor-sharp details and rich textures.
- G7-Certified Color Accuracy – Automatic RGB to CMYK conversion ensures true-to-life colors.
- 0.5 mm Ultra-Thin Prints – Soft feel, strong adhesion, long-lasting without cracking.
- All-Fabric Compatibility – Works seamlessly on cotton, denim, nylon, silk, and performance fabrics.
From custom T-shirts and hoodies to tote bags and uniforms, XtraMaker turns any workspace into a mini smart printing factory.
Three Key Advantages for Small Businesses
1. More Stable and Predictable Delivery
For small businesses, downtime means lost revenue. XtraMaker is engineered to ensure consistent output and reliable performance:
- 5-in-1 Fully Automated Workflow – Printing, powdering, shaking, curing, and fuming are completed in one machine. One click is all it takes to start production.
- LoopMaster™ White Ink Circulation System – Automatic 15-minute circulation and continuous cartridge stirring prevent sedimentation and clogging.
- UPS Power Protection – In case of power failure, the built-in battery system automatically flushes white ink and injects protective fluid, safeguarding printheads and ensuring uninterrupted workflow.
- 20+ Smart Sensors with Real-Time Monitoring – Including a patented photoelectric ranging module that detects anomalies in consumables, mechanics, and alignment before problems occur.
Result: creators can rely on stable, repeatable production without technical surprises.
2. Visualized, Low-Cost Trial and Error
Testing designs traditionally means wasted materials and uncertain costs. XtraMaker changes this with data-driven creativity:
- XtraMaker Studio Software – AI-assisted design, automatic layout, and intelligent cost estimation show exactly how much each print will cost before production.
- 2D + 3D Real-Time Previews – True WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get), reducing failed prints and material waste.
- Smart Powder Reuse System – Powder recycling automatically captures and reuses excess powder, keeping processes clean, precise, and eco-friendly.
Result: creators can experiment freely with minimal financial risk, making product testing transparent and affordable.
3. Lower Learning and Maintenance Costs
XtraMaker is built for users without industrial printing backgrounds:
- Desktop Form Factor – 5-in-1 printing fits on a standard desk, perfect for home studios and small shops.
- Built-in Air Purification System – Multi-layer filtration removes powder dust and curing fumes, no external equipment required.
- Spill-Free Refilling System – Deep-reach nozzle and centralized waste ink reservoir ensure clean, mess-free operation.
- Smart Safety Design – Intelligent oven auto shuts down at 200°C, protecting components and extending machine lifespan.
Result: users spend less time learning, less money maintaining, and more time selling.

XtraMaker will officially launch the M1 Series on Kickstarter soon. To celebrate the release, early supporters can join the pre-launch campaign with a $50 deposit and receive:
- $200 discount on the final Kickstarter price

The industry gathers in Barcelona for a week of keynotes, summits, and conferences to confront the world's next phase of digital growth
BARCELONA, Spain, March 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MWC26 Barcelona opened its doors today, bringing together exhibitors, thought leaders, startups, and policymakers from across business and government under one roof for the world's largest and most influential connectivity event.
MWC26 takes place at a defining moment for the global connectivity industry, as advanced 5G, AI, and rising digital threats reshape economies, industries and societies at pace. In his opening keynote, GSMA Director General Vivek Badrinath set out three urgent priorities for the years ahead: investment in standalone networks, expanding access to open and inclusive AI, and coordinated action across industries and governments to build a safer digital future for all.
Vivek Badrinath, Director General of the GSMA, said: "Last year, mobile connected 5.8 billion people and contributed $7.6 trillion to the global economy. However, if we want to unlock the full promise of 5G, harness AI responsibly, and protect people from escalating digital threats, we must act with urgency. As the industry that connects the world, we have a real responsibility to champion open collaboration across borders to secure networks, close digital gaps, and strengthen trust in the digital economy."
The GSMA Mobile Economy 2026 Report
Launched today at MWC26, The Mobile Economy 2026 report shows how the industry is shifting from a connectivity-centric model to one powered by advanced digital platforms, 5G standalone, AI and open APIs.
- Mobile technologies and services generated $7.6 trillion of economic value in 2025, equivalent to 6.4% of global GDP, and are projected to reach $11.3 trillion, or 8.4% of GDP, by 2030.
- Despite 96% of the global population living within mobile broadband coverage, over three billion people remain unconnected, with the usage gap almost 10x larger than the coverage gap.
- The mobile ecosystem supported 50 million jobs worldwide in 2025 and contributed more than $800 billion in public revenues through taxation.
- By 2030, 57% of all mobile connections will run on 5G, while legacy 2G and 3G will account for just 1% and 5% of connections respectively.
- Operator revenues are projected to grow from $1.19 trillion in 2025 to $1.36 trillion by 2030, supported by $1.2 trillion in capital expenditure over the period.
The report also projects that the global cost of cybercrime, including fraud, will rise from $9.22 trillion in 2024 to $15.63 trillion by 2029. As networks become more software-defined and AI-enabled, more than 90% of operators already rate the threat environment as high or very high. The scale of the risk demands a unified, urgent response.
MWC26 keynotes will be live streamed on the MWC26 website and app, as well as by Mobile World Live. All this content, plus select conference sessions, will also be available on demand via the MWC website. MWC26 continues through to 5 March 2026.
