With Pre-Orders Opening June 29, the O1 Combines 4-in-1 Versatility, Pixel-Scan™ Vision, and High-ROI Bundles to Redefine Creative Production
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- xTool, a global leader in innovative digital fabrication technology, today launched the global pre-order phase for its highly anticipated xTool O1 Omni Printer. This exclusive pre-heat window introduces an entirely new hardware classification to the creative and commercial markets: the world's first true "Omni Printer". Guided by the slogan, "From Rigid to Fabric. Print It All," this future-ready system completely redefines desktop production.
The Category Pioneer — One System, Print Anything
For years, creators have been burdened by fragmented workflows, forced to buy separate, single-purpose machines for rigid substrates and textiles. The xTool O1 Omni Printer shatters these limitations by establishing a brand-new hardware category. By natively merging UV, DTG, DTF, and UV DTF printing technologies into a single desktop ecosystem, it seamlessly bridges the historical gap between rigid customization and fabric printing.
This "print anything" capability is brought to life by a flexible, innovative dual-printhead architecture. Creators can configure the system for dual-UV printing to unlock advanced multi-layered effects and accelerated production speeds, or choose the hybrid UV + Fabric setup to master completely different mediums simultaneously. From printing intricate designs on wood, acrylic, glass, and metal to directly customizing apparel or generating complex UV DTF transfer decals, the O1 empowers users to print on virtually any surface imaginable.
Industrial Performance Fueled by Intelligence
To transition heavy-duty industrial production into a streamlined desktop experience, xTool has outfitted the O1 with an uncompromised blend of hardware powerhouse capabilities, advanced software, and smart safety ecosystems:
- Pixel-Scan™ Vision System: Combining Line Laser Altimetry and CIS Scanning, this system ensures flawless accuracy. A Laser-Guided Auto-Focus detects an object's highest point to ensure perfect print height and eliminate printhead collisions. Unlike traditional distorted "fish-eye" cameras, the 1:1 Distortion-Free CIS Scanning offers close-range, high-def scans with zero dead zones, powering a jigless "Drop & Print" workflow. When paired with the Rotary Attachment, it performs Automated 3D Modeling for 90% of mainstream tumblers to enable an unmatched 1:1 design preview.
- Versatile Dual-Head Hardware & Ecosystem: As the primary engine of the machine's raw power, the upgradable dual-head architecture delivers a massive leap in productivity over same-class competitors, offering significantly accelerated printing speeds and unrivaled throughput. The Dual-Head UV Edition leverages this speed while supporting specialized flexible, soft/hard white inks, and vibrant Fluorescent (Neon) Inks for blacklight effects. The UV + Fabric Edition features an OEKO-TEX® certified system supporting both DTG and DTF workflows—surviving 50+ washes without fading. A rich accessory ecosystem, including a Rotary Attachment, DTG Platen, and Laminator Integration, maximizes hardware utility.
- xTool Studio Software Ecosystem: The AI-driven workflow features a Laser + UV Seamless Workflow, allowing users to laser-cut a workpiece and move it to the O1, where the software automatically recognizes and aligns the print with zero manual recalibration. Its AI Contour Recognition instantly identifies irregular shapes to "fill" designs perfectly while automatically avoiding holes (e.g., camera cutouts). It also supports a 2000+ Texture Library for 7mm 3D relief and a Lenticular 3D Generator for eye-catching, naked-eye 3D effects.
- Eco-Friendly Safety & Automated Maintenance: Designed for worry-free production, the O1 uses GREENGUARD-certified, non-reprotoxic inks and an advanced built-in air filtration system to eliminate odors in home studios. To eliminate maintenance anxiety, SmartCycle™ 2.0 automates routine care to prevent clogging, offering 14-day vacation-ready support that lets users step away with confidence and return to a machine that's ready when they are.
The Ultimate Hardware Investment for Businesses, Designers, and Makers
The O1 Omni Printer is built around a simple vision: one great idea should not be limited by a single material, product type, or machine. By democratizing industrial performance and bringing professional studio capabilities down to the price of a premium laptop, xTool has created the ultimate creative and business investment of 2026, uniquely tailored to solve the distinct pain points of three major creative communities:
- For Small Businesses: It opens the door to an exponential increase in sellable product lines and higher-margin revenue opportunities, all generated from a single digital design.
- For Designers: It seamlessly translates complex digital artwork into tangible, high-fidelity physical products across hard goods, apparel, custom stickers, premium packaging, and bespoke gifts.
- For Makers: It unlocks entirely new creative dimensions, adding full-color versatility, multi-dimensional textures, and complete material freedom to their existing fabrication toolset.
To perfectly match the specific production needs and scaling goals of these diverse user groups, xTool is launching with three value-driven configurations: the entry-level UV Edition ($1,699 pre-order / $2,499 MSRP), the effect-optimized Dual-Head UV Edition ($2,699 pre-order / $3,299 MSRP), and the ultimate cross-category hybrid UV + Fabric Edition ($2,799 pre-order / $3,499 MSRP).

