ZHONGSHAN, China, July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As July strikes again, SUNLU is celebrating its 13th Anniversary, marking more than a decade of innovation in 3D printing materials, filament drying technology, and user-focused product development. Since its founding, SUNLU has placed its users at the heart of its strategy, delivering high-quality products at affordable prices while continuously refining its processes to enhance the overall user experience. SUNLU's 13th anniversary is also the occasion to recognize altogether one more year of creativity and fellowship within the 3D printing community. To celebrate this milestone, SUNLU is launching a global anniversary campaign designed to give back to its community. The celebration will reward 100 loyal users selected across multiple platforms and feature prizes including 10,000 rolls of filament, 100 exclusive anniversary gifts. An exclusive AMS Lite Heater giveaway also stands as a token of appreciation for the support and trust of users worldwide.
As if the celebrations weren't enough, SUNLU is also unveiling its latest innovation: the AMS Lite Heater, set to launch on July 20, 2026, at 07:00 UTC. Designed specifically for Bambu Lab AMS Lite users, the upgrade introduces simultaneous printing and filament drying capabilities without compromising any of the AMS Lite's original functions. By combining active drying with continuous printing, the solution helps users maintain optimal filament conditions throughout the printing process, improving print quality and reducing moisture-related defects.
Filament moisture remains one of the most common causes of printing defects, leading to issues such as stringing, poor layer adhesion, surface imperfections, and inconsistent print quality. The AMS Lite Heater addresses these challenges by enabling users to dry filament while printing, eliminating the need to interrupt workflows or transfer materials between separate devices.
The system supports drying temperatures of up to 70°C and is compatible with a wide range of popular materials, including PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, PA, and PC. A dual-airflow channel design ensures uniform heat distribution throughout the chamber, providing more consistent drying performance while eliminating hot spots and uneven heating. An intelligent automatic venting system actively removes moisture during operation, preventing humidity buildup and improving overall drying efficiency.
To further protect filament quality, the upgrade incorporates high-precision humidity monitoring. Users can set humidity thresholds, allowing the system to automatically activate drying when required and maintain optimal storage conditions around the clock. Combined with multiple integrated safety protections and temperature monitoring systems, the AMS Lite Heater delivers a safe, convenient, and highly effective solution for maintaining filament performance throughout the printing process.
Last but not least, SUNLU is moving further with its worldwide expansion and reaffirms its will to strengthen its presence in North America by expanding its factory infrastructure in the United States. This investment will help improve product availability, shorten delivery times, and provide faster, more efficient service to the growing U.S. customer base.

SUNLU Unveils AMS Lite Heater and Expands US Factory for 13th Anniversary
APIA, Samoa, Aug. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- HTX Research, the dedicated research arm of HTX, has released a new report titled The Industrialization of Intelligence and the Bubble Cycle: Token Economics, Capital Expenditure, and the Repricing of Risk-Reward Across U.S. AI Equities. Its central argument is that the AI industry and AI equities are not at the same point in their respective cycles — technological diffusion remains in its early stages while capital expenditure, valuations, and investor sentiment have moved well ahead of it.
The Variables Driving Equity Prices
Markets first priced the scarcity of GPUs, high-bandwidth memory, servers, and data-center capacity, and later the capability gains delivered by frontier models and coding agents. In 2026, the variables driving equity returns are shifting away from model parameter counts and the scale of capital expenditure toward token production costs, task-completion reliability, usage intensity, enterprise-workflow penetration, and the ability of enormous AI investments to generate durable free cash flow.
Behind that shift is a change in the magnitude of capital spending. J.P. Morgan Asset Management estimates that five U.S. hyperscalers will spend approximately $697 billion in 2026, with capital expenditure rising from roughly 33% of their operating cash flow in 2023 to an estimated 93%. Once capital expenditure consumes the overwhelming majority of operating cash flow, market attention necessarily moves from revenue growth to return on capital.
The Bubble Sits in the Financial Architecture, Not the Industry
Cloud revenue, coding-agent adoption, semiconductor sales, and enterprise demand are all growing in real terms, meaning AI technology itself is not a false narrative. Capital expenditure, external financing, data-center projects, private-model valuations, and a number of high-multiple second-tier equities, however, display increasingly speculative characteristics.
Headline price-to-earnings ratios also fail to represent true valuation levels: Alphabet's multiple is distorted by investment income, and Amazon's current accounting profit does not reflect a normalized valuation. What genuinely offers value is the closest alignment among normalized valuation, competitive moats, cash flow, and AI optionality.
At current prices and cycle positions, the report views Alphabet as offering the most compelling overall asymmetry, and applies the same framework across Microsoft, Meta, TSMC, NVIDIA, Amazon, Oracle, Micron, AMD, Arista, and Vertiv — distinguishing businesses with high fundamental win rates from those whose valuations already demand near-flawless execution.
AI Is Reshaping How Crypto Investors Allocate Capital
AI's role as a shared theme across global capital markets extends beyond U.S. equity pricing into the allocation behavior of crypto investors. As names including NVIDIA, Micron, TSMC, Broadcom, Meta, and Alphabet enter the everyday portfolios of crypto users alongside gold, crude oil, ETFs, and pre-IPO assets, a growing share of users now treat crypto and U.S. equities as different allocation directions within a single global risk-asset system.
HTX has been one of the earliest crypto exchanges to systematically pursue this direction. According to data disclosed in August 2026, cumulative trading volume in the platform's TradFi perpetuals section has exceeded $2.5 billion, with support for more than 170 TradFi-related assets spanning U.S. equities, ETFs, gold, silver, crude oil, AI semiconductors, memory, aerospace, and pre-IPO themes such as OpenAI and Anthropic.
What makes this model work is the platform's existing base of crypto users who have completed registration, verification, and funding. Holding stablecoins such as USDT, they can trade TradFi assets within the same account without opening a brokerage account or moving capital into a separate financial system — allocating toward gold, ETFs, or large-cap technology when risk appetite declines, and raising crypto and high-beta AI exposure when it recovers.
The Competitive Boundary for Trading Platforms Is Shifting
Competition among trading platforms will extend beyond spot markets, derivatives, liquidity, and listing speed toward a broader contest spanning multi-asset access, wealth management, and AI investment tools. Platforms with durable competitiveness will see their core capability evolve from execution alone toward global asset distribution.
This confirms a larger judgment in the report: AI is changing not only model capability and compute demand, but capital flows, allocation behavior, and how financial products are organized. HTX's early positioning in TradFi corresponds with HTX Research's sustained tracking of the AI theme and cross-market capital flows — identifying cycle positions, reading capital flows, and understanding how assets move in relation to one another sits at the core of research work, and also forms a source of first-mover advantage in business decisions. As AI drives global markets into a new phase of convergence, institutions capable of understanding both industrial cycles and capital flows are better positioned for the next round of competition.