xTool Launches O1 Omni Printer: The World's First All-in-One Desktop Printer for Virtually Any Material
Senior healthcare executives, policymakers and industry leaders emphasise the importance of digital leadership capabilities in translating AI and digital investments into sustainable healthcare outcomes
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As healthcare systems across Asia accelerate investments in artificial intelligence (AI), digital platforms, and data-driven care, increasing attention is being placed on the leadership capabilities required to guide transformation and maximise value from these investments.
The discussion comes at a pivotal moment for Malaysia as the nation advances its AI agenda as a key driver of economic growth. With AI projected to contribute between RM13 billion and RM20 billion annually to GDP by 2030, Malaysia is accelerating AI adoption across strategic sectors, including healthcare, while strengthening governance and accountability frameworks. These efforts aim to position the country as a regional leader in trusted and responsible AI that delivers tangible economic and societal benefits.
Despite growing investments in AI-enabled diagnostics, predictive analytics, digital health platforms, and automation technologies, many healthcare organisations continue to struggle with scaling successful pilot projects into enterprise-wide transformation.
Against this backdrop, IMU University and NUS-ISS of the National University of Singapore (NUS) jointly organised the executive forum, "The New Mandate: Digital Leadership as a Leadership Capability - Navigating AI, Financial Stewardship, and Workforce Transformation for Healthcare Leaders", bringing together senior healthcare executives, hospital leaders, policymakers and industry stakeholders to discuss how healthcare organisations can move beyond AI experimentation and translate digital investments into sustainable, enterprise-wide value.
A key theme that emerged from the forum was that digital literacy is no longer merely a technical competency but a core leadership capability. Healthcare leaders are increasingly required to make complex decisions involving AI adoption, digital investments, workforce redesign, data governance, and financial sustainability. Participants also noted that healthcare systems across the region are facing mounting pressures, including workforce shortages, rising operating costs, ageing populations, and growing demand for healthcare services. In Malaysia, these challenges are further compounded by demographic shifts, the rising burden of chronic disease, and increasing complexity in care delivery. Together with escalating healthcare expenditure, these trends underscore the need for more efficient, data-driven models of care and operations.
Many organisations also faced difficulties aligning technology investments with long-term organisational priorities and value creation. Against this backdrop, participants discussed how healthcare organisations can move beyond fragmented technology initiatives towards more integrated, scalable, and sustainable transformation. Key priorities identified included:
- Moving beyond fragmented pilots to enterprise-wide transformation
- Strengthening governance and accountability for AI adoption
- Building financially sustainable digital investment models
- Redesigning workforce capabilities for an AI-enabled future
- Developing data-fluent leaders capable of making evidence-based decisions
- Aligning clinical, operational, and strategic priorities across the organisation
Leadership, Not Technology, Defines Value Creation
Another key takeaway from the forum was that successful digital transformation depends as much on leadership as it does technology. While technology can be a powerful enabler, its impact is maximised only when supported by clear strategic direction, effective governance and organisational alignment.
As Professor Gerard George, Group Managing Director of IMU University, said in his welcome speech: "AI is not just a technology shift. It is a leadership challenge. Value will not be determined by investment levels, but by how well organisations align leadership, governance, workforce readiness, and execution. In healthcare, the real opportunity is to build systems that are digitally enabled, financially sustainable, and resilient at scale."
Mr Khoong Chan Meng, Chief Executive Officer of NUS-ISS, said: "Technology alone does not transform healthcare. What matters is the ability of leaders and organisations to turn innovation into meaningful outcomes. As healthcare systems become increasingly AI-enabled and data-driven, leaders must be able to align strategy, people, and operations to scale transformation effectively. Through this collaboration with IMU University, NUS-ISS looks forward to supporting healthcare leaders and professionals in building the capabilities needed to drive sustainable and digitally-enabled transformation across the industry."
At the forum, IMU University and NUS-ISS also signed a collaboration agreement reaffirming their shared commitment to strengthening leadership and workforce capabilities across the healthcare sector. Under the agreement, both institutions will co-develop and co-deliver the "Digital Leadership and Value Creation Programme", which will be offered by IMU University from September 2026.
Designed for senior healthcare leaders and executives, the programme will equip participants with practical frameworks and capabilities to lead digital transformation initiatives, align technology investments with organisational goals, and create sustainable value in an increasingly data-driven healthcare environment. Both institutions will also explore broader opportunities in executive education, leadership development, and industry-focused programmes to support healthcare organisations in strengthening digital readiness and building capabilities for sustainable transformation.
Building the Next Generation of Digital Health Leadership
As AI becomes a central pillar of Malaysia's economic strategy and healthcare systems face growing structural pressure, the ability to align strategy, governance and execution will increasingly determine which organisations successfully scale transformation and deliver lasting value.
Healthcare transformation is no longer primarily a technological agenda. It is leadership and organisational challenge. Through this collaboration, IMU University and NUS-ISS are committed to helping healthcare organisations build the leadership capabilities needed to navigate change and realise the full potential of digital innovation.
